RANT!!
I am beyond irritated/ pissed. So on Christmas my SIL brought her sick 4 month old to the Christmas gathering thinking he wasn't contagious... even though he has been irritable,low fever, red eyes and nose also a terrible cough and groaning in discomfort. Now, why I'm so annoyed is she is the type that will literally leave a gathering if someone else's kid was sick a week prior and has been treated and recovered or if a child sneezes she freaks. Come to find out her son still feels like crap so she brought him to the doctor and he has RSV. I am beyond annoyed because other family didn't come to the gathering because their son was sick week prior and they didn't want to intrude on her because she is the type to leave the party early and they didn't want to be the cause. Now they are mad and felt left out becausd she went ahead a brought her "unknown" sick baby to the part. I'm mad too, because I could tell he was contagious just by hearing and seeing him! I have a 8 week old daughter and didn't let then get close but still, why even risk that? Babies do not cough and groan for no reason.

I would be upset. We basically canceled christmas with my parents because my mom got shingles. We will do it sometime next week. I am psycho about ill people/kids being around the baby so young

I got lucky, so me being a paranoid mother I called the pediatrician and told them she was around a baby and toddler that had RSV and asked if I should bring her in. He said to bring her in to be tested even though she appeared to be fine, he is the type to be cautious.
Luckily little one didn't contract it even with family passing babies around and toddler slobbering on everything in sight.
We got lucky and God was looking out!

SIL knew he was sick. there's no way she could ignore the signs you described as normal. She probably just didn't want to be the one excluded from the festivities.

I am pissed because now all day my DD hasn't hardly slept unless she is in my arms, she is irritable and I can tell she is uncomfortable. I just don't know if it's from RSV or her leap/growth spurt. I'm currently on hold with the pediatricians office because I want her tested since she is showing these signs already.

That’s insane and I would have been pissed!!! I already almost dealt with sick family at thanksgiving. My cousins son just had a cold she thought and she was going to come to thanksgiving anyways and I was begging her not to die to my baby not having any shots yet! Well she was about to leave and noticed a rash on him!! Turns out he had hand foot and mouth!!! So did her daughter! Thank god she didn’t come! So any time there’s babies involved I think it’s best to stay home if they’re sick
