[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here. I am fine doing outside visits at a substantial distance. She can drive up in front of the house and see them from the front porch. I do have a problem with them sitting near each other on a semi-enclosed porch (less than 3 ft apart) for 2 hours. My sister has shown repeatedly she can’t be trusted with the rules. She is constantly taking her mask on and off, it doesn’t fit properly, and she wants hugs and close contact. I have no problem with visits from a REAL distance but she won’t be happy with that.

Op, give her the option(s)/distance that you are comfortable with, and let her decline. Show you are willing to meet her halfway as long as the risks are minimal (much safer distance than allowed on the porch etc). Tell her no hugs and close contact.

If she refuses to see them at all from a distance that you are comfortable with, then tell her that you love her, and you hope that circumstances can change soon so that you can see her. Then suggest virtual meets. Make her feel like you want her to be part of their lives, but you are trying to keep them safe. Give hope/room for a relationship when Covid is over (or when she finally comes around -don't tell her this part).
