ok so my daughter turned one this past weekend. We had a party for her and there were about 20 kids there under the age of 6. A friend of mine called me today and told her her son got croup the day after the party and so she assumes he got it there! i apoligized and told her i was so sorry that i hope he felt better, well she proceeds to say that she heard my daughter cough at the party so she's pretty sure he got it from her. Now my daughter DID have croup this month, but it was literally new years day that she came down with it...its been four weeks...there is NO way she's still contagious...and I told her that. And mind you...no one else at the party has gotten sick. She was like well thats how its spread (a cough) and mucus so she def gave it to him...and now is not talking to me!!

I understand if my daughter was sick and I knowingly brought her to a party and spread her illness...but she's not sick...no one else is...and to be honest i haven't head her cough at all so i have no idea what she's talking about. I can't believe she's mad at me! i dont know weather or not i should say something to her!

What the heck?  Even if he did catch it from your kid (unlikely), what does she expect you to do about it?

I totally get annoyed with parents, well my SIL, who brings her child who has HFM to my in laws to play with my DS. If you stayed home from DC why would you bring her around my kid. Whateve.

That being said, I couldn't imagine calling someone out as she did to you.

Your friend has issues.

Does she want you to donate your trachea to her kid?

I am always in favor of pointing out people's stupidity.

That is extreme. I wouldn't be too sad that she was ignoring me as she sounds a bit crazy.

i totally agree with you! if someone is knowingly sick, you should keep them home! but my daughter isn't sick...hasn't been for over a month...so I have no idea what she is expecting me to do/say?

Your "friend" is an idiot.  Generally, with viral infections, the children have it and are contagious before any symptoms show up.  It's likely that her son has been sick with this for at least a few days now.  You'll be lucky if HER child didn't get other kids sick at the party.

You should pass this info along to her:

 

https://www.medicinenet.com/croup/page2.htm

 Children with croup are most contagious during the first days of fever and illness.

 

If your daughter hasn't had any symptoms in over a month, she didn't get him sick.

That's a really childish thing to not speak to someone over.

Maybe she's just dealing with a sick kid and feels the need to take it out on someone.  I'd leave it alone until she comes around and if she doesn't.. oh well.  She's not being very reasonable.  I'm not sure what she wants you to do at this point!

The incubation period for croup is 2 days, at the shortest. Your friend is wiggity wack.

 

And LOL @ Sookie and Heather R

It sounds like she just wants someone to blame for her life being turned on it's side while her son is sick. She probably feels that your apology validated what she wanted to believe (ie your daughter gave him the croup-which we all know she didn't). I wouldn't worry about it, 'nor would I communicate with her. It's just not worth it and she's not in her right mind to receive anything you say at this point anyway. Give her some space and if she comes around great, if she doesn't you're probably better off.

If she said her kid showed signs the day after the party, he didn't pick it up there. She may, however, have unintentionally exposed all the other kids that were at the party.

No advice, just empathy. My SIL totally bitched me out because her kids got sick after my kids birthday party and blamed us.

Honestly, I just said sorry and ignored her. lol

Your friend exposed herself as the crazy mom. I'd let it go. You can't reason with crazy.

Seriously, your friend needs to grow the fock up! Kids get sick....you can't keep them in a bubble! If she doesn't want her child to ever catch anything from another child, she should keep him home and be prepared to home school!

Ok 4 weeks later, your daughter is no longer contagious.  Even if she did cough once.  It was not as if you took your sick child to play with others, she hasn't been sick in 4 weeks.  What the heck does your "friend" expect you to do, you apologized if she got sick from someone at your party, although it sounds to me like that's probably not the case and for her to"blame" you and give you the cold shoulder, sounds like she's got a chip on it that needs to be knocked off.  I'd tell her that once again you already apologized and to get over it already. You did nothing wrong.
