Feeling bad about nephews visit

I just have to go on accepting and believing that, lemsip, and I do but my other son would not practise this and he doesn't love me one iota less. Bewildering indeed......

Kim19 Your son is keeping you safe!

I had the same with my son yesterday. He just wouldn't come in. Seems thoroughly alien to me but - can't believe I'm saying this - he seems to feel the need to be far more cautious than me. And I'm not careless but.... this takes a bit of getting used to.

Because it goes against our natural instinct, especially at this time of year. You did the right thing, most people are in the same position.

People really don't want to be invited in. They shouldn't be on your doorstep either - it's just not safe!

I imagine by ‘on the doorstep’ the OP means a fair distance away from herself whilst stood in the house.

Not a problem I would have thought.

It was the right decision , but definitely hard!

I'm sure they understand you'd have invited them in under normal circumstances. It's hard though. It feels unnatural.
