It’s hard to believe that this concept isn’t universally understood. Yes, I recognize that germs are omnipresent—in daycares, at sports events, on playgrounds, and even in our own homes. However, I have a serious issue when an adult consciously approaches my children while knowing they are ill.
It doesn’t matter who you are. I know you adore my kids—they’re absolutely adorable! Of course, you want to hug and shower them with affection, and the feeling is mutual. But here’s the catch: germs don’t discriminate. They attack my children’s vulnerable immune systems, which are still developing. Whether you’re a parent, grandparent, aunt, uncle, friend, or simply a friend of a friend, please refrain from getting close to my children when you’re feeling under the weather.
Your illness doesn’t concern me. Whether it’s “just a slight cough,” “a little sore throat,” or “probably not contagious,” what many fail to realize is that a minor ailment in an adult can devastate a baby or young child. Besides a humidifier and an aspirator, there’s little that can comfort an ailing infant. Even a seemingly harmless cough can lead to serious complications, risking hospitalization or worse for my little ones. So please, whether it’s a cough, sniffles, a sore throat, or something more severe, keep your distance when you’re sick.
Circumstances Don’t Matter
Maybe we had plans for a playdate, or you were invited to my child’s birthday celebration, or perhaps you were set to babysit. Regardless of the situation, I implore you to stay home! There will always be future opportunities to spend time with my kids, and I can easily arrange for a different babysitter. So, no matter the reason, please don’t come near my children when you’re not feeling well.
Show Some Respect
If we happen to cross paths, please honor my request when I say, “Don’t get too close to my kids.” I’m not being rude; I’m trying to protect them from whatever illness you may unknowingly be carrying. You might feel offended, walk away in a huff, or even voice your frustration, but don’t be that person. Just keep your distance.
Has this message resonated yet? I’m not naive; I understand germs are everywhere. This is about simple respect and common courtesy. If we have plans, kindly inform me if you or your child are feeling unwell—even if it seems minor—so I can decide whether or not to expose my kids to your sneezing toddler. I would do the same for you, and you can find more insights about home insemination at Cryobaby and BabyMaker, who specialize in this topic.

In summary, it’s imperative to prioritize the health of our children by maintaining distance from those who are sick, regardless of the situation.
