The little girl audrey is coming over to our house and eating the left over dog food we have for our dogs. Her mom took her to the doctor and the little girl had worms. I know that you can spread worms and its contagious . I dont want my son getting sick with worms how do I say go away or something but say it nicely. And I shouldnt have to tell her not to bring audrey over because if my son was sick I wouldnt bring him around other kids. Please Help!

Be honest. Tell her you are concerned about the worms and until she has been treated and is over them you would rather it not spread to your house as well. I would think if your child was sick in anyway you would do the same. This is your child's playmates mom. I would want everything between moms to be on a truthful level. It doesn't have to be said mean but don't lie. It sets up a wall with your communication with her. Also if treated one week is about the course of treatment. I would how ever keep an eye on your son and family for any signs in the mean time. Like itching at night you know where. Evita

How can you know the effects of worms when you talk so much bulls**t. Fact - worms are not contagious, you cannot catch worms by simply being near somebody with them. Fact - worms are spread through scratching the anus and not cleaning hands. The infestation is usually a cycle within an individual person. Fact - you can easily get worms from pets that are infested, through not washing hands after stroking them. Fact If the little girl had been eating your dogs food, that is the origin of her infestation. You should be ashamed of yourself for treating that little girl like a 17th century leper when she has got worms from your dogs. I hope her mother finds out the truth and sues you for not worming your dogs and putting her child's health at risk. If I were you, I would get your family to the Doctors and get some worm powder. Then again, if you can't afford a couple of dollars to worm your dogs, which should be done every 6 months, there's no chance of you buying worm powders for your family. As for your son, I wouldn't worry too much as his mammy is already sick. You are a nasty woman to attack a little girl that has not done any harm to you.

First, can you put the dog food out of sight, out of reach when she comes? If she is eating this, there is something wrong with what she gets at home to eat. Second, tell the mother straight out that so long as she has worms, which are contagious, that you don't want the girl coming to infect your son. Tell your son that she is sick right now and you don't want him around her. When she is better they can play again.

Okay. Here is what you do, you politely tell her, "hey, so-and-so, I know Audrey is sick and until she doesn't get better it's best you don't bring her around, I wouldn't want my son, so-and-so to get sick too. If he were sick I would have the same consideration towards Audrey and keep him away from her till he gets better..."
If she is a civil person then she will understand, being a mother I am sure she will.
Good luck.

Just stand your ground...it's your house, your child. We had a neighbor who had head lice and I just told the mom until *name* was lice free she should not come down because I didn't want my thee girls to get it. The mom was fine with it, kept *name* home and we had no problems. Just make sure you address mom on this issue and not the little girl, she won't understand why you don't want her to play with your son. Maybe in a week or two call the mom and ask how the little girl is doing and then set up a play date when she is feelng better!!
Your a good mom!! It's always better to be safe than sorry!!!

You have to be strong and tell her that Audrey needs to get well before she plays with your son . If she does not get the hint then you will have to tell her plain and simple ,audrey has worms and I dont want my son getting sick with them . If she gets offended oh well so be it at least you will know your son will not get sick from her . good luck .

ask her nicely to please not come over until her little girl is well again its only fair to you and your child and if she doesn't respect your wishes then get a little tougher with her you definitely dont want your child sick because of her not respecting your wishes
