To spend Christmas with in laws ? Are we selfish if we do ?

[questiontime100]

We are a family of three. DH, DD (1 ) and I.

We see my in-laws and their adult children who live at home and work from home occasionally. So they're kind of in our support bubble. MIL has been in hospital due to an operation but got out yesterday.

Would you spend Christmas with them and stay at their house ?

You really do need to do some critiquing of the scientific and medical evidence. Honestly. It’ll help you look not quite so thick when you’re ranting on FB

Oh the irony of someone calling me thick who doesn't understand the difference between MN and FB

Also, the irony of someone saying "I need to critique scientific and medical evidence" when I haven't so much as mentioned it. I mentioned the government response (which actually defies medical and scientific advice). Bless, you really think you're clever don't you? Word of advice - being rude and clever are two different things.

Have a Baileys and chill Glummy

It’s Christmas and you’re sounding a tad deranged now

@Retiremental oh, huge yawn at woman not tolerating BS and bullies as being described as "deranged". Boring!

Seriously, some of you need to have a word with yourselves. Perhaps watch this video and listen to the words very carefully

What you’ve suggested would be within the rules, and if you see the household on a regular basis already then the risk will be similar. If you want to be extra cautious about it, you should minimise your contact with anyone from outside your own household as much as possible in advance of your visit, and think about whether you really need to stay over... but yes, in your situation I would go, and try very hard to maintain distance/hand washing etc once there (as you mention the recent hospital stay which is a new risk factor in the mix).

[quote GlummyMcGlummerson]@gamerchick can you blame the OP for flouncing?! People have called her names, tried to catch her out in a lie (she hasn't lied) - when she hasn't actually done anything wrong, or even suggested breaking the rules. A classic case of a revolting pile on.[/quote]
The OP came on to set up her flounce to me. Just leave if you want to leave.

It’s tricky as everyone’s circumstances are so different. I think because your dc is so young, it probably would be ok, particularly as you are wfh. The reason we decided against was the kids being at school which isn’t a factor for you. This has to be your decision as only you know your personal circumstances, I don’t think anyone else is able to call it.

You've misread those support bubble guidelines. You need to have a child under 1 AND be a single adult household

Do it

That's not correct.

These are the rules as of 2 December.
