Am I wrong to be upset that my step child came to my house while sick?

Number one you’re engaged your NOT the stepmother…number two if you WERE and he had full custody what choice would you have ?? What happens if you have another child :thinking::thinking: you REALLY think that they’re not gonna get sick and make the other kids sick :roll_eyes::roll_eyes:Take care of them all that’s what a parent does !!!

One why don’t you or her FATHER take her to the doctor or med point? This is just my opinion but he doesn’t get to stop being a dad because she is sick or anyone else in your house is sick. My ex tried pulling one on me saying he was sick. Guess what when I’m sick nobody fills in for me

You are in for a real surprise when your son starts school

This is something your just going to have to deal with. I have my step childeren show up sick all the time even after having my babies. It is what it is. Kids get sick. U cant stop that from happening. Step down a little bit. That is still a child within your care.

So, you expect him to just write off his other child because she’s sick? She is his responsibility just as much as your child with him. :roll_eyes: Give me a break and get over yourself.

Kids get sick. Just cause he shares parenting time doesn’t mean he can decide when he wants to have his child or not because she has a cold. She is his kid as well, he has responsibilities to that child as well. His time is his time whether the kid is sick or not. You don’t get to choose when he should have his child. He is responsible for her. What would you do if she lived with you all the time?

You’re a horrible person

🤦 I understand that you have a new Baby but if it’s his Day to take his other child then you have to take her your Baby is gonna get sick at some point in its life why does the Bio Mom have to deal with the sickness of the child all the time can’t the father take her to the doctors

So because she is sick she isn’t allowed to see her dad? Is the mother the only one supposed to take care of the sick child? Keep the baby away from the 6 year old, use Lysol, and help co parent. It’s not fair to the mother of this child nor is it fair to the child that she doesn’t get time with her dad. I understand why you’re worried but procautions can be put in place. It’s part of co-parenting. Get used to it.

With flu season and RSV going around she definitely should’ve taken the child to the Dr to be sure it was just a common cold. If it hadn’t been a cold, RSV or Flu instead can be deadly for a newborn so I understand your concern. If it’s a normal virus then I wouldn’t worry. Colds happen and aren’t going to kill your baby. But I still would’ve been more comfortable had the BM at least made sure with the Dr that it was nothing serious. I have 5 bios of my own, and one on the way with my husband. 35 weeks now. Also, a SS. My ex and I co parent fine and he also has two other children. If anyone gets sick we communicate and make sure it’s nothing serious before the kids go back to the other home. Just last week they stayed there for 3 extra days due to being sick so as not as likely to pass whatever it was around in our home as well. His idea. I agreed. But every situation is different. If it seems severe enough we keep the kids where they are so it’s not spreading. Its it’s a minor cold we don’t sweat it and they go.

This isn’t a family gathering where you can just tell someone not to come if it’s your step daughter it’s your responsibility to have her when scheduled and take care of her regardless. Moms don’t get a day off or exceptions if one of my kids is sick and one is not I can’t just like send one away, lol. Sometimes my kids will be fine then horribly sick the next day, it’s the time of year

Oooook. First of all, you shouldn’t care about what she thinks of your kid. What difference is her opinion going to make? Why do you care what she thinks?? Second, what if the daughter lived with you guys and she was sick? Would you ship her off to someone else until she was all better? Kids get sick. Figure out a way to separate the two kids if the one has been sick.
The mom said she was fine, you said she seemed fine until the next day so it doesn’t seem like the mom lied. If she’s been sick for a month and the mom had decided to keep her home that whole time would y’all be complaining that you weren’t getting to see the little girl? You can’t have your cake and eat it too. Figure out a way to control things at your household without involving the mom. And to answer your question, she probably doesn’t care about your kid.

