Is it rude to ask my BIL not to come over for a bbq? I am 3 months pregnant and BIL is Panamanian and my sister mentioned that he traveled there recently to visit his brother. I am afraid he could have zika now. My sister is fine with disinviting him because she doesn't even like him all that much but she says there is nothing to worry about because he doesn't have zika.

This. Don't have sex with him or share blood. You will be A-OK.

Your sister doesn't like her husband all that much? LOL. So why is she married to him? If your sister says it's fine to disinvite him then do so.

op: I think his Latin Americanness just grates on her. They have young kids. I have never met another person who talks as much and as loud as he does! But he is ok in small doses.

np: It sounds like you don't want to invite him because he is obnoxious and you are using zika/pregnancy as a cover.

You and your sister sound like horrible people. Unless you plan on sleeping with him to close out the BBQ then you're fine.

If you're going to disinvite him, you have to disinvite your sister too. He could have given her zika since he got back.

Good plan. Enjoy the next six months of pregnancy without seeing your sister.

I'm not necessarily endorsing op but Zika only causes microcephaly in early in pregnancy

I think it's rude. If he doesn't have zika you can't get zika from him. It's already in the US mosquito population, that's where you are going to get it from.

Your house your rules. If you don't want dirty spics at your bbq then don't have them.

op: Yeah, but he is Latin American and according to my sister he is offended over everything so this is not going to make much difference. My main concern is being respectful to my sister and not appearing rude to others.

Because, you know, he's latin, and Panamanian and is loud and must have zika. This post is ridiculous.

Don't agonize over how you may appear to others. You've gotten a greenlight from your sister to invite and disinvite as you please. I don't even know what you are asking. Tell him to stay away.

You should be fine, but just to be on the safe side you should avoid having unprotected sex with him and cancel the pre-dinner interfamily blood transfusion. Also, make sure when you guys are shooting heroin after dessert that you don't share needles.
