[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here is what I would do:
You and your mom go to the wedding.

Kids and DH go to visit his parents.

You all meet back up at home, test before seeing each other.

Problem solved. You can keep attention on making sure your mom can see all the family members she wishes without nagging from the kids or your DH being angry. [/quote]

OP here. I plan to go as does my mom. Our children want to go and I plan on bringing them. The issue is 1) unvaccinated sibling, who is not a Trumper but won’t get vaccinated for a variety of reasons; none of them valid; and )DH, who may not go, leaving me to travel with a 9 and 12 year old as well as my 87 year old mother who will likely need wheelchair assistance at the airport. Getting her back after is not an issue; my sister and BIL will take care of that. It’s just that we planned to go to my ILs afterward and DH doesn’t want that so kids would miss out on annual visit. We’re looking at other times for that, but work obligations are making it hard.[/quote]

OP here - here’s the thing. My children haven’t seen my mom in a couple of years due to the pandemic. My mom is excited to see all of her grandchildren at the wedding together, citing that it may be the last time she has that opportunity. She may not make the “next” wedding.

PP again - I think most of this info was stated earlier in the thread. I’m just suggesting you not have the kids go to the wedding, but instead go visit your in laws. It gives you space to focus on getting your mom there and around, it gives them time with their other grandparents, and your DH won’t be concerned about exposing his parents after you are near your unvaxxed sib. Just tell the kids they can go to the next wedding. That way you don’t lose the perfect week for them to visit your ILs, don’t have to eat the cost of camps you already paid for, and everyone is happy. [/quote][/quote]
