“Setting boundaries with external family”

My family members are upset with me after I asked them to avoid my kids and mom when they're sick.

What I wish I knew
"That setting boundaries wouldn't lead to such strong reactions"
If I could tell you one thing
"Communicate boundaries clearly and respectfully"
