[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here with an update--I do not understand why so many posters think I am trolling. I assure you, it is not the case. I do support my DH. Told him to get on the plane/booked him the actual flight same day we found out parent was not going to make it past 24 hours. He is on the ground making funeral/memorial service arrangements and supporting his surviving parent. He is the only one from the immediate family that was able to come quickly, as we have flexible schedules for the next two weeks due to omicron. One sibling has medical issues and unable to travel until March and his other sibling is at home with COVID. I also don't understand why politics need to be brought into the picture. We're all are a healthy mixture of Republicans/Democrats/Independents and the whole extended family over the age of 5 is vaccinated/boosted.[/quote]

OP, I get it.  My grandmother passed away around thanksgiving at it was a similar situation in that we would have to travel and I have a 3yo who is all over the place.  I ended up just taking my 5yo who actually had a relationship with her pre-pandemic and leaving DH home with the 3yo.  My mom couldn't understand it but honestly it was the right thing to do- I trusted my 5yo to sit through a catholic service and he did, and he was able to have a role.  I was SAD and appreciated being able to sit there and hold my sister's hand and cry without worrying whether my toddler was about to strip and streak across the alter.  It also just made the travel logistics so much easier.  And this was pre-Omicron- personally I would not get on a plane with unvaccinated toddlers right now.  There are a lot of people who would not be planning a funeral at all right now.[/quote]
