[quote=Anonymous]My siblings want to come visit. We haven’t seen them in probably 2 years. They are anti-vax. I have a health condition and young children (who are now vaccinated but weren’t before there were vaccines for kids, obviously). My kids are in daycare and public school. But we are still very cautious because of my health. When I get covid (and I know it’s a when), it’s likely to sideline me for quite a while, which will be very hard on our family. I am both the primary earner and do all the momming (because I’m the mom). I haven’t talked to my siblings about anything related to covid in two years but I know from earlier conversations that they aren’t vaccinated and aren’t willing to mask around us or limit their activities before they see us or anything, which has made me unwilling to see them. They have also lied to other family members about their vaccination status and other details, so I don’t trust them. They want to come up here to visit because they want to see the kids, which is nice of them, I guess. I’m not prepared to tell them they can’t come, because that would be the end of our family relationship. I assume they know they can’t stay with us? I need to write a text that says, “it’s so nice that you want to come see the kids. We are still being very cautious, so we will need to keep the visit outside. Is that going to work for you?” What’s the best way to phrase this so that I don’t piss them off but also so that they don’t come up here thinking they can just railroad us into an indoor unmasked visit by saying covid is over for the rest of the world etc etc?  I realize that. It’s not over for me. They don’t care.[/quote]
