would you throw out one of your kid's bday presents because of potential germs??

I would tell them to fish it out of the trash so you could give it to a family that is not neurotic and would appreciate the gesture

Awful! At least donate it! Glad they got caught! I'd avoid those nuts! I wonder if they would throw out a card with money in it!

LizDP

I have a funny visual of D rubbing his arms and hands all over the gift while you laugh sinisterly... Freakin idiots!

That is f'd up. I'd be pissed and let the mom know it. They should not have accepted the gift then

You should have told them you had a hundred dollars in there! Then see how fast they dig it out of the trash. Absolutely absurd.

That is up there in the odd things I've read on the nest.  That is terrible.  They should have at LEAST donated it.  I'm sorry Cara.

That doesn't even make sense, I think they are ridiculous.

knittygrl

that is totally crazy!

I'm a big germaphobe but no way - thats insane!

Good Lord, that's nuts. Sorry they're over-the-top.

I agree with PP though.. I'd be more upset that my child knew and (if this person were a friend) that they didn't address their concerns with me before just pitching the gift.

that's taking it wayyyy too far.  Now i feel sorry for kids like me who grew up in the 70s and had to suffer through such a horrible disease.  *rolling eyes*  I can't believe i made it out alive.

Um....unless the monkeys in Outbreak were licking it then no....I wouldn't.  .

 Lol.  Yeah, I think throwing it out is silly.  It would never even occur to me.  Wishing your son a speedy recovery.

I have to share that when I first saw the title of this post, it was cut off.  I thought the question was "would you throw out one of your kid's bday presents because of poo".  That might be more worthy of debate, lol.  

 I can't imagine you writing poo in a post, Cara.  Seems like it would be out of character, but it did tickle my inner 6th grader (who comes out often these days).

It posts like this that confirm my normalcy.

Despicable people... Despicable actions.

BTW- Gabriel got chicken pox FROM the vaccine. And I got them again from him (even though I had them as a child).

They sound like snooty people to me! Ridiculous! I'm pretty laid back with Germs or sickness of children.
