Should I feel Bad?

[RiffRandell]

I already do, because I am a germ freak---always washing my hands, etc. Last Monday, my 3-yr old son comes down with a cold. We have no family down here, and always get together with friends on Thanksgiving. On Wednesday, I feel like I'm getting sick. I call the guests we are supposed to attend at (and say we are sick) and they say no problem, come anyway. I had to make 2 dishes and offered not to make them, for fear I would spread germs. Again, no problem. Now they are sick and are calling me with guilt-trip shit "I hope my mom doesn't get it, cuz it could become pneomonia". And then she brings up her newly pregnant daughter, and says "I hope she doesnt't get sick either." Now I completely fucking know not to go over someone's house when you're sick, but should I feel as bad as I do?

1. you dont need to feel bad. like they dont come in contact with germs...

anywhere else. You should have told them to wash their poopy hands.

Wait...

You called and let them know you were sick? They said come on over and bring some food anyway?

If that's the case, they have absolutely no right playing the guilt card with you.

btw, love your name and welcome :)

3. You're writing is unclear

You say that they said it was no problem if you didn't come.

But later on, your post makes it seem like you did go, and that maybe they got the germs from you.

4. Sorry, they said to come. I know they probably felt bad

because we don't have any family here---they didn't want us to spend the holiday alone.

5. Do not feel bad please!

You forewarned them and they still wanted you there. Do not feel bad because what you told them came true. You forewarned and that is all you can do in a situation like that.

I hope everyone gets to feeling better.

6. Don't feel bad...

You told them you weren't feeling good and yet they said to come anyway...that doesn't mean they got sick from you, they could have gotten it anywhere...there's a lot of crap going around.
