[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, is your young child at home, all day, everyday? No preschool? No daycare? [b]He doesn't do any playdates (indoors or outdoors) with other children?[/b] Unless you, your DH, and your child do not leave the house, you are being exposed to unvaccinated people.

I do hope your little one is having playtime with his other unvaccinated little friends. You simply cannot know the vaccine status of their parents.[/quote]

Did you even read the OP?[/quote]

All she mentioned was going to the park on occasion. I hope this isn’t the kids only interaction with the outside work for the last 2 years :shock: [/quote]

OP here -

My son doesn’t have a bunch of friends - I don’t have any mom friends my with kids my age.

We go to MOPs x2/month and my chapter requires vaccine cards. We sometimes do drop in gymnastics and did have soccer. All required masks (which my son sort of wore) and vaccine cards too. He will be starting preschool in September.

Im not sure PP what your expectation is regarding socialization for young children during the last two years of the pandemic - there was very few opportunities and most activités we registered for were cancelled or on hold for several months. 
[b]
Please don’t try and tell me there’s worse outcomes for children who don’t socialize versus catching COVID.. My son was very sick in September with a COVID-like illness and it was awful. I have zero desire to repeat that.[/b] [/quote]

New poster. Not going to read so many pages. Hit this from OP and I"m done.

OP, you YOURSELF say your son was very sick and you don't want a repeat. Despite myths about how "Covid isn't bad for kids," well, tell that to the families of kids who have indeed gotten very sick from Covid. You can look it up.

So please listen to your own post and do not put your child in a situation where exposure is possibly, even probably, going to happen. Namely, seeing your relatives and their kids. This. Is. Not. Hard.

Your concern was "what do I tell my sister?" Tell her that you do not want your child to get Covid, and that even if your child gets it and the case is mild or asymptomatic, your child could give it to your husband who is medically more susceptible to a very bad outcome. Read that again. You are putting your sister, whom you yourself described earlier as "dense" (!!) AHEAD OF YOUR OWN HUSBAND's HEALTH and possibly his life.

Why are you choosing your dense sibling ahead of your husband's health? Have you read about "long Covid," OP? Or about how the latest variant can break through vaccines and still sicken some people, including vulnerable people like your husband?

Plus, again -- you yourself mention that you are less concerned about all the "kids must be socialized" stuff than about the idea of your child being sick. You are right on that score so why are you failing to follow your own good instinct on that part of this problem? Tell anyone who makes the "socialization" argument that you put health and life, for both your child and your medically susceptible husband, ahead of panicky talk about socializing kids during a pandemic. Find vaxxed families and have outdoor playdates with their kids if you must. Right now toddler vaccines are very close to reality too. But most of all, show you care about your husband. Sure, he doesn't like your family but you don't seem in love with them either. Zoom, FaceTime, be upbeat but do not talk about pandemic or visits. If sister can't deal? Too bad. [/quote]
