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

Yes, you’re wrong.
If your husband had full custody, she’d be there through all of the sicknesses.
Managing and balancing that is parenting.

Yeah as much as you would like to spend time with her she should have stayed home and not spreading it to others

Seriously? That is his daughter she has just as much right there even if she is sick as your son does wtf? If she was your daughter and not your step kid would u still be acting that way? You’re a piece of shit dont marry him or be with someone that has kids if you’re going to treat them that way. Why can’t u guy’s take her to the doctor and have her check out like you did your son?? Smh.

The answer is YES you are wrong

As a parent and stepparent the fact that you even had this thought is disgusting. Either you parent and love them all or don’t step into the picture at all. I would jump in a second for any 3 of my babies 2 of which are my step daughters, their well being isn’t any less important than their brothers which is my only biological … kids don’t chose to come from broken homes and mentalities like this are part of the reason things are so hard on them. Stop giving step parents a bad name. Some of us are bomb ass parents who love those kids as our own :100::muscle:t2:

Sounds like you think your son is more important than your step child in some way. I understand being nervous with a newborn but if you had a biological older child who was sick and in the home… would you be just as upset? The 6yr old could have seemed better so the mother sent her for her visit with her father and you and her new sibling. This is parenthood, and you decided to be with a man who already has a child and should really be thinking of her as your own… would you send your own bio child away for however long and not see them or allow them in your home in this situation? Doubt it lol

That’s your fiance’s child. Jesus Christ. Have her father take her to the damn doctor.

Um… That’s your husband’s child. You don’t banish him because he’s sick. If both children were yours would you send away the sick one??

Yes you’re being unreasonable.

So what if it had been your daughter. You going to kick her out of your house cause of your 5wk old son? Not any different if she was your daughter living there.

You’re both in the wrong. You more than she is. What is considered ok for a 6 year old is not ok for a 5 week old. My boyfriend’s son is 8 and he showed up to our house coughing and congested after having a cold, I made sure that he didn’t get too close to his 6 week old brother and washed his hands. My baby didn’t get sick. We will not allow anyone who is sick to hold him or get in his face and won’t go near anyone’s home if they have the flu. He is now almost 3 months old and has only had mild head congestion. So if she is sick set boundaries for her around the baby and if baby gets sick take them to the doctor. Don’t make it so the little girl can’t see her dad just because she is sick. That’s not fair to her.

Honestly you are wrong… if you had more then one child and one was sick would you send said child away until they are better? I’m guessing no and that sounds silly right? Well so does what you are saying you can’t control when kids get sick. If it’s her dads time with her then she should come over. YOU can limit contact with the newborn that’s your job as a parent. I would be more upset that it sounds like she is continuously sick and not getting better. The BM shouldn’t be concerned about your son because honestly it doesn’t matter.

So if it were YOUR child would you have them leave the house since they’re sick and you don’t want them around the baby then? My guess is no- so stop treating this kid differently and deal
With it. Shit happens :woman_shrugging:t4:

You need to grow up. That girls your partners child the same as your baby is. Being sick is not a reason for him not to be a damn parent!!! If YOU don’t like it, YOU leave! Howbthey hell can you expect a little girl to go without her daddy?

You’re not wrong no. YES your step daughter is your husbands child but everyone saying “what if she lived with you full time” is so irrelevant! She doesn’t! Therefore she is just like any other person coming to your house, you wouldn’t invite over anyone who was sick when you have a 5 week old! Some understanding between the adults would go a long way here. If your step daughter is sick when your son has had a chance to build an immune system (at least had his needles) then it’s fine, but not when he’s 5 weeks old. Smh

Good lord some people are being to harsh on here. Don’t you guys remember what it was like to be a mom for the first time and that irrational NEED to protect that baby from anything and everything? Her feeling are valid - however in my opinion, when it comes to a sibling (half or not) you can’t just shun them. Just take proper precautions… Hand washing, don’t let her hold the baby, etc.

I have a 5 year old, 4 year old and 7 month old. When my little was a couple of weeks old, my 5 year old got really sick. Ear infection, sinus infection, running fever and bronchitis. I did not send my child away because of the newborn. I did however tell her that until she got better she would not be allowed to ply with or hold her brother. Problem solved. He never caught what she had. Both of my older kids are in school so they are constantly bringing home germs. Honestly though, it’s ok for your baby to sick now and again so his body learns how to fight things off. As a parent who’s significant other is the stepdad to my girls. If he ever said the girls needed to be sent away because they were sick, I would flip out. Because you’re basically telling him your baby is more important than your stepdaughter.

And u couldn’t care for a sick child while taking care of ur baby what if she lived with u guys on a full time basis then what?? Please keep in mind i have 3 kids of my own!!

I think this NEW mom just wants advice on how she feels. Yes she has a newborn and that baby is at the most delicate stage of his lil life. Doctors even advise that baby should not be around anybody who is sick. Especially since they are not old enough for the whooping cough vaccine or the flu. Dad should obviously be able to take his child BUT make sure they take extra precautions such as having the child wash their hands and keep a distance from the baby. There is nothing wrong with a mom trying to look out for the health of both kids. There just different ways of doing it.

