Hey ladies. I really need advice as I’m not sure if I’m overreacting. I was invited on a trip to celebrate MIL’s birthday. 2 days before trip, BIL & wife test positive for Covid. They insist on coming anyway, saying they’ll book own hotel/car & wont associate with us until they test negative. They test this morning, & despite a positive test, they are asking to join our part. I’m in the midst of busy szn, & going home to visit my 85 yo grandma & 9 month old nephew. WIBTA if I left & went home?

No you will not. Just because COVId isn’t serious for them doesn’t mean it’s not for others. There are people who are very vulnerable and have to be careful

They are outta line! How you decide to protect yourself is up to you and they have to respect it. I wouldn’t go either.

I posted here some months back about my ectopic pregnancies but today, I'm posting to tell you all to hang in there and God will do it for you. (Please don't insult me of you don't believe in God because I strongly do).
In a nut shell, we had baby #1 without trying. Started trying for #2 and over 2 years, I had 4 miscarriages and 2 ectopics. In July, my doc informed me that the only way forward was through IVF. I was tired and confused. I PRAYED! and continued trying. (The rest in the comments.)
