We have been following all SD, masks, etc guidelines for staying safe so far. Sis in law doesn't take any precautions, travels, does not wear masks, posts on social media pics of her family & kids in travel spots without masks that are obviously taken by strangers. Her motto being "I am low risk." All this would be her business, but then DH insists on taking DC and spending weekends at her place. So tired of constantly revisiting socializing parameters with DH & his family. If you are in the same situation, WWYD?
Can your dc go with masks?
And btw, I don’t think this is SD or SIL trouble. I think this is marital trouble (not respecting wishes of spouse, etc).
DH doesnt allow wearing masks with his family
@Anonymous I agree, this pandemic has been very stressful on the marriage front, and there is no escape room either. Been a real challenge getting through the days with DH acting like a colossal jerk.
No, they will be mainly indoors in her apartment
Agree with PP that this is an issue between him and you not SIL. What does he say when you talk to him? Does he listen to your concerns? Have you made yourself perfectly clear where you stand?
Yes, I have. He is ultra enmeshed with his extended family and can't stay away even for a couple of weekends. Sadly, this pandemic has taken a lot from me. My job, my sanity and my family too. It is beyond stressful, but I guess one just needs to be stronger and march on.
@ Anonymous I'm so sorry to hear that. You shouldn’t have to shoulder everything on your own. I'm not sure how to make that clear to your DH.
@anonymous thank you for your kind words.
I read this as "South Dakota troubles." lol.
Same
I read it as standard definition troubles
Your family will be fine, and you could learn a thing or 2 from SIL.
Guess I can learn how to flout SD and mask wearing. More power to Covid.
Let's revisit this post next year, you'll see
I'm over this. People are being irresponsible and want to impose their choices on others. We met some friends yesterday who did not disclose prior that they had recently traveled, not being taking precautions etc and brought along their kid as well who has started going to school. The SIL is on a traveling spree too and is going away frequently and we are unable to even wait 14 days before socializing indoors with her. I just don't want to get sick, that is all.
