Stepmother called the day we got home from Vietnam not to say welcome home but to uninvite us to a family birthday party because DS needed to see a doctor to make sure he wouldn't make any of the other children at the party sick. Like I snuck foreign produce home in my bag or brought an unquarantined dog into the country. Really super nice welcome home. We were absolutely exhausted and had to deal with that. I cried for days. She still hasn't apologized and seems to be carefully avoiding conversation with DH and I. Mind you the sickest DD has ever been was from a bug she caught from stepmother's grandchildren.
