I (30f) have a 7 month old son. I may be a little paranoid of him getting sick but I feel like I'm also just being protective. I don't have my tin foil hat or keep him closed off but I try and do my best to help keep him healthy. It did kind of start to amplify when there was a measle outbreak in our area and I've just been extra cautious with my baby. But nothing crazy just home a little more and staying away from people at outings.

We have family dinners usually every other weekend with my husband, my mom (55f), her boyfriend, my brother and his wife and my niece and nephew. We skipped last week cause my nephew (2) was sick. On Tuesday they took him to the hospital and he tested positive for rsv. My mom went up there to be with him.

Later in the day she was talking about getting together for family dinner the following Saturday. I told her I wasn't sure if we would be going but if we did she wouldn't be able to hold our son. She got super angry and told me how dramatic I am and that everyone will get rsv because it's so contagious. I told her how rude she was being and we ended the conversation. My aunt has now called me and said I am being extremely mean to my mom for not letting her hold the baby and taking this too seriously and that babies need to get introduced to these to build immunity. I honestly feel like I need an outsider prospective am I the asshole??
