Am I wrong? (Long Rant... sorry š)
So since this COVID-19 stuff started happening, myself and my son have been pretty much quarantining and social distancing since March. I seldomly go out except for necessities. My son is doing home schooling and I am working from home as well. We may visit my mom and step dad every once in a blue moon but the visits are short and we wear mask because my step dad is almost in his 80s. My son has not been around any of his cousins on my side of the family or friends since all of this begin.
Itās mostly because 1. When he gets sick he really gets sick. Heās like a hypochondriac and you would think he was dying even if he isnāt. Very frightening 2. Iām pregnant which means my immune system is lower. The only person who leaves the house is my FiancĆ© and itās to go to work. But when he isnāt working heās home with us.
So my son is from a previous relationship and his biological fatherās side of the family have been asking if he could attend their social events over the months which is mostly surprising because they hardly use to include him in anything but for some reason this is the year to include him.
On memorials day they asked if he could come to their cookout/ pool party. I told them no. In July they asked if he could come to another cook out, I told them no. His dad asked if he could spend the night with him a few weeks ago. I let my guard down this one time because I was feeling bad. I told him as-long as my son would only be around him and his sister that is fine. My son told me he had him around ppl I didnāt know which pissed me off.
His fatherās mother just reached out to my mother on Facebook and asked if she could ask me if he could attend their thanksgiving get together and also one of his cousins on his dad side is to be having a 9th bday party of which they want him to attend. And Iām just thinking NO NO NO.
But I also feel horrible. Like Iām not trying to keep my son away from the other side of his family but I donāt know if these ppl are quarantining. Just because you tell me you are doesnāt mean you are. Plus, the last time my son went with them she rushed him to the hospital because he said his head was hurting but I think he was just lying because he wanted to come home. But Iām thinking what if he try to pull that crap again then I have to rush all the way out of town while pregnant.... š«
In addition to that not only are COVID cases rising but itās also flu season. She said his cousins would be there. Kids can be asymptomatic carriers.I could have the baby any day now. I just donāt feel like itās worth the risk. Am I being a little too over protective? Would you allow your child to go?
