My MIL and mother rotate watching my 2.5 year old son while I WFH and my husband works. My son has a rare genetic bone marrow disorder which leaves him immune compromised and unable to attend traditional daycare, plus he has a gtube. Daycare was never the plan though, Gramas rotating was always the plan.

My MIL (67) does NOT cover her mouth when she sneezes or coughs. It’s been a source of frustration for me for months, especially given she came over here sick, spread Covid & we all got it. My SIL says it’s just how she always been is stubborn about it. My husband is very passive but I’m reaching my breaking point about. I’ve asked him talk to talk her about it.

I’ve always had a great relationship with my MIL and I don’t want to seem ungrateful or rock the boat with her. It’s just frustrating, especially given how easily the common cold can turn into pneumonia for my son if his neutrophils are low. Soo am I the asshole for making my husband have his conversation with her?
