The MiL also keeps two of our preschool age nephews along with Grace. They love her, so normally it is not a problem.
Today?
Problem.
My husband ate lunch at the MiL's house while I had errands to run. While he was there, his sister called. She had a sick child (she has three in total) and planned to bring him by. J immediately objected. Since Grace was a preemie, we have to be extra-careful about her immune system and exposing her to sickness."Oh, I'll keep him away. He'll be in the other room and they will not have any contact with each other."
I would have fled with my child in tow. But J is much more vulnerable. He does not question the MiL. He let her stay.
At 4:30, when J went to pick up Grace, he found not only a sick child, but also his sister - who by now was also sick - lying around at the MiL's too!
Objection! She should have called! Two sick people in the house! We would have picked her up!If Grace gets sick, I plan to start a war.
Am I overreacting? Honestly I don't care. I would rather err on the side of caution.

Are you kidding? You are not overreacting in the least. I have similar issues with my husband's family from time to time. If they could hear my thoughts, they would know that I am shouting, "where is your brain?" inside my head.
I hope Grace does not get sick.
