Should I host Christmas later next week?

[Fedupofthis78]

Just tested positive for covid, as have the two kids, but not DH. I’m feeling awful, flulike aches, fever etc etc. I was supposed to be cooking Christmas dinner for the family (11 people) but that’s obviously off the table now. Plus I’m isolating upstairs with the kids while DH hangs out along downstairs.

My MIL has just sent a message telling me not to worry, we can freeze the turkey and I can cook for them all when I’m out of isolation in a week. No offer to go to the shops, didn’t ask how I was, or how the kids were. Just a comment that it would be a shame if FIL misses out on his turkey dinner.

AIBU to develop “long covid” and not be able to host until…maybe Easter?

Maybe FIL & MIL should cook and deliver your Christmas lunch - something like "meals on wheels"??

Otherwise the pair of them can bugger off, or choke on a bloody wishbone. Cheeky bastards.

My eldest son who lives on his own has been confirmed as having covid, test was yesterday. He was coming to us on Christmas Day for dinner but obviously can’t now. We are going to plate up a Christmas dinner for him and take it round as a meals on wheels. 😀

say this:

'too late MIL, naturally you'll be doing i now, at least thats what ive told everyone given all the times we've rallied round to help you. It's the only way FIL won't miss out. Im sure you understand'

I’m glad I wasn’t BU! I’ve started to make it clear that I won’t be doing the last minute bits. Have just reminded DH that he hasn’t bought his cousins kids their presents yet - he’ll be sorting that now then.

I would reply saying DH will be cooking it for your Xmas day. How bloody rude!
