To think SIL a CF

Sending her kids to MIL today and plans to for the rest of this week so she can work from home.
Clearly doesn’t give a faff about the rules. PILs are late 60s.
Her job isn’t related to fighting COVID, her husband is key worker though so going out to work.
Really annoying me.

YA clearly NBU but this isn’t your fight to fight. Your MIL needs to say no.

CleverclogsEdmondElephant · 24/03/2020 20:11

Yes I know. Your right. Just boils my piddle and I wanted to vent.

Yes, while some people are sacrificing a lot to be extra careful for the sake of older/ at risk people, others seem to still be living in a selfish bubble. It's annoying and unfair. YANBU

My SIL doesn’t think all of the rules apply to her either. She’s still visiting MIL and took her to her daughter’s on Mother’s Day for tea.
Annoys me so much!!

Are PILs self isolating besides from this?

**Are PILs self isolating besides from this?
Makes no difference
The instructions were perfectly clear
Do not go to other people's houses. At. All.

Tell her to listen to chapter 8 of The Stand on YT to see how easily this virus can spread and how dangerous it could be to your PIL. Not that it would likely make her listen. Some people are just CF and think the rules don't apply to them.

YANBU though. Vent away!

Does anyone ever get on with their SIL?

Cunninglittlevixen · 24/03/2020 22:44

Pil are just as idiotic to say yes

All your DP can do is mention the lock down rules to his parents. A lot of people aren’t behaving logically at the moment
