Frustrated and resentful they're meeting up

[CC2021]

DH and I avoided family on christmas day. When we made the plans, 3 households were able to mix. However we live in wales and the week before Christmas rules were changed to only allow 2 households. Since my parents were seeing my sibling too, we decided not to go - despite them still wanting us to. We haven't seen them since early december as we are trying to be safe and stick to the rules. No indoor meetings are allowed, yet today they've met up again because they're "willing to risk being fined".

I feel really resentful and frustrated as I miss them but they're just ignoring the rules! Makes me wonder why I bother - although I do bother because I don't want to risk catching it / passing it onto my family/ passing it onto someone else! My sibling has been disregarding the rules from the off and parents are clinically vulnerable so I'm finding it all really frustrating!

I can understand your frustration OP but all you can really do is be in control of your own behaviour and carry on being careful as you are.

There’s nothing really you can go except fo tho gs the day you want up and leave them to it. They’re adults and these are the decisions they have made. No point getting upset about things you can’t change or control. I have family members who choose to smoke, at home in front of their children. I have family members who feed their children nothing but processed junk, setting them up for a life of obesity and heart disease later on. What can I do? Absolutely nothing.