I think moreover your concern as a step parent should be is she concerned over her own daughters health if this has been going on over a month. I don’t blame you for not wanting the sick daughter around a 5 week old. I can’t remember but do they even have vaccines yet at 5 weeks? I am sorry you posted on here because there will be a lot of rude and judgmental women. I get the vibe from you that you love your stepdaughter and if your son was older you wouldn’t be reacting this way toward this. With that being said also realize your hormones are affecting your emotions. So try not to take it too personally. Stepdaughters mom also probably needs a break but she should have more concern for her daughters brother. I know had the stepdaughter lived with you, you wouldn’t even be asking advice on here lol

If you had more than one child at home would you send the sick one away?

I was always kept home with my grandma or mom if I was sick when my father should of had me. It was at his/his wife’s request and they had no other children to worry about.

I feel like her mother knowing there was a 5wo in the home should of discussed it prior and tried to help accommodate something around if she couldn’t keep her schedule wise.

And what would you do if you had two of your own kids? Send the other away when they got sick or deal with it like a parent should. You need to re-evaluate yourself and when your bonus child is at your home maybe try taking care of her and your son.

I didnt even read it and thought “this bitch” :rofl: you are with the man and that is his baby first…as a single mom I dont get to choose when my girls sick nor can I send her away. Put your big girl panties on and quit being a bitch. That child is your child now too, and if you cant deal with that then hunny your a deadbeat “step mother”.

I don’t think it’s just she doesn’t care for your son’s health. If the little girls is always like that perhaps the mum doesn’t bother a lot for her own child either. I would just take her to the Dr or even after hours and get it seen to. Because while in your care that includes medical care. Be worth seeing if there is a cause of such frequent infections she may be low on something that a Dr could easily fix. But other than that sickness happens. I had two toddlers when I had my third she was weeks old and I had a c section when kids picked a bug up from preschool little one ended up with the RSV virus. It took ages for her to come right but sadly is all part of it.

If it were your own biological kid you would have no choice — they would be in your house, sick or not. I suggest you view it that way. She is family, and she needs a place to be even when she’s sick.

She’s his child. What if you had custody of your step daughter? Would you kick her out? Children get sick, frequently from their siblings. Hand washing, no kissing the baby if she’s sick, etc. Telling her she can’t see her father should not be an option unless she has something life threatening.

Someone has a LOT of growing up to do. :woman_facepalming:t2::roll_eyes:

Kids take turns for the worst. They can be fine then sick.
A Lot of the time doctors will say that are fine too. Send them back to school. It’s just a cold. It is hayfever etc etc.

I also don’t think the dad should get to pick and choose when to have the kids.
You have them at their worst and best .

Thats it.
Kids get sick deal with it.

I wish I could give away my kids when they get sick. Having 5 it sucks. Especially if it’s croup or gastro. But I don’t get to pick and choose and even if I could I wouldn’t. They are my responsibility and their dads responsibility .
Take them no matter what. Happy sad sick or healthy.

Maybe she has allergies!! My daughter went almost 2 months with a cough that just wouldn’t go away. I had her at the drs almost every week in those 2 months. They gave antibiotics and then tried steroids, and neither worked. They prescribed her Zyrtec and a few days of taking it, the cough stopped. Recently, she ended up with a pretty nasty cold and ear infection which I had to stop the Zyrtec to give her all the other meds and that same annoying cough, which is way worst in the mornings, came back til she got a few days of Zyrtec in her again. I understand being worried about your baby getting sick, but I’d be more concerned with getting the poor little girl better before I worried about on possibly getting sick. She’s probably miserable!!

You cant put your baby in a plastic bubble. Babies will be exposed to germs and will be up their immunities. You can control who your baby will come into contact with at doctor offices, stores or in community. You seem like a very cruel person to not want 6 year old to see her father. He has just as much responsibility as the mother. He can also take to the doctor.

Check her for a temperature on her arrival. If she has a temperature send her home. U have every right to send her home

I am assuming somebody else has said this… but… a split family doesn’t mean you get to pick and choose when you take your child… or at least it shouldn’t. If she was your child and you had a newborn, would you send her away because she was sick or had a cough?? Not likely.

When its the dads turn to have his daughter, its his turn. Period. Thats what being a parent is about. Dad should have taken his daughter to the emeegency room himself.

You can tell you’re on your first child… I am a mother of 4. The oldest being my 7year old step daughter. Kids get sick ALL the time. I treat my step daughter the same exact way I treat our other children. When it’s our time with her we take her and continue her meds at our house… we would never send her away. That’s absolutely ridiculous. Just because a you and your SO now have a child does not mean that suddenly his daughter comes second. That’s not fair to her or to your SO. If you had other children with your SO I’m sure you wouldn’t be sending them away or speaking of them not feeling well so harshly… you would take care of them and your infant… because that’s what mothers do. If I were your SO I would be hurt.

