How to ask an awkward question.

Whittyone12 · June 2013

Ok so I have a friend that I actually met through purr has a 6mo that we have play dates with frequently. I really like her and her son is an absolute doll. But... Today she shared a page called "the truth about vaccines". Needless to say it was all about not vaccinating. I thought she vacced, but then she posted this link. How do we ask her without making it a big thing? Because personally I don't want Keith around a baby that hasn't been vaccinated?

I wouldn't worry about seeming rude, or anything. It is about the health of your baby. Just flat out ask. "Hey i saw you posted this. Do you vacc?"

Yep, I'd flat out ask. Kids aren't fully vaxed until they've received the entire panel, which most of our LOs have not. No vaccines = no play date, in my book.

Glass half full? Maybe she's just supportive of an alternate schedule?

If you're unsure there really is only one way to know. And embarrassment is not a good enough reason to put your LO at risk. I would want to know. There are certain things that DD isn't old enough to be vacced for yet, and I would just want to make sure she isn't being exposed to anything.

BlueDevilLady:
I would also assume they don't vacc.nbsp;Also, if she's posting stuff like that on FB she's obviously open to talking about it. I feel like her posting that just eliminated a lot of the awkwardness for you."Hey, I saw what you posted on FB..that's interesting, blahblahblah"nbsp;

All of this. Just ask.
