[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]One of DH’s parents passed away this weekend. All folks married into the family were expecting this, it was just a matter of time. The siblings and surviving parent are in shock and blaming themselves for not being able to save the other parent. There is not much that could be done after MOF diagnosis. Now the family wants everyone at the funeral. I told my husband that he needs to go and me and the kids (two three year old toddlers) will stay home and watch service online. I mean I will watch it online. We just got back last week after being there for two weeks and my little guys are exhausted and just drained[b]. How can you explain to a spouse that taking toddlers to a funeral is not age appropriate and we probably should not be there due to COVID? [/b]No darts please.[/quote]

1. Your H is also their parent and has every right to make decisions about what is/isn’t appropriate for his kids. Not everyone thinks funerals are inappropriate, I’ve taken DD to them since she was 1yo and she was never traumatized.

2. The COVID excuse doesn’t really fly since you were literally just there. How come it was okay to travel last week but now it’s suddenly dangerous?[/quote]
