I'm just wanting to gauge other people's opinions.
I'm unvaccinated on GP advice. I have a few underlying health issues, don't go out socially often, and multiple GPs in my surgery agreed that vaccination wasn't in my best interests, in part due to my low risk of catching anything.
My husband is fully vaccinated. He also has multiple health conditions.
Ever since Covid tests have been a thing, we've had a rule that anyone visiting, or anyone else we visit, must take a Covid test beforehand. If they don't agree, it's simple: the visit is cancelled.
The ONLY exception to this is my sister's toddler twins who are too young to understand. If they can't test, we accept it. If their dad is at home before a visit, he is usually able to test them. We aren't strict with them because we don't want to traumatise them, plus they don't like cuddles.
We also, if required, happily pay for and supply all tests.
The issue:
My sister and her five children will be at my mum's on Sunday for twins birthday party. Husband and I are going.
Sister tonight said that she will not be able to make DS2 and DS3 test because they don't want to. They are 6 and 9. They have always tested before and I know of no issues. They have clearly been told why they must test.
My mum is begging us to reconsider. I said the boys are old enough to be told to test, and for their mum to simply insist. But DSis thinks it's their right to refuse.
Am I being unreasonable in my unwavering stance that, if they don't test, our visit is off?
DH is adamant he won't go unless all 3 boys are tested.
How about Christmas?
