[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My ILs have a large, extended family reunion involving two beach houses every year. Obviously, last year was canceled. This year, they booked the houses and said they’d keep an eye on things, which I thought was perfectly reasonable. This was before the delta variant started affecting the United States. We sent in our deposit and confirmed that at least my husband would attend.

A few weeks ago, I asked my husband if he would please ask his father (one of the event organizers) if there was a way he could put out some feelers and get a sense of how many attendees would be unvaccinated. We simply wanted more information to decide whether just my husband would attend, or if the kids and I would go as well.

My husband asked his dad, who started to make a few inquiries on the best way to go about it with the co-organizers. A few days later, out of the blue, the whole event was canceled.

My MIL then sent a text to ME saying that she was disappointed that I threw a wrench in everything by bringing up vaccines, [b]which is everyone’s personal choice[/b], etc. I never once suggested that the event be canceled, and I never even suggested that DH shouldn’t go. I had no direct contact with FIL or the other event planners over this. And *I’m* the one she texts!

So far, I have not responded. Should I? What would I say?[/quote]

I don't know how you can deal with your MIL. Pretty much the opposite of a "personal choice" in the middle of a pandemic. UGH. Kudos to you OP for even trying with these people.[/quote]
