If any of her family members are unvaccinated, she doesn’t want them to attend thanksgiving dinner. But her husband thinks it disrespectful not to include all of their family members.
Dear Bert Show,
Obviously, last Thanksgiving and Christmas kinda sucked. We didn’t see any family and all of our normal traditions were put on hold. It was depressing.
Well, now this year we are looking forward to doing all the things! Big Thanksgiving dinner with family, tree lightings, Santa pictures, Christmas gatherings at church and and holiday parties. We feel comfortable doing those things because my husband, me and our 2 kids are all vaccinated. My side of the family is also vaccinated.
Unfortunately, some (not all) members of his family are refusing the shot. I don’t feel comfortable inviting those family members to be around us or others we are inviting. If it was anyone else, my husband would agree. However, it’s his parents. They refuse to get vaccinated. I don’t want them around my own parents.
If my parents knew his parents are unvaccinated and will be there, they also wouldn’t come to Thanksgiving dinner. So, I’m insisting he tell his parents they aren’t welcome to come over for Thanksgiving, but if they get vaccinated now, they still have time to get fully vaxxed in order to come for Christmas. My husband refuses to tell his parents this and thinks we have to be respectful and include them regardless of their status.
