Oh my man I can't even.

First. I'm glad your husband is recovering and I hope everything goes smoothly.

Second. You did a fantastic job of standing up to his family who shouldn't have been visiting at all if they were so indifferent to his health. Has he woken up/been informed of their visit/attempt to contaminate?

Third. Fuck those people. The 8 year old for being a brat (I would never have behaved like that at 8), the mom for being a bitch that would rather risk her brother dying than say "no" to her kid, and the MIL (mom, not MIL) for acting like it wasn't their behavior that was the issue but your's.

I hope your husband's recovery goes smoothly :)

Edit: misread your post; it seems like your MIL wasn't there Oops

Thanks, he's doing well right now, doctors think he has good chances of speedy recovery. He knew his sister was coming, he didn't know about his niece coming too.

Good for you guys.

Honestly depending on his state when they visited, bringing a young kid doesn't seem like a good idea even if they do follow the rules. I know my mom was very hesitant to bring my siblings and I to visit a relative in the hospital because we were young; the relative was hooked up to a lot of stuff, had a mask, could barely talk, etc. If an 8 year old was having a fit over the smell of medically required items she probably wouldn't have reacted well to seeing her uncle hooked up to equipment and stuff.

Oh wow. She's insane.

Kids are bags of germs and their parents are infected with viruses 85% of the year.

„ She’s just a little child, what virus could she possibly have?”

Hahahaha

At the end of the day you did the right thing for standing up to her. And when he recovers, I hope your husband tells her sister that her behavior toward you was rude and unacceptable. He has to take your side on this for you might forever be the bad one with this incident.

Clearly the mother has never been around children en masse. Children chat harbingers of disease.

The apathy OP's SIL showed about her own brother is ridiculous. He could literally catch something and die from the child, and it's OP's fault because the hospital garb was "yucky?" Fuck that shit with a rusty wrought iron dildo.

There is also vomit, drool, urine and green runny snot. That's what little kids are made of.

When I was 8, my mom was in the ICU after complications after her hysterectomy. You bet your ass I sucked it up and put that robe on, hospital smell or no.

Went to visit my mom in quarantine just a couple years older than that and you better believe i also sucked it up and put all that stuff on. Girl sounds like a product of her raising unfortunately

[–]Not2originalHello money, what kind of shenanigans should we get into today? 16 ポイント17 ポイント  (0子コメント)

I would have dismissed them both. Especially after the "bitch" comment.

"Ya know now that you mention it you can leave if your going to be disrespectful to me and unconcerned with my recovering husbands health. He'll can come visit you after he's been released from the hospital and is feeling well enough to travel on his own. Get out."

[–]deegee21deegee21 53/M/USA 12 ポイント13 ポイント  (2子コメント)

I commend you for standing up to them and not caving. I know you wrote how the nurse gave them the robes to wear but might it have helped to have the nurse or a doctor explain in a firm manner why this needs to be done, essentially putting the enforcement burden more on them instead of on you?

[–]KristinaMeowns[S] 20 ポイント21 ポイント  (1子コメント)

Probably. I guess I underestimated her mind capacity. I thought that the importance of protecting someone who's immune system is quite low now is not something that should be explained twice to an adult.

[–]erl_queen 1 ポイント2 ポイント  (0子コメント)

It terrifies me how utterly ignorant some people are of basic science, and moreover how unwilling they are to rely on the expertise of those more educated. Like, even if you don't understand why, at least understand that doctors know more than you about this stuff. Wow. Good for you for standing your ground, this is life and death, far more important than her hurt feelings.

[–]luminiia 11 ポイント12 ポイント  (0子コメント)

The kid might not have anything, but I guarantee you someone At that hospital has MRSA, c. Diff., influenza , VRE.... those germs are fucking everywhere and kids love touching shit with their grimey hands. Good for you for protecting your husband.

What an arrogant, willfully ignorant person she is. Good on you for protecting your husband. Children are walking petri dishes.

[–]dannydaleNot even if I _wasn't_ gay... 7 ポイント8 ポイント  (0子コメント)

Tell his sister it's obvious she doesn't love her brother as much as she hates telling that BRAT no. Furthermore, her mental health is apparently very lacking.

After all, if she's willing to kill her own brother to avoid telling that stupid 8-year-old tyrant no...

[–]RestingMurderFace 7 ポイント8 ポイント  (0子コメント)

What a bitch! I hope you told your husband what happened.

[–]89W27/M/UK 13 ポイント14 ポイント  (0子コメント)

Respect for standing your ground, and shame on that awful cunt for not considering her brother's health important enough to trouble her daughter to wear a surgical robe for what, a couple of minutes?

Oh, and fuck that rude little brat. I'd expect an apology from them before they came round my house again. I expect your husband will see it that way too.

[–]zimmt 5 ポイント6 ポイント  (0子コメント)

I'm glad you stood your ground and wish your husband a smooth recovery

[–]BetterToBeAShark 5 ポイント6 ポイント  (0子コメント)

Well done for standing your ground and best wishes to your husband in his recovery.

Things may have changed (a long time ago and a different country!), but a relative of mine had a transplant operation some years ago and no children under the age of 12 were allowed in the room, as I remember. Adults had to be gloved, robed and masked.

[–]darkempress200331/UK/Flair Work in Progress 4 ポイント5 ポイント  (0子コメント)

You were way kinder than I could ever have been. I do hope your husband makes a very speedy recovery and Merry Christmas to you both.

[–]stickkim 3 ポイント4 ポイント  (0子コメント)

Seriously, children are little cesspools of disease everyone knows that. An infection after surgery is a huge huge deal, in fact I believe it's the leading cause of death in hospitals...I could've just made that up, but I know for sure it's near the top of the list.

Good for you for protecting your husband, and fuck that woman for not seeing the need to keep her brother safe.

[–]fun_with_robots 2 ポイント3 ポイント  (0子コメント)

Wait. Your husband just had a fucking liver transplant and your entitled mombie of a SIL called you a bitch for wanting her little disease bag to wear scrubs?

Your husband is lucky to have you watching out for him, as it appears the other women in his family are too busy thinking about themselves to worry about his health.

[–]toriennetorienne (58F/sterilized/married) 6 ポイント7 ポイント  (0子コメント)

You did the only possible thing. Absofuckinglutely.

Now you need to remove this woman from your lives, because she was willing to kill her brother in order to indulge her rotten, whining, mediocre little DNA replicant, and that's not someone you want to be around.

That kid sounds like a spoiled little monster. She's only going to get worse with that kind of enablement.

[–]Beanessa 2 ポイント3 ポイント  (1子コメント)

At eight years old she's throwing a tantrum over putting something on over her clothes? Does she have ASD? If not, that's quite out of the norm developmentally...

[–]KristinaMeowns[S] 2 ポイント3 ポイント  (0子コメント)

She's just very spoiled. Every time she wants or doesn't want something she does something like this and usually her parents give in to please her. It's their form of "love", I guess.

What a bitch! You did good. Next time, get a nurse when she refuses. The nurse can kick them out and ban them for refusal to follow the rules that keep him alive.

Wow, I'm sorry you had to deal with that! I'm in a really good mood today and that made my blood temporarily boil. I commend you for standing your ground and keeping your cool at the 'bitch' comment.

You would think a close family member would have your husbands best interests at heart in a time like that and not the minor inconvenience of a brat
