[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Is OP asking DCUM what her husband wants?

[b]Everyone is different and this is a different time.  [/b]

My Dad died in April and I went alone.  I wasn’t going to drag my kid though Covid just to be there and still need to take care of kid while helping everyone else.

OP would have no time with DH caring for the kids.

DH go alone.   This isn’t hiding from death. [/quote]

+1 My dad died in March (in a different state) and DH and my teens came for the funeral. DH insisted that we should all stay for the full week and frankly it was annoying after the first few days. At their age it was definitely important for them to be at the funeral (they were very close to my dad) but they should have gone home after that. The kids and DH were trying to do school remotely, I was helping my mom with stuff. I know he wanted to be supportive but it was more about what he thought would be supportive vs. what really worked for me. I went back about 6 weeks later to have some time just with mom and my sister to work on helping her with figuring out the financials, planning for a move that had been set up before my dad's death, etc. It was much better for me to be on my own.
