Need some validation that im not crazy? Wife and I live with bro and sis in law. My wife is about to give birth in like 2 weeks. Sis in law decided to fly to Arizona for her sisters baby shower where multiple people were flying in from all over and there would be like 30 people there. So we’re asking her to quarantine/we’re going to have to distance ourselves for the whole week. She just got home and is looking at us like we’re so dramatic and ridiculous for doing this. She took two flights ug

Thanks EY. That’s what we’re actually doing for a week, which is costing us a ton. And she’s treating us like we’re being dramatic....

You aren’t. I would do the same thing. The fact that your already at risk being pregnant and having to go to a hospital. Then the chance that if you get infected you can’t even be with your wife for the birth of your child. Then if she gets infected she can’t be around her child right after birth. Omg just thinking about that makes me so mad. There is risk. However small. You should ask her why would she want to put you guys at any risk at all. I wouldn’t let her around my child for the first three months of life since she clearly can’t demonstrate care and consideration.

You’re not being dramatic at all.

Or just go along, accept my good reviews and bonus, and keep my head down?

Can someone walk me through the Do's and Don't's of AA miles? I think they're a joke.

I have 65k miles and I could only pay for a one-way ticket from PHX-JFK. I had to book 1 leg with miles and the 1 with cash, but booking the other leg in cash was about 80% of the round trip in cash.

My mom has 12k miles that expire soon, transferring them would cost me $450. I can pay for a round trip with that cash but I can only pay for a trip to my kitchen with those 12k miles.

What am I doing wrong? 😂
