Or is my DBro? Another Christmas and Covid one

[TiersDryOnTheirOwn]

I was going to see my parents for Xmas but changed my mind after the change in Christmas rules. They are in their 70s and DM has some health problems though not shielding. DBro still plans to go, but I don’t think he should as he is also seeing his in laws and their family first and then going to see our parents. If you’re sticking to the 3 households rule it’s going to be about 4 or 5 families altogether (although not at the same time). I don’t like to be one of those people who tell other people what to do but I don’t think my DPs are comfortable with it but don’t know what to say to DBro. Should I tell him not to go or AIBU?

It needs to be three households in total, not three households at once.

It sounds like your dbro is going to break the Christmas rules. He needs to choose his bubble and stick to it. Tell him.

That’s what I thought about the households. Thank you.

Your DPs need to be clear with him what they want. Encourage them to do that. It’s not up to you to police it, I’m afraid. You’re guessing at how they feel, and you might not be right.

They’d sort of said to me they were concerned but you’re right it’s not up to me so I will just tell them they have to make the decision either way.

I would remind them all the rules are three households max and if your DP aren’t happy they need to tell DB

👍🏻 Thanks Lawn.
