I would not see my Trump siblings until kids vaccinated or pandemic is over.

Flying? Don’t kid yourself. 1) kid is not wearing a mask all the time at airport and plane and could easily exposed to transmitted in a minute delta 2) “K95” for a 2 or 7? They don’t certify kids sizes, so that are just random masks shaped like KN95. They could be worse than nothing as they inhale random fibers from some knock off mask. Now if you can score legit kids KN94 AND they will wear it consistently, maybe that would be safer. But those are both long odds when flying. I mean if you are worried about kids and COVID, you shouldn’t be flying, and your unvaccinated sibling would be justified that they are not your highest risk.

This. Flying is even more packed than it used to be. And with the more frequent delays because of lack of staffing, I would say your bigger risk is the flights. You can be sanctimonious about your unvaxxed relatives but if your flight has a few hundred people in the waiting area and plane, that’s potentially a lot of exposure.

I just wouldn't go. Sorry, parents, the kids aren't vaccinated and I can't have them in a house or eating at a table with other unvaccinated people. Hope we can reschedule for next year or whenever it's safer.

If you choose to go and the kids get sick, it's because of your choices, not the unvaxed relatives choices since you know going into it. Which will you regret more, missing the trip, or having sick kids?

You can shut right up with your judgment of them. They’re being stupid by not getting vaccinated. YOU are being stupid by flying (WTF) to see people you know are unvaccinated (WTF).

Stay home, or STFU with your whining.

So…it’s totally unsafe to see unvaccinated adults at a vacation house, but it’s totally safe to sit surrounded by them in an airport and on an airplane?

Got it.

Everyone is vaccinated except 2 kids (age 2 and 7, my DS and my nephew), and DH’s brother and sister-in-law, who don’t have kids. We rented a house, we’re all coming from areas of low COVID, going to an area with low COVID. But we’re flying there. I’m just so angry at them. It feels selfish to put our littlest family members at risk. They’re trump people, maybe even Q-anon, so there was no talking to them about it. There’s no cancelling- this trip is too important to the grandparents. While I feel okay as possible with the safety (my DS is excellent about masks, we have k95 for the plane,) I can’t get over my anger. Not sure what I’m asking. Just having a hard time.

I'm angry you are traveling this late in the summer with school starting, including flying and then sending your kids back to school in person. Your kids aren't vaccinated so stop acting like you are better than they are when you are traveling with unvaccinated kids. As a democrat you are no better than a republican but keep telling yourself that. This is why covid is spreading and many of us cannot safely send our kids back to school. I am angry at people like you who are putting the rest of our kids at risk.

My brother is not vaccinated, but he tested before visiting. Maybe do that.

YOU are flying. Stop being judgmental.

You lost alllllll credibility when you said you are flying with an unvaccinated child.

Girl, bye. You’re as bad as them.

I would bail on this damn trip so fast.

Just send your husband without you or the kids.

I hear what you’re saying. But we now know that vaccinated individuals also spread to unvaccinated individuals. So yiu yursekf or granny could spread to your kids.

I’m keeping my unvaccinated kids away from unvaccinated family members (adults) until they can get the vaccine.

Long-planned vacation with people who don't vax
You back out. And you learn your lesson.
