possibilities August 15 Share August 15 It's hard for me to be sympathetic to people who (1) like to play the martyr instead of availing themselves of options, and (2) had no problem exposing every other family to the bug they themselves didn't want to catch. Just tell the kid you're sick, reschedule the party, and let them be disappointed for a few minutes. Otherwise you're not only a disease vector, but you're also failing to teach them about reality. Also, tell the kid you have a headache instead of just giving in right away when she refuses to move to the carpet or go with grandma. 1 Link to comment
