[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]A friend is mad at me and want to see if this is common or if I’m a weirdo. We are middle class and have a one vacation per year. We have spent a lot of time and money planning it and are really looking forward to it next month! In turn, I limit activities the week prior (no parties, no indoor play places, play dates etc) to try and prevent kids getting sick and ruining the trip.

Well a good friend is having a bday party for her child the weekend before we leave. [b]She doesn’t work but her child is in full time daycare[/b] as are the class friends that’ll be in attendance (we talk often and know he’s literally always sick with something or another). I told her point blank we can’t come because we don’t want to risk the kids getting sick. Now she isn’t speaking to me.

I feel bad but am I the only one that does this?? I feel it’s smart but also understand full time working with kids in daycare people go on vacations all the time without a hitch. [/quote]

This was an odd detail to include.

I would just have made up a conflict. I think your explanation implies this group is very germy compared to your kid.[/quote]

Agree. I wondered about the inclusion of that detail too and it make me dislike OP to be totally honest. [/quote]
