Hubby has a week off work for half term. I’m not working currently. I’m really excited to spend time just the 4 of us. We live in a medium risk area and in the countryside so plenty to get up to safely and social distancing.
Mil and my mum want to see the kids. I understand this.
But neither have taken the virus seriously. I know we have to return to some kind of new normality but they both have so many social interactions outside of the workplace. Neither are following the rules. Mil always has someone in her house staying from other parts of the country. Two of her grown up children have recently been on holiday but not quarantined. My own mum had symptoms and shrugged it off with a bad cold and didn’t isolate as she didn’t want her hubby missing time off work.
Aibu to think sod seeing them? It’s up to them what they do of course. I can’t tell them what to do but for my own families safety I feel like I should stay away!
Neither are lonely and have a house full in their homes with their partners and grown up children.
We aren’t vulnerable but I want to minimise the risk of my family getting the virus. I don’t want my children getting it but I don’t want us getting it either. My son is disabled. I can’t bear the thought of getting seriously ill with covid.
Where we live has been no cases in the area or the school. But has been in the wider community.
I’ll be the bad guy for saying they can’t see the grandchildren! They have been seeing them at times but now the cases are rising and the weathers turning I feel so anxious about it all 😭
Aibu?
