[Magdalen] Dilemma redux

[Grace Cangialosi]

Somehow my original post and your helpful responses morphed into a whole
other topic, so I'm starting this one anew.  But it will be short, and you
don't have to respond.
I had told my son I wasn't comfortable taking the boys for the day, and he
took it well and didn't try to argue, other than sending me an article from
one of his conspiracy sites in which a doctor said masks are useless.
Today he called and said he's having trouble finding anyone to take the two
little boys, and since this Omicron isn't supposed to be a big deal, he
wondered if I would reconsider. I said I wouldn't.
I sent him a text suggesting that he ask one of his three older daughters
if they would watch the boys. He said none of them are speaking to him, so
that's not an option. That's a whole other story....
Trouble is, I'm feeling a bit guilty for turning him down again and
wondering if I'm really being overly cautious.  But if I get sick between
now and Christmas, when I have two services, and my trip to Florida to
visit my daughter, I'll be really upset.
