[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, it sounds like this has nothing to do with you and everything to do with your parents continuing to live their lives as they have throughout the last year.

To flip your narrative, it sound like you are expecting to be given preferential treatment because you were so virtuous during this time. [/quote]

OP here.  This is completely true. And yes, I guess I did expect to have priority once we could see them.  Until you put it this way, I didn't think it was wrong.  Considering they have seen both my sister and brother at least 2 times a month all year and our last outdoor visit with them was Christmas... I did think perhaps they would prioritize a visit with us.  But perhaps that was wrong.

And honestly, I think I haven't talked about it with her because I don't want to seem virtuous. I really am trying to respect the choices they made, my siblings made, and the decisions my family made, etc.  It was a tough year. Judging each other doesn't help.  But I miss my Mom and Dad and really want to see them- and I have been counting down those days until we could be in the same room and hug. And waiting 6 extra weeks sucks. [/quote]
