[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't get most of these comments. I feel privileged when a friend asks me for help. There's such social pressure to always appear so strong, pulled together, etc.. When someone asks for help, they're showing some vulnerability and trust.
 Mutual help is a core part of friendship. Why are so many posters assuming imbalance based on this ONE incident?

OP, your friend shouldn't have brought someone else without checking with you first but chalk that up to [b]being childless and not knowing about the vulnerability of newborns during flu season. [/b]You could have handled it a little more graciously, but not a big deal. Brief apology to friend is good enough.[/quote]

Yes, those childless are so stupid. That's why the childful deem to reserve the manual labor as a special privilege for them.

The guest was in OPs house for an hour with no overt symptoms of a cold. She had to tell OP that she had one. She was very unlikely to be contagious, but even though *gasp* [i]!childless![/i] she somehow knew enough that direct contact, even though asymptomatic AFTER a cold, was likely to be a potential risk and SAID SO.

Helping a friend is a wonderful thing. Being summoned to help (with something that was a petty task to start with, but that's besides the point) because you are single and childless is a little less special.
