Got a bit of a problem, family/health issue. PLEASE HELP!!!!?

Question

Alright, here we go.

Today is my sister's only daughters 7th birthday. We are supposed to go to the Hibachi Grill for dinner, then go to Chuckie Cheese. She said that she want's me and my husband to help out because they are inviting about 30 kids. Also, all my kids have their hearts set on going.

Heres the big catch. Once again, 5 of my 6 kids caught the stomach flu. They are pretty sick, vomiting about twice every hour, beleive me, they are usually much worse.

So I called my sister and told her that Miachel, Bailey, Breanne, Derin, and Kiala are all sick with the tummy yuckies. What does she do? "BUT YOU WERE SUPPOSED TO HELP OUT!!!! Marissa is going to be SOOOOO upset!!!"

So after she sends me on this HUGE guilt trip, she tells me that if we don't show up, she won't help out with watching my kids on fridays so I can get shopping/errands done.

What do I do now? Keep my sick kids comfy at home, or go to her party while they barf their guts out?

Thanks alot!

HELP!!

She just called back and said "Are you on your way yet?".

I am so Friggin PISSED OFF at her bitchiness. "Well, just bring them, theres toilets here, and if kids catch it it will be your problem, not mine!!!" CAN YOU BELIEVE SHE WOULD SAY SUCH A THING?!?

GRRRRRRRRRRRRR!!!! I am so sick of her, If you want, you can call her and bit*ch her out too!!! 303-522-7163

I hope her daughter gets sick and can't go to her own party!!!!

Sorry, I am just pissed right now, and ALL of you so far are doing great, she is selfish!!!

Thanks, but their dad is at work till 10:00 tonight.

Answer 1

Wow, what an attitude! If it wouldn't risk someone else's kids I'd say take your kids and hope that her daughter gets it! That's mean I know, but that would upset me greatly!! I can't believe she is being like that! Don't let her make you feel guilty it's not like you gave your kids the flu or wanted to miss your nieces party... I'm sorry she's doing that. Take care of your kids and forget about her!! Hopefully she'll grow up quick and realize that she was wrong...

EDIT: She's not the murderous type is she??? I'd hate for her to find out that you posted her number and then kill you. I am SOOO sorry that you are going through this with her! It's not like 5 pukey kids isn't enough stress! If I lived closer to you I'd go kick her a.s.s for you.

Answer 2

First and foremost you are a mother and your duty lays with your children. Keep them at home not only for their sakes but the other kids that are there could get sick too. Maybe your husband can stay home with the kids and you can go help out at the party. If thats not an option then call your sister back and say that you are very sory about this but you cant bring your kids to the party because they could get everyone else sick. Ask if there is anything else you could do to help out like make goody bags etc. Good Luck and Take Care.

Answer 3

Tell her that you will be happy to go and help. But you have to take your sick kids. You will take care of the party, and she can clean up all the puke. Plus all the other 30 kids will more than likely also get sick. Is she willing to take care of 30 barfing kids? I'll bet she will change her mind. You may also want to let her know that you would much rather be at a party having fun, instead of cleaning up puke. Then, if shes still pissed, take a bag of puke, light it on fire on her front porch, ring the bell and scat. Just kidding people, no thumbs down, or sniveling is needed.

Answer 4

So I thought this question was a joke, you know how people pose probelms but they are so ridiculous you just know they are kidding so I read through your other questions and answers to see what else you have as funny scenerio questions. Well I discovered that this may actually be a real problem you are facing.
All I can say is wow and sorry. But Don't go, dont take your kids.
I thought my in-laws were bad! Your sister must be part of thier family!

Answer 5

OK, your sister is being a brat but I would GO to her kids party if I was you. I would have my husband stay home with the sick kids and go help my sister out. If she's having 30 kids coming and you guys were the only ones that were going to help her I'd probally go (but leave sick kids with dad at home).

It's a drag, but she's probally feeling stressed and if she has only one child the world revolves around it. I'd go just because I feel it's not worth the bad feeling's between the two of you, even though she should be more understanding. Sounds like she might never get over it if you don't go.

Answer 6

For the sake of everyone at Chuck E Cheese's, keep your kids at home! They are extremely contagious, and your sister is being unreasonable expecting you to drag your sick kids to the party. It's not fair to expose other people to a stomach bug for the convenience of one person. Keep the kids home and let your sister throw a tantrum. You should be the one mad at her.

Answer 7

I am sorry your sister is so imature, especially since she is old enough to have a seven year old. Do not go, your children should be your priority. Forget about Friday, your children will still be ill, or at least by then the other one will be. Just know you are doing the right thing for your children, and she wants what is best for hers.

Answer 8

Your sister is being selfish. If she cannot handle her kid's b-day party herself she should not invite so many people. Would she rather you bring your kid's flu germs and infect everyone at the party? She needs to grow up. It sounds like your sister is acting like the 7 year-old!

Answer 9

Obviously stay home with your kids. Or even better, bring your kids. :P. But really, you shouldn't be guilt tripped. Your sis can find a parent of one of the 24 kids to help out.

Answer 10

I wouldnt go if you have to take your kids. I would hate leaving my kids, but if you could leave them home I would go and drink out of her cup to make sure she gets it! That was mean and spitful I know, but that is how she is being at this moment!!
