Answer #1

she’ll probably be a little upset because if she needs your help she needs it for a reason but I’m sure she would get over it soon; she can’t be mad at you forever.

Answer #2

I mean she could but I would definently understand if you didn’t want to get sick. Especially for exams.

Answer #3

She should understand why, you have a legit reason and that’s something you for sure don’t wanna get sick for. Or if it’s like food and stuff pick up the stuff for them and leave it outside by the door and just ring the doorbell that it’s there and leave. So you won’t come into contact with them.

Answer #4

I could see why she’d be mad. You don’t always have to touch them to get sick though. The germs could be all over your house. I have 7 people in my family, and never spend much time with them; meanwhile, i always get sick when they are. It’s contact through kitchen items, bathroom, anything they touch then you do. :) Hope i helpped.

Answer #5

Just apologize it’s that simple.

Answer #6

“Can” she? Of course she can … I think the real question is “should” she? From a mother’s perspective, I don’t expect my children to care for me when I’m sick. I’m the adult, and I’m the one responsible for taking care of them when they are sick. I was a child once, and my mother took care of me … now it’s my turn to be tough. While I do expect my kids to help out a bit more around the house when I’m unwell, I don’t place expectations on them that would essentially turn them into my care-givers … especially if my condition is contagious.
