At Christmas, and before I had been vaccinated, I refused to go over unless everyone was wearing a mask. Although my son was angry. . . ."in his own house, blah, blah, blah" they all wore masks because I just shrugged and said that I wouldn't be able to come over if they didn't. Just so you know, my son, his partner, and 2 grandkids all had COVID-19 at the beginning of November. There were a couple of other family members masked and I wore my mask. I ate in the kitchen while everyone else ate in the dining room and I left a little later.

Relationships are difficult for everyone and particularly hard with what has happened in the last 4-years. I am the matriarch of my family and will not "throw the baby out with the bathwater" as the expression goes. I continue to inform and chat, modify, try to change, etc. It is who I am.