You all are being so rude to her. First off she is obviously a first time mom. That’s nerve racking enough and the fact that if the little girl is sick with something minor for her it could potentially put that infant in the hospital. Depending on what my step kids are sick with I’ll tell their mom she has to keep them, same if one of mine have something I’ll let her know so the other kids don’t have to risk being miserable with it. If the germs don’t have to be spread that’s how it should be.

If she’d been yours you’d just try to contain her or isolate them, not tell a 6 year old to leave her dad’s house. It’s an overreaction imho

Dad can take the little one in to see the doc too , express your concerns to the doc, don’t keep the children apart just cause she’s sick, she isn’t purposely getting him sick, just let her know that when someone is sick you want them to wash often and not touch the baby. And practice sneezing and coughing into the elbow or a tissue, Sorry but it’s something you have to deal with whether you would like to or not babies will get sick just like the other children and it’s sappose to help build and immune system so they can fight off bugs;)

What if your own child got sick? Would you send them away so they didnt get a sibling sick?

If it was your bio child and and she was sick she would be around the baby. Being a parent is a full time job sick or not. You can’t pick and choose based on the child’s health when you want her to see her dad.

Mom should have kept the child with her while sick. If anyone in my house gets sick, seriously sick, they have to be isolated in their room. They cant leave without a mask, anyone going in has to have a mask and gloves. And I dont even have a baby. This is how illnesses spread so fast between family members and in communities. You absolutely were right for being upset.

I was a child of a split home and this was how I was treated. Visits cancelled if I was sick because it wouldn’t have been acceptable for me to get the other children sick. However, whenever one of them didn’t feel well I was still expected to keep the visit and that child was not removed from the home. So, if you want to make SD feel like she doesn’t belong or is less important than the new sibling, by all means, keep up this kind of behavior.

Thats how it works. Kids get sick no matter how young or old they are. My daughter got a cold when she was 3 weeks old. Don’t overreact. Its your SO’s daughter too. If hes that worried he needs to take her to the doctor. When i was sick i had a bad cough for 3 weeks. Just chill out. Thats not gonna be the only time your baby gets sick.

Get your partner to contact her Gp. Shared custody you’re allowed to find out medical details. If she’s telling the truth then no one is at fault so calm you mammaries. If she’s lying then your partner take her to the Gp in the meanwhile try your best to prevent the spread of infection to the newborn. You can’t stop the child from seeing her father but you can arrange something where the child doesn’t have prolonged co tact with the infant :woman_shrugging:t3:. Poorly child probably wants her daddy and if the mother has been truthful she probably needs a break. Get al the Information before you take action.

My son is in 2nd grade and he’s been sick for a week with a stuffy nose and loose cough, but no fever, all running clear so he’s not technically considered sick. Between pre k and about 3rd grade kids are constantly sick. I’m guessing you are new to this parenting thing.

Well. First off. I get it. Been there. Exactly where you are with the exact same opinion.
But i was wrong.
That’s his child too. What would you do if he had full custody? You couldn’t send her off. You couldn’t just not take her. She’s a real flesh and blood child. Not an appointment. She’s his child. Its his visitation. This isn’t a playdate or a job you can call in to.

Second. The mom is probably being honest. These massive weather shifts are causing everyone’s allergies and sinuses to go haywire. Both of my kids and myself have had this crud off and on. All the drainage caused an ear infection for the youngest but that’s not contagious. Aside from antibiotics for him for the ears. All we can do for the rest of it is give him benadryl until it clears up. And it feels like it never will.

To answer your 1st question, YES

Wow. I feel bad for the kid. That is still HIS kid whether you like it or not. He can deal with herr being sick. And like you said the baby is okay so why are you bitching? You should be ashamed.

