*** My daughters have become ‘bossy’ as I age - my sons - not so much.***
I have one daughter, and two sons. The daughter is the one who acts as though my husband and I will die from CoVid should we catch it. Neither of us have comorbidities at all, other than we could stand to lose 10 pounds. We both had just turned 60 when the lockdowns started.
At Christmas we were hoping to have her, her boyfriend, and our younger son visit for 3 days. Our son had CoVid over Thanksgiving. She wanted all of us to quarantine for 2 weeks leading up to Christmas, including our son who had just been quarantined for 14 days all alone. She also wanted everyone to pay for at home CoVid test kits, and to have negative results.
We had to make a tough call. We figured that if she was this worried about CoVid before seeing us, that Christmas would be miserable with an in-person visit. We asked her to stay in NY and visit the boyfriend’s family in NJ. We have no idea if they all followed her instructions of quarantine and CoVid tests before they went. Possibly, because his family are all staunch Democrats. I guess she is, too, now.
I can see that this is the handwriting on the wall. Our kids’ treatment of us during these last few months are my biggest motivation for ramping up my exercise, and trying to shed more weight. I know they will not care of me the way I did my own parents. It’s kinda sad, actually, to really feel this way. In their minds, they are trying to protect us. None have children...yet. I figure that if and when they do start, they will understand much better.
99.9% chance of survival if you get it, probably not much to worry about.
You people like you and your husband are low risk.
