My DIL is immunocompromised and hasn't been to a restaurant in four years. She and my son basically go nowhere and do nothing except go do docs. My 80th birthday is coming up and my husband, daughter and myself will be going out to a nice restaurant for a nice dinner. This restaurant has widely spaced tables and high ceilings with fans.
Of course, I wanted my son there as it is the BIG one. He and his wife have declined stating that they don't go to restaurants because of covid. In the past couple years I know she hasn't been to an indoor restaurant, but I thought he had. I said "so you won't come even for your mother's 80th". He said, "that's right". I guess I never really got how someone can go to such extremes.
I cannot live that way. They have no friends due to this bizarre thinking. Not like I'm asking them to go out every night for food and drinks to the local pub. Just asking them to join us for maybe a couple hours for my BD. She thinks the risk is too high. I say she would say that if it was 0%. Sorry for venting..