Ok I don’t have a blended family or step kids or anything like that but isn’t the dad’s time the dad’s time? Like you don’t call out sick from seeing either parent? I have a 3 year old on preschool who I swear since day one of starting school has had a runny nose, I also just had a baby 3 weeks ago. Should I quarantine my toddler away? Lmao like there’s only so much you can do. Yes my newborn daughter is congested, yes it freaks me out and we did take her to her doctor yesterday while my son was at school. She’s fine, I’m just doing the same thing, nasal drops and sucking her nose and we have the humidifier on 24/7. I just have to accept she’s going to be exposed to things from her brother and ya know life in general. All we can do is watch them, watch for signs and take them to the docs when we feel it’s needed. Kids get sick. I don’t think it’s fair to punish the your step child and make it so she doesn’t get the time with her dad because she is sick. Like I said I have no experience in this but that’s crazy to me. Are you breast feeding? That will help your baby build up immunities to anything he is exposed to. If you are breast feeding just nurse nurse nurse away so he gets those antobidies. And take the step daughter to the doctors if you need reassurance. But she should be able to spend her time with her dad even if she’s sick. It’s mean of you to think she should be kept away or not welcomed in HER DADS house because she is sick. That’s like crazy. Like put your hormones away… They’re drunk.

Your husband is her dad too so I’d say if you don’t like it keep them separate. What do you think moms and dads who live together and have multiple children do lol

My son goes to his dads house sick, I tell him prior to his weekends that he has a cold or he this or that. If he is constantly throwing up puking, I’m not sending him because that’s not fair to either of them. But when he’s sick with a cold/cough. I tell his dad and he 99.9% of the time takes him. They also have another child.
If she was yours 100% of the time you can’t kick her out when she’s sick because you’re afraid of the baby getting sick, you just try to avoid contact with them both and sanitize like crazy.
Is this because she’s not your bio child? She has the right to see her dad and sibling. You can’t treat her any differently than you are treating your own bio children.
And she may have been perfectly fine at her moms house.
My son has a respiratory flu right now that’s been going on for 2 weeks. He is fine some days, not even a runny nose and the next day he’s hacking up his lungs. You can’t say her mom lied because she may have honestly thought she’s fine.
It seems like your just trying to pick a fight.
I also have my own kids at home, I don’t call his dad and say hey come get him because he’s sick and I don’t want my newborn to catch it. I isolate him to his room, and sanitize myself anytime I go to check on him, help him, or if he comes downstairs. I also clean my house daily so the others MIGHT not catch it. It’s life. It happens. Quit freaking out and let her see her dad.

No, the mom should know better and that you have an infant, if she had decency she would know to keep her home so the infant does not get exposed to illness especially at such a young age, but not everyone gives a damn so, but seeing how she hasn’t been getting good enough care for the daughter I and the father would’ve took them both to be seen especially since it’s been going on for so long, I hope they all get well soon :heart:

No offense but it’s not her job to care about your child. I have an ex who doesn’t want our son if he is sick and it is so unbelievably frustrating. You are both her parents as well, you should both be looking after her while she’s sick just like you would if she was biologically yours. It’s your job to keep the germs away as much as possible, and there’s no reason your fiance cannot take her to a doctor himself.

On the one hand I understand where you’re coming from with your newborn baby because there is this virus coronavirus going around plus it is croup RSV bronchitis and pneumonia season. All things not good for new born babies because they can’t can’t fight any feeling of really good right now because they’re still developing their immune system this little. To be honest you got in a relationship with someone who had a child therefore the child has to be as much your child as it is his aside from the baby mama in sickness and in health. Yes she is their child but you also took that responsibility on when accepting a band that had a child already. I think Dad should help take care of his daughter when she’s sick as well maybe you could have her use hand sanitizer every time she cleans her nose or covers her mouth to cough and if she’s sneezing and coughing you should get her some masks to put on especially if she’s around the baby. Dad has to be involved and see his child not just when she’s healthy. I wouldn’t talk to the baby mama if you’re not getting anywhere with her I would just take it upon yourselves or her dad to take her to the doctor and figure out what is going on with her and get her some medication so the poor child gets better soon then just inform the baby mama that you’re taking her to the doctor and what medication she needs to take and when. that’s all you can do it is unreal how many people don’t have consideration for other people especially when children are sick and there are newborns around are people with compromised immune systems. This winter season has been horrible for kids I know a lot of kids that have been sick for close to a month if not a month consistently my own kids have been sick now for 3 weeks and I have taken them to the doctor repeatedly and they are currently on medication. It happens when you have kids especially school-aged kids.

