I’ll probably get told this is nothing to do with me, it’s not really but I’m posting on behalf of my husband who’s stuck in the middle.
Basically we live in Cornwall - tier 1.
My mil lives nearby with her husband (their stepdad) and 2 their grown up children. Mil’s husband is particularly vulnerable to covid and is extremely anxious and catching the virus. He’s still working but his job is pretty low risk. He feels safer at work than he does at home.
There’s an issue with the oldest child at home. She’s old enough to know better (late 20’s). She hasn’t taken covid seriously at all, even through lockdown. Socialising, travel, parties, you name it. She hasn’t cared that her stepfather is at risk. They don’t get on that well.
This week she has travelled to a tier 2 area and having dinner with friends in a restaurant and staying at someone’s house. . Is that even allowed in tier 2. Thought you could only visit places with those you live with? So I guess she’s claimed she lives with said friends or something. 🤷♀️
Aibu to think she needs to buck up or move out? Husband is stuck in the middle. He gets on with his sister but gets on well with his stepdad too. His sister and stepdad are always at each other’s throats. Mil turns a blind eye and let’s her get on with it. I guess they can’t control what she does at her age but surely if she’s putting someone at risk she should move out? She’s lived on her own before but moved back.
I feel for my husbands stepdad. I know this
Isn’t my issue but posting for advice for my husband who’s stuck in the middle of this family
mess. There’s a lot it tension over there at the minute I think. Stepdad shutting himself away in his bedroom because they don’t take it seriously. Even the other child isn’t much better! Didn’t isolate on return after going abroad shortly before lockdown.
I don’t really want to see them at Christmas with all the tension. Plus I feel like they could put us at risk of covid too. Sure they will be mixing with a lot of people leading up to Christmas!
Advice? Sorry it’s a bit long!
