What do you think I should do?

Asked by anniereborn (15511points) June 23rd, 2021

This is a continuation of my bug bite thread in a way. At least it is heavily related. My nephew is getting married in September. His fiance’s wedding shower is this upcoming Saturday. My sister is terrified I am going to bring bed bugs to it. I have told her everything I said in my other thread, and then some. It has now been several days without any bites.

She says she doesn’t know enough about bed bugs to know if it is safe and doesn’t have the time to research it. I have told her what I know from my extensive research. That I don’t think it is bed bugs. She tells me I should get someone in to look at my place before the shower. In TWO days?

Okay, so I am rambling, and yes I need to get this off my chest as much as I need advice. I feel like a total pariah! The widowed sister with the house of bugs. Stay far far away!

I told her tonite it was on her. That I have zero interest in going to this thing. That I am just going because I am one of the aunts. So if she really wants me to go…well, that’s her decision. She is major stressed.

Now to my question. Should I just tell her that I’m not coming in case I do have bed bugs? They will easily understand with Jeff having just died that I wouldn’t be up for coming to a bridal shower.
