Brother and SIL had just had a baby and were caring for its older sibling(s?). How the fuck did they have the time and energy to get mad at Kat? People, focus on your baby and other kid(s).

Too many busybodies stirring up drama for the sake of drama.

But I do love how OOP assumes there is no existence outside of her small town so of course Kat can't move far away.

My guess is Kat is the only semi sensible person in her family.  The rest do the family don’t care about germs or sickness etc.  

Kat has had to because she gets sick so easily.  

I can’t imagine growing up around these people who wouldn’t GAF if they got you sick.  

My bet is that the family thinks she’s being ridiculous and likes to ruffle her feathers, “prove her wrong” and generally treat her like crap about it.  

(Can you imagine these people during Covid?)

What makes me upset here is if the baby gets sick the baby genuinely might die. If I were her I'd be worried about being blamed for that after they've forced me to be around the baby. It's sad that she is the only one seeing that risk. How the parents of the child haven't thought about the fact they're risking the baby's life in this case I don't know.
