I haven't replied for a couple reasons...

The first, I don't feel comfortable making judgements about someone when they are not here to defend themselves. The truth is that in general when we feel we have been wronged by someone, we can sometimes retell the story of it in such a way as to support our own side, and not be general enough to give an entirely accurate reflection of what occurred. I'm not saying this is altogether an unusual thing to do. I am guilty of it myself. Thus, I don't like coming into a thread saying the other party was wrong, as I don't feel u have all the facts.

I also figured my opinion would be quite unpopular. However... If you are Ok with my honesty, here it is...

If I am to go just by what you posted, most especially after reading the message you sent between the two of you, I would say I definitely see both sides of this disagreement. While I understand you felt you were making the best decision for your family, and I respect that, I also understand her side too; and the bind she was put in to only find out you wouldn't take your niece when she showed up at your door. It's as last minute notice as you can get.

Leaving a sick child with a family member does not make someone a bad parent. Kids get sick all the time. They also get EXPOSED all the time. Their immune systems are still developing, and being children, they are not used to performing the necessary measures we as adults are used to to prevent illness. So they get sick. A LOT. O guess my point is that it's not the end of the world. Now, had she had a dangerously high fever or needed to go to the hospital I would say ENTIRELY differently. That is a different scenario.

I realize you made the decision you thought was right for your family, and that is fine and your right. I hope you can heal the relationship with your sister, because it truly sounds to me like this is one where both sides could have done a little better.
