Thanks for your input Don. Yes, they are from that camp that believes this is a 'plandemic'. Therefore we never get into political discussions. Nevertheless, I think it is best to reschedule. I believe they will understand.
Hi All,
We have friends that were due to spend the weekend with us. Friend just told me her daughter who lives with them is Covid + with symptoms.
I asked if they would test before they come and they said they will not test, but if they don't feel well they would not come.
They are anti-Covid...
He is not happy with the situation and wants to call her and SIL out on their behavior. I prefer to keep him out of it as I think it would makes things worse.
Thanks for sharing your story hollydolly. One of the reasons why I sought out a forum like this is to get the perspectives of others that may be in the same boat. I guess we all have to make the best of our situations and seek out positivity rather than anger and anxiety.
Thanks too, for the...
They moved away from both families so SILs mom is even a little further away. He talks to her almost every day though. They seem to have a very good relationship.
Colleen,

You're correct in saying it's not that far. The issue is the ride is mostly very busy interstate driving of which I am not a fan of (white knuckles most of the way for me!).
New home, fairly new marriage and new baby is taking a toll on her it seems.
Best plan for now might be to give...
Hi Palides2021,
I agree that this may be caused by stress. She is having a hard time giving up the 'BC' life (before children).
I am trying not to take these personal attacks personally. Of course, this is difficult at time.
Thanks for your reply!
Hi Pinky,
Thank you for the welcome!
Their criticisms, especially daughter's, range from me being a terrible mom and grandmother, to challenging me when my husband and I have a weekend getaway rather than going to see them. Truly my memories of her childhood were one of participation in all...
Hi All, This is my first post here. I am at my wits end due to the very strained relationship that I am experiencing with my 34 yr old daughter. Her and her husband moved to another state last year right after my granddaughter was born. The move is about 75 miles away so not that much of a...