Your both wrong. the bio mom should not have sent a sick child around a new born, extremely selfish on her part and doesn’t seem to care about your child. You should realize you have two children now and they are both your responsibility in sickness and health. Should she have been dropped off no but she was so you should take care of her the same way you take care of your son. It sounds like you and bio mom need to get over your selves and start putting both kids first.

“I honestly feel like she was very reckless sending THEIR daughter over knowing that we had a newborn and that THEIR daughter was still sick”

Read that to yourself and read it again. And keep reading it until it sinks it. You mean YOUR step-daughter.
You are now a blended family and this child is part of your family. They are all equal and should be loved and treated the same Mama.

Imagine how this young girl feels knowing she isn’t welcome into her Dad’s home because she’s not feeling well? Kids get sick.

I understand your concern especially with a little newborn. But you can take precautions. Hand washing, sanitizing etc. What if your husband became ill or sick , where you gonna send him? Maybe he can stay with his ex and his daughter.

I understand that you’re a new mom, and your hormones are wild right now and you want to protect your baby. However, your step daughter should be seen as your child just as much as your newborn. Kids get sick. Newborns get sick. Children in general are Petri dishes, and for all you know, it could just be allergies which is not contagious. If you are that concerned, just try to keep them separated as much as possible while she’s there and Lysol the heck out of your house. Don’t shun her from the house and her dad because she’s sick.

I coparent with my ex husband and even if my kids are sick, they still go to their dads and vice versa. We have never had this conversation but we both just send them anyways because it is that parents turn according to our custody agreements. Doesn’t matter if they’re sick or if I’m sick.

You’re a parent to both. Nothing aggravates me more then when my child can’t see her “so called dad” just because she’s sick. You can’t just pick and choose when to be a parent. It’s in sickness and health, if you had two children or more it’s not like you can send your kids off somewhere just so the baby doesn’t get sick. It’s not the daughters fault. I’ve had to pick my daughter up when he noticed her sick… and I had to explain to her why she couldn’t go. She told me I always care for her when she’s sick. And I had to tell her but with him it’s different baby. I mean what else can I tell her? You need to stop what you’re doing. Stop choosing to parent only at your convenience. Just make sure to clean and disinfect the house. You can keep her separated from the baby as in not kissing or getting close.

Step or not… sick or not. If your with the father you treat them like your own. Would you ever give up time with your child just cause they are sick… hopefully no n that child should expect nothing less from you then a biological children. Learn know or you have a long road ahead of you. You can’t pick n choose when to be a bonus mom. I’m married 20 years with a 25 year old bonus son, would never deny just for a sickness. Would never question it. Go above n beyond you receive the love n respect as a parent n be a best friend #bonusmomlifeisoneofthebestlifes

Just a reminder babies have no amunity to whooping cough, a person who kisses a baby near the mouth with a cold sore can infect a baby and these are just a few things that are a death sentence to a baby.

Honestly if the child is not sick at Mom’s like mom says and is not sick on arrival but wakes up with a cough and/ot congestion the chances are it’d be an allergen at your house that she’s breathing in
Could be from literally anything like pet dander, dust, plant pollen in or around your house, ot even something like the detergent used to wash her bedding

My grandma had 4 out of 6 sick in the house while trying to clean everything and take care of everyone, she didn’t send the sick ones to grandmas… also dad, depending on where legal custody stands with the two of them, should take her to the dr. If she’s got a fever… not for just sniffles and boogers tho

My son’s father did this to him…didn’t want our son at his house til his new kid was vaccinated. I said 1, vaccinations only cover so much if it’s just a cold… vaccinations don’t cover that and even being vaccinated for the flu doesn’t always help you can still get it. If they had another kid they wouldn’t be able to just ship their first kid off cuz he’s sick so the other one don’t get sick…that’s not how it works. Being a parent is 24/7 and that means being a parent to ALL your kids whether biological or step! Whether sick or healthy!

I’ve been where you are in the past. Keep the baby away from her and have your husband take his daughter to the doctor. You shouldn’t even get that woman involved. Make sure the daughter stays on meds and gets better. If she doesn’t, maybe you should start logging all the doctors visits and the problems to use in the future. Video the little girl coughing and having issues.

I’m so glad there is some commonsense advice here. Coughs can last for weeks.

Love this little girl like your own because she didn’t make this choice, her parents did. She is now lucky to have many more people who she can love and trust in her life.

If you have a second child of your own flesh and blood are you going to have your first born child leave the home for a week so the new baby won’t get sick? Lol Jesus… grow up lady!!

It’s not right to ban the girl from coming to visit her dad unless there’s a serious illness. Consider it as if you have another child of your own living with you. What are you gna do? Get rid of your kid cuz they’re sick?? NO!! You deal with it best you can between the children. As parents we deal with each situation and child as needed.

Lol stfu. That’s her home as much as it is your kids. It’s not fair you want her to stay away because she’s sick. I hope you husband takes a good look at you favoriting your child over his and leaves!
