I am so upset with my husband’s family’s lack of judgement.
Every year for the last 3 years someone has been sick with something and they refuse to stay home. So I have either missed out to avoid illness or gotten sick.
I had plans after Christmas to celebrate Hanukkah with my dad and my 90yr old grandma. I wound up having to cancel on them last minute because I have a fever and a cough and I’m so congested it feels like my head is going to explode.
I am so upset. Not about being sick, but having to cancel on my grandma who is losing her memory more each day.
It sucks.
COVID taught everyone that people didn't care about getting other people sick. It was about being lions, and sticking out to the "man". Which happened to be a high schooler hostess at the restaurant asking for proof of being vaxed....
I’d much rather help keep my family and friends alive and well…
Eh.. who cares. People get sick all the time. That's how you build an immunity. I'm not staying home if I'm sick. Fuck that
Wow! Sounds like you have no regard for other people, especially those who are immunocompromised.
My dad is immunocompromised and my grandmother is 90. So yeah, if I’m sick, I’m not going to be around them and get them sick. I’d rather have them alive than dead, thank you very much.
There are 2 kinds of groups on the holidays: groups worried about getting someone sick and groups who will power through.
By now, you well know your inlaws.
It is up to you to either stop attending their holiday parties or attend with a mask and be careful, or go and risk making your family sick, or miss out on your family's get together.
You cannot control them, only yourself. We know what the pandemic was like.
