MIL (Vent)

in Babies: 0 - 3 Months

Less annoyed at MIL than I was 5 days ago but still irritated. My DH is Jewish and on Feb 1st we had my son's Bris. We had the Bris at DH's grandparents' house. DH's grandmother was ill and the agreement was she would hide herself in a back room, completely avoiding me and the baby. Well MIL decreed grandma (her mom) to be not contagious anymore and dragged her out. Grandma avoided me and DS to the best of her ability but it was still annoying that MIL violated the agreement, especially because grandma thought it was the flu.

Well Tues I started getting sick and Wed it was determined that I had the flu! I ended up in the ER for fluids while hubby took DS home. I then stayed at my mom's until I had been without a fever for 48 hours. FIL helped DH while I was gone but wasn't the best help. Yesterday MIL came with FIL when he came over to help put the changing table together. Not a word was said about me being sick, she didn't even ask how I was doing!

    She probably doesn't get that the flu this year is a bigger deal than usual... would make me PO as well.

    While I understand your frustration.  I also think I would have tried to possibly reschedule an event I had planned at someones house who was having the flu.  I get that it might be hard to change last minute, but I also think it's rather rude to hold an event at someones house who is not only sick with the flu but then keep them in a back room as well.  Again sorry you are sick but I would have probably tried to avoid the situation to begin with. Being the same house you still would be exposed to germs.

    I think a bris has to be on a specific date in the newborn boy's life.  I don't know if there was much wiggle room on this one.

    This. I wasn't thrilled with the Bris being there but I wasn't in charge of the prep for it, I left that to hubby and MIL. Also, as far as I know we didn't have any other options on location because our place is too small and all of the rest of his family live farther away.
