Has anyone experienced this?

Question

My husbands family believes that covid isn't real. They have large gatherings in public, outside, inside, birthday parties, anniversary celebrations, holidays, etc. We have a 3 year old and I'm 15 weeks pregnant. My husband worries about socialization for our 3 year old and how important it is but for me, I find it inconsiderate that we have to always feel consistently guilty for not attending these get togethers. I'm so upset that this continues. Has anyone experienced this and what would you do? We are on a waiting list for vaccines but its been 2.5 months since we registered and nothing so far. The cvs near us wont offer it and neither do our doctors. We are stuck at home feeling extreme guilt. I can't do this shit anymore.

Answer

It’s what’s best for your kids. Covid isn’t fake news🙄. I wouldn’t feel guilty.

Answer

Honestly this might sound harsh but f$&k em. If they don’t believe in it that’s cool, if they don’t want to at least respect your concerns and being safe for you and your children there is no reason to be around them or feel guilty about being around them. It’s no joke, yeah the survival rate is good but how ppl are surviving is hard. My dad, grandma, grandpa, aunt and my brother all got covid. My grandpa died in the hospital alone. My dad, brother and grandma have long hauler symptoms. It sucks.

Answer

My dad doesn’t believe in COVID. He does gatherings at his house. He always asks me to visit and I decline because I don’t know where him and his guests have been. I wore a mask last time I saw him and he told me to take it off and how bullshit the virus was. I’m standing my ground about it. You shouldn’t feel forced to do stuff you don’t want to. Try compromising with your husband. I’m sure your 3 year old will be okay with not socializing during these times...maybe set up a social distance gathering with limited people you actually feel comfortable around / have similar mindset about covid.

Answer

I've worked with covid,  I've seen it take ppls lives. It's not a game and it's not a fun way to die. They die slowly and alone. Don't feel guilty for protecting your family.

Answer

So just don't feel guilty. You don't HAVE to feel guilty. You are being smart and keeping your family safe. They should feel guilty for putting so many people at risk.

Answer

My SO’s mom is the same way and thinks she’ll be kissing all over our newborn 😬 I told my SO it’s not happening. I’d rather feel guilty than anything happen to my baby !

Answer

Well to each is own. You don’t have to go and you don’t have to feel guilty over that.
