Just some super annoying mama drama! One of the co-op moms has a kiddo that is highly contagious and she wanted to bring him anyways. I told her we wouldn’t go if she was going. (Can’t control other people, can only control myself.) Anyways, it turned into “a whole thing”. 🤷🏻♀️😳🙄
It was one of those situations where neither option is going to work out great. I’ve actually encountered the same situation twice before. Previously, I had told the other person I was uncomfortable with them bringing their contagious children. Which resulted in the mom getting really angry and not talking to me anymore in one instance and the other person just being extremely offended and put off that I would tell them to stay home in the other instance. I figured this time I would try a different approach and just say they could do whatever they wanted and we wouldn’t be there. I’m not sure that it went that much better though. 🤷🏻♀️ Apparently, the only agreeable option is to tell the other mom that it’s fine, let them bring the sick kid, show up anyway, and hope for the best. But unfortunately, I’m not willing to do that. I can’t knowingly expose my family to contagious illnesses. Also, I won’t tell other people what to do. I have tried that, and it doesn’t go well. This only leaves me with one option, which is to control my own behavior and not go at the risk of offending someone. I suppose the other option would be to make up some excuse and lie to save face and avoid offending anyone. 🤦🏻♀️🤷🏻♀️ c’est la vie!
It is a tough situation, for sure. Again, I commend you on keeping your family the priority and doing all you can to keep them safe. Maybe through this another family will step up and feel the same way you do and will want to hang out with you…when everyone is feeling well.
heavens to betty 
Hope you are okay.

Thanks! It’ll be okay 👍 but yeah, one of my least favorite things is “girl drama”. I’d seen that quote a few years ago and thought it applicable.

I agree with your quote. Sometimes you just have too stand up for yourself.

I saw the quote somewhere a few years ago – I don’t know who said it first.
