[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Here’s the text. “We are not available for visits or get togethers at this time.”

That’s it.  Stop with the explanation.  I don’t agree with your covid rationale and checked the dates to see if this was an old post bumped.  But still, you have the right to your boundaries and not see people you don’t want to see.  You don’t have to give a reason.   You think they are unreasonable.  They think the same about you.

+1.  And any explanation you give will sound irrational.

I consider myself more conservative than average with covid precautions, but it's a totally different risk profile now in 2022 than it was in 2020/21. I know MANY vaccinated and boostered people who have gotten Covid, including my own child. Your relatives have a marginally higher risk of spreading Covid to you than anyone else at this point. Also I don't know where you are, but covid transmission rates are very low, and hospitalization rates are extremely low.

I think either you just don't want to hang out with them for your own personal reasons, or you suffer from anxiety which clouds judgment.  I have friends who suffer from anxiety, and I never understood their decision making around covid precautions.  Like refusing to step into a store for several years, being very strict about playdates, and sanitizing everything every 2 minutes, but then throwing a big indoor party for their child which ended up being a covid super-spreader event.[/quote]
