[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I haven’t read all the pages, but if DH is not at greater risk for covid, and it’s about his stamina, can’t you still have the cousins at the grandparents’ house? Your DH can still focus on your kids in the morning and retire to the bedroom as needed. [/quote]

This would seem to be the logical solution but apparently OP feels it unfair that he should have to be relegated to the bedroom if he wants to escape the noise.[/quote]

Op, I’m really sorry that you are in this situation. It must be really tough for you, your dh and your kids. But it also must be pretty awful for his parents to see him so sick and for his siblings to not understand the situation. His parents likely need the support of their other kids. I can’t quite follow all the variations of the plans but if there is a way for everyone to sleep over and for you and dh to also stay at the house so you can see your kids Christmas Eve and morning, that sounds ideal. Also, if his sister spends more time with her brother, she will see how much you have to do and how hard it is for your dh. In terms of your dh resting, if he goes to his room, can you put on a white noise app to drown out the sound or ask everyone to go outside for awhile? In terms of meals, can you do something simple like go to Costco and buy prepared dishes that you just have to heat up or get Chinese food or something Christmas Eve? I totally understand how protective you are of your dh but the in-laws likely want to have the sleepover (which is why they aren’t backing you up). Good luck - I can sense from your posts that you are really on edge - maybe once they all see the situation in person you will get more support.
