I would appreciate positive comments, advice, help regarding:

OMG(osh). Son, his wife, and our five-year-old grandson have been living with us since last December - another story because it has been way past time for them to find their own place, but they’re “saving money for a downpayment to buy a house.”

Son just told me that due to grandson’s sore throat and runny nose, they have an appointment to take him for c*vid test later this afternoon. He has no fever, no cough, no breathing difficulties, and still running around the house like a miniature, maniacal teenage mutant ninja turtle mixed with a mighy morphin power ranger. (I am rita repulsa. HA.)

Son and I just had a major disagreement regarding b l m at supper the other night, so although I know what I want to say, my husband reminds me that we must focus on maintaining relationships. Son claims to be a libertarian, but the wife is full-blown deluded by liberal nonsense.

I do not want to be “contact traced”.

Husband, our dog, and I leave in the a.m. for a tent-camping/trout fishing trip until Friday, celebrating our 35th wedding anniversary.

((hugs))

Oh how I hear what you are saying...

I got my apartment 7 years ago, and 4 months later my daughter, sil and grandson lost their house, no where to go, so I had them move in my two bedroom apt...

A year later: sil finds a townhome across town...away they go only 4 months later he leaves her...no where to go, daughter and grandson move back in with me...

I understand your nightmare so well...my advise: Keep your mouth shut, it's your home not theirs, they can have their own private opinions and when they get their own home, have a group of flowers delivered with a note: “For your new home” and let it be known that they can't move in again nor anyone else for that matter...

When I was growing up it was “you live under my roof, you live by my rules”. One of those rules is not arguing with mom. People are going to treat you exactly how you demand to be treated.

you’re not the only one in that generational situation -

but your son is in a lose-lose situation, so don’t go there, for his sake and for yours...

Does your state have a quarantine requirement if you are exposed?
Will you be traveling out of state for your trip?
If not, I recommend you make a last minute change.
Your State cannot restrain interstate trade.
