[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here. To clairfy, we were planning to hold it at my house. If it were at her house, well, then this would be easier. [/quote]

Well honestly that is super rude to be inviting other people to a Thanksgiving you're not even hosting. Like even in non covid times. I would just say, 'I don't feel comfortable hosting people outside of our POD, I hope you understand and I totally get it if you decide you would rather spend the day with your brother.'[/quote]

Kids aside, she’s asking to include other folks that you have no idea what they have been doing socially, and what their risk tolerance is.

The script above is perfect...but then what are you going to do after Thanksgiving?[/quote]

I'm also wondering if she felt okay asking because she and OP were planning the Thanksgiving together, so that, while OP was technically hosting at her house, it was really a joint endeavor.

I would add -- if she's already seeing her brother, I think the risk is already partially baked in.  [/quote]

I think she felt okay because she realizes that Thanksgiving is not a "kid holiday" (though OP is trying to steer it that way) and thought the other couple might be lonely. Thanksgiving with just two does get that way. [/quote]
