What would you say?

What would you say to the person, giving you crap about not wanting to get sick? This person acts like I am odd and completely out there because I choose not to go around them when they are/have been sick.

Rewind a little bit, last month right before Thanksgiving, I went around her and the kids. They had been exposed to a stomach bug (I had no idea), I got sick a few days later. We waited a week and a half before seeing them, went over for dinner, ds got sick the next day and then dh. I'm guessing it came from her house. 

Fast-forward to today. She went to a birthday party over the weekend and was around some people that came down with the flu the next day. She is now acting like I am being ridiculous because I don't want to chance getting sick. We have gotten the flu shot, she doesn't do that. 

So, now we are at odds because of our differences. Let me just say that I am a complete germaphobe. 

Am I wrong? What would you say to this person? Btw, this person is my sister.

    I agree with you and am the same way! I would just tell her that you don't want to risk it especially since your family just got over being sick and you don't want your LO sick over Christmas! She may disagree but oh well! You are the one that will have to care for a sick family if they catch it!
    We constantly disagree on this topic. It frustrates me so much. LO has a cold now, why would I want to expose him to the flu *if* they are carrying it? We are temporarily out of town for a few months and since we got here, all of us have been sick with something. Not something we are used to.

    If it was my sister I'd tell her to stop being a twat and drop it.

    I HATE being sick. I HATE when Z is sick. So I would absolutely be the same way you are.

    Perhaps meet on neutral ground- go grab lunch or go somewhere that isn't germ stew (like her house, if they were all recently sick).
