for being annoyed at my in-laws carelessness?!

[ims0rrydarlingg]

My husband has had covid like symptoms since Monday so has been at home, off from work. He did work from home on Tuesday but called in sick since yesterday as his symptoms worsened. I have no visible symptoms but we have both done a test and are waiting for results.

I last saw his family on the 31st and he last saw them on the 3rd. We have been a support bubble with them. 6 of them in one household and then my Husband and I.

His Mum mentioned symptoms to me yesterday.

Other family members in that household have symptoms but no one is getting a test done. Okay, whatever.

I’m annoyed because his family have said to him to still come over and see them as everyone has the symptoms so it’s okay.

I’m not a firm favourite of theirs anyway so they’ll probably say I’m preventing him from seeing his family and using a ‘cold’ as an excuse. Yawn.

I don't think OP will be back.

Families like yours are part of the massive problem we face and you're enabling it.

^ This.

OP I was quite harsh in my previous post. Many others are too. Understandable. But at least you recognise that there is an issue. This is the time to step up and do the right thing. Otherwise not only are you risking your health, you are breaking the law.

Bohemiagirl........ No, you were not harsh at all in your previous post. Everything you said was spot on. OP's family's actions are absolutely part of the problem - breaking the rules, causing the virus to spread, and using culture as justification. So selfish.

I wish people would stop calling it a bubble when it isn’t nothing to do with that. You are not in a bubble with them, they are just breaking the law, as are you when you let them into your home.

I know families can be difficult and being a different culture may add to that, but you can’t allow family awkwardness to make you break the law.
