Seeing family on Mother's Day

[ritzbiscuits]

Don't think this one has been covered yet. Mother's Day next Sunday, I'm already thinking of cancelling a trip to see my mother. She's type 1 diabetic with kidney failure, so at high risk of getting a severe case of Coronavirus. She's already trying to self isolate as much as possible.

DHs mum has lung cancer and having immunotherapy. Really concerned about seeing her with both my NHS working husband and young grandchild next week. DH thinks I'm being over concerned and we should be catching up as usual.

Is anyone else thinking of changing their plans?

I think I'll make a decision last minute, elderly parent meant to be coming to me.l for Sunday lunch. If they are well and we are all well the probably will go ahead, but any sign of a cough or temp from anyone and I'll tell them to stay away

My DM was due to visit one of my siblings and their family. Not going now. They all seem fine at the moment but they've been out and about, school, socially etc and it would raise her exposure. Also driving up she might want to stop at services etc which would raise it more. She decided for herself not to go, it is sad but I think it is sensible.

FIL is T1. MIL is T3 with a dodgy thyroid. Both over 60. No. We will phone them.

Not seeing my parents 😢

What is it with some men? (And probably some women too) Why can't they grasp how serious this is?
My DH seems to think I'm overreacting and rolls his eyes if I even mention changing our plans and taking precautions.

Sure this fucking Global Pandemic is all in my head...

I've spoken to my DM.

She's asthmatic and she and DF are self isolating.

So no, I won't see her on Mother's Day, but that's the best present I can give her right now.

I'll call and speak to her and we have promised to share a over the phone.

Thanks for responses so far. I think I need to have another chat with my husband about it later!
