AIBU to want my husband to take less risks while I help our daughter with her new baby?

Maggiemaybe, yes, I know, but things are changing fast, everywhere, due to the Omicron variant. There are pop-up clinics over there too.

The OP lives in Canada, Hetty.

Nanny2020: ' won’t be eligible for the booster until Feb' sounds wrong to me. Things have changed recently and there's a big rush to get boosters. Find your nearest walk in centre and just take him there ASAP.

Absolutely NO, you are NOT being unreasonable!!!

Your husband is, tho, and he doesn't seem to care about his family much, with that attitude!!!
He has a loving family but he could lose you all because of this awful disease, and he's being so flippant about it!
To be honest, I'm surprised he still has a job as some employers are letting go of the anti-vaxxers!

Good luck to you and your daughter and family, and let's hope he gets a short, sharp shock to knock some sense into him!!!

apologies to quadrupeds.

Hi Welbeck, no I’m in Canada so we have to be 168 days since since our second jab. Mine was in July.
Yes thankfully I’m able to live quite comfortably in our suite . It’s peaceful less discussions with him that go nowhere !!

My 40 yr old dd and partner are booked for a booster next week. I suggest Nanny2020 you go online to see if you can book yours.

of course you are not over-reacting.
i wouldn't bother with him.
can you be totally self-contained down there, or could you go stay with daughter and new baby.
are you sure you cannot get booster yet ? are you in uk. the rules are changing all the time, and some venues are more flexible to fulfil the overall aim of getting as many as possible.

I am so stressed with my husbands stubbornness around following Covid restrictions. The whole pandemic we have been at odds. He was the last in the family to agree to the vaccine and now won’t be eligible for the booster until Feb. I’m not able to get it until January.
Our daughter has had her first baby, a difficult birth and some struggles since, we live close and I am there a lot. For the first month I asked him to keep his social circle small, and wear his mask at work. He refuses. Stating “we are all double vaccinated and I need to live my life “ He has gone to a small house party a hockey game, yesterday hosted his work Christmas lunch with over the allowed number of people indoors, no masks, unknown vaccine status of some , and a buffet lunch . The case numbers in our community are going up and we are on the verge of going from 25 allowed indoors back to 10 . We are being told by health officials to keep our contacts small. He doesn’t listen to the news or read the notifications about the restrictions . I’m staying in our basement suite while I support our daughter , Me bringing COVID to her family now is a huge stress with her fathers behaviour, so this is the only way we feel I’m safe.
I’m losing respect for my husband and I’m just so disappointed in his lack of concern for how we feel.
Am I over reacting ?
