[quote=Anonymous]My MIL and SIL and her family live 3 hours away. My DH wants to go to MIL's house for Xmas. We have gone round and round about it because I think we should stay home. She is high risk (65+ and obese). SHe is pretty careful about going out and about, and she rarely socializes. However, we'd stay at her house, which I think is just risky. His SIL and family are in public school/daycare/office, and while they believe they are careful, they aren't as careful as we are and it makes me nervous that they'll be exposed and then expose us. Their area is also a bigger city and has higher infection rates. DH's dad died this year, and I think that's part of the reason he just isn't wanting to cancel Xmas with his MIL.

I am just not sure what to do. I've said IF we go, we will see NO ONE except his MIL and his SIL and family, but I think even this is too risky. I also said that if hospitals are 60% fulll in either our destination city or in our city, we will not go.

I think it is irresponsible to travel. I think it puts his mom at risk. I think it puts us at risk. I think that if any of us got sick/had an accident/needed hospital care, we'd have a hard time getting it due to exhausted medical personnel and high occupancy rates. DH hears me but it isn't registering with him that these are actual risks.

I am not sure what to do? What to say? I don't want to refuse to go or refuse that our children go. Especially this year, since his dad died.
