[Magdalen] Dilemma

[Grace Cangialosi]

Thank you for your input. I consulted my daughter about it, and she thinks I’m making too much of it. She said if I’m that concerned, I might not want to ervisit her in Florida. But she and the boys are fully vaccinated, and if I go inside anywhere, I’ll wear a mask. Plus, I’m driving down, not flying.

I’ll just have to bite the bullet and talk to my son about it tomorrow. It’s not as simple as “my house, my rules;” this may undo our very fragile new detente. His reasons are political and extend to all vaccinations of any kind or any suggestion that he should wear a mask. He wouldn’t visit his dad in a nursing home because he had to wear a mask.
But I am glad for your input—it basically supports my position.

I don’t really have much for them to do here, but I figured maybe we could go out for pizza and maybe go to the community park if it’s not too cold, or to a movie.

But I’m also not terribly comfortable with the idea of having them here in the house all day. I left a message with my son that we need to discuss it, but I haven’t heard back yet. He told me awhile ago that the whole family had COVID back at the beginning, so they don’t need the vaccine, but I’ve heard that isn’t necessarily true. I know there’s going to be a confrontation over this, and I’d like another opinion or two. Am I overreacting? At the very least, I will insist that they wear masks—he doesn’t believe in those, either.