Us as mothers have ALL our kids while sick why should a father not?! That’s not fair on the child,the mother and good on him for being a dad and having his child. Sorry but it is selfish u should be proud of ur partner for being a dad because so many are not. Yes u have a baby u need to keep baby as germ free as possible but they’re siblings so that should void this hole “issue”.

Ok here is the thing. When you and your so got together you knew he had a child with someone else. So you knew this child would be in his life after all she is his child. I understand you don’t want your child sick but face facts sick or not this child will be there. So here is a little bit of making everyone safe. If child comes over sick dad takes her to the Dr. He can let the Dr know about the baby and what is needed if anything to keep baby safe. This child needs someone looking after her as well. If she has been this way for a month then it was apparent she needed seen again. You took the baby to ER but did not have the dad get the little girl looked at. I truly feel like this little girl is the one who is suffering here. Dad takes baby to ER for cough but neglects his other child who has been sick for a month. Shame on all adults involved.

My son left here last friday for his week with dad saturday woke up with a fever his DAD took him to urgent care he tested positive for strep, they kept him for his week even with having other children because thats what you do as a parent.

Deal with it, and get the hell over yourself.
If the 6 yr old was yours, you’d have no complaints. Nor would you have an alternative household to send the kid to.

Take the kid to the doctor yourself and step tf up, if you’re soooo pissed off about it. Don’t be surprised if you create animosity in your relationship by acting like you don’t have a responsibility to your step kid.

no, not at all! sending a child sick anywhere can be dangerous and with a new baby you have to be super careful.
Also have your fiancé make her an appointment he shouldn’t need the EX’s permission, if he’s that worried about his daughters health.

Isn’t your home also your step kids house? You are being very unreasonable. Take care of your step daughter if she’s sick, don’t just try to make her someone else’s responsibility

Dad can just take stop putting it all on her why shouldn’t dad get the good with the bad :woman_shrugging: 50/50 love you new wat u was getting into be better for your kid in long run anyways to catch a few bugs :roll_eyes: ffs grow up

Um. Well I mean. If you have another kid your not gonna be able to send your oldest away when they are sick to keep away from the baby. So you shouldnt really do that to your step child either. What do you think people with 2+ kids do when one is sick? You cant just pick and choose when its convenient for you for your SO first kid to see her father.

When u have 2 kids and one is sick, u keep them in separate rooms of the same house and disinfect. You don’t kick them out of the house…she isn’t a visitor.

If you had multiple children would you make them leave if they were sick? Take care of the 6 year old little girl who doesn’t understand and just wants to see her dad. You are totally wrong to be upset. Just take her to and urgent care if it’s that big of an issue.

No you’re an idiot a complete idiot because it’s not like it’s some other kid from a daycare coming over to visit it’s your step child and you should see it no different than them being your actual child! That’s that child’s home too!

So if you have another child and your oldest gets sick, are you going to send the oldest to the grandparents?

Its gonna happen again if you two decide to have another baby ever? Depending in the severity of the kids cold, i would still send my daughter to her dads, hes going to be exposed to everything anyway

If dad had custody and she was sick would you make her leave because her little brother is there? That’s not very fair… I understand being upset that your baby is sick but it HAPPENS. Kids get sick and they pass the sickness back and forth… there’s not much that you can really do. :woman_shrugging:t2:

I don’t even need to read the whole thing to tell you that is unacceptable. How on Earth can you tell that mother not to send the FATHER his child because she’s sick?? It is his responsibility whether she is sick or not. What if this was your biological child? You would have no choice but to take care of a sick child AND a five week old.
