So on Thanksgiving we showed up and BIL walks in with our niece and goes on about how’s shes sick. Been very congested for several days and she doesn’t look the greatest. We have a 4 month old that I don’t want getting sick. I feel that it would be common sense to stay home with a sick child regardless if it’s a holiday or not. I know I would’ve stayed home with our daughter if she was sick with something that was potentially contagious. But if he chose not to stay home with her then I wouldn’t have went.
Opinions please. Do I just seem over paranoid or am I being realistic in my expectations? Would you stay home if you knew someone was showing up sick?

If preschool age kids stayed home every time they had a runny nose they would never leave the house lol
But really, I used to be super stressed about it, but it’s gotten better. The more exposure kids have the more their immune systems are built up. If you are breastfeeding it’ll help. The only time my son got a cold was because he went somewhere without me and people were sick. My breast milk then did not have the antibodies since I wasn’t exposed.
