[quote=Anonymous]So, my nephew is getting married later in the summer 2022 in another state.  My sister (mother of nephew) discussed me assisting my traveling with our mother by plane.  Mom is in her 80s and has mobility issues, so I readily accepted the responsibility and am committed to doing that.

The wedding will be outdoors, as well as the reception, but there may be times where I am indoors with close relatives.  Another sibling is not vaccinated.  I have no idea what this pandemic will look like later this summer, or what protocols my nephew and his fiance will implement (if any).  We had planned on going to visit DH's parents after the wedding, but now DH is saying he doesn't want to go to the wedding if my sibling is not vaccinated, and he doesn't want me or our kids going to his parents afterwards due to possible exposure, as they are in their 80s as well.  We've discussed rescheduling the visit with them for another week, but everything else this summer is booked with camp obligations or work. DH also can't believe I would put my own mother in possible jeopardy by having her near the unvaccinated sibling for long periods of time over that weekend.

I haven't discussed this with my sister yet, but am not sure what to do.  At the very least, I plan to go with my mom and children, but DH feels I would be depriving them time with their other grandparents for their annual visit.  I understand his concerns, and am furious with the sibling who won't get vaccinated, but feel like he is putting more pressure on me by possibly juggling my mom and children simultaneously. My kids are excited about the wedding (their first!) and would be devastated to miss it.
