Coronavirus Christmas - oops I may have seriously upset SiL!

NannyC2

I am not accustomed to telling lies, Callistemon. I was brought up to tell the truth. I am not surprised by your comments I just feel sad for you as all I want to do is try to help people. So many people are being drawn in to behavioural psychology.
A comment from someone who is aware of the evil that is really happening (hiding behind Covid) sums things up nicely............

"The Illumination of Conscience will soon arrive for ALL on earth. God will show us our entire life as He sees it in this frightful encounter. You will know God exists."
How very true - I hope it happens soon!

Have you some thoughts of your own rather than all these things you’ve heard from somewhere else?
When did God pop into the equation ?

I’m quite shocked that someone would call you cruel on here daftbag, your SiL was behaving rudely and irresponsibly and you did exactly the right thing and tbh more fool all those people she planned on having a cuppa with !

It doesn’t actually matter whether we agree with the government or not, like the rest of the world, we are following scientific advice, as I’m neither a scientist or a conspiracy theorist, I too will follow the rules ! I know someone who sadly died, no health reasons and I get early 60s, my cousin and her husband are both very unwell with it and both in 50s and two colleagues of mine, again early 50s are both still recovering and have long Covid! Despite those who disagree, this is a contagious nasty virus ! Roll on the vaccine !

What a silly woman. That’s why the COVID cases are high. I would have told her if she sees other people we can’t have her as we keep to the rules, it was her choice.

I think that's quite cruel of ypou. People living alone have really suffered during this Pandemic and being sociable and having social contact is more important in my book but that's just my opinion because I disagree with a lot of what this government has done .

Loneliness can be overcome, death from Covid cannot! I despair at your rediculous self centred attitude Taliya! Little wonder that deaths are rising with stupid individuals like you disregarding the advice on staying safe! Totally irresponsible!

Daftbag. You did the right thing. I would have done exactly the same. This virus is almost out of control a lot of it due to people not respecting the guidelines.

People like her are the very reason we are in Tier 4. You did the right thing.

Congratulations on having the courage to withdraw the invitation - many would have felt pressured to put up with such behaviour. I'm forever shouting "two meter distance" and I don't care who is offended!

Absolute lies, nannyc2 as is most of the stuff you post.

A woman wandering around a hospital, including wards, filming, unchallenged?

Lies being told? My stepdaughter is a consultant in intensive care in east London. She says cases have been rising for several weeks now and is very worried. I would rather believe her than read about conspiracy theories.

I have to totally disagree with you. I live alone now - because my beloved husband died in May from Covid-19. I'm suffering. But I'm bloody well not going to insist on "social contact and being sociable" whilst possibly causing the death of someone else whose loved ones will grieve forevermore as I will for my man. Yes, the Westminster government has been a total ass about the rules, but the scientists have been quite clear on how dangerous and how easily transmissable this horrendous disease is. If you're out & mixing indiscriminately, I'm sorry but I utterly despise you for your selfishness.

NannyC2. I do not believe a word of what you’ve posted. Apart from anything else I have a friend whose husband has Covid ....guess where ? YORK hospital.

You are spreading dangerous nonsense in my opinion

you are an utter fool

Well done.. 100% agree with you. Your SIL is showing total disrespect for you and the others she is "sharing her bubble with" !

Taliyan What are you thinking have you not noticed how many people are ill and dying I cannot believe your thinking

Silly old goose of a woman. She was lucky you didn't tell her to get stuffed....

Brilliant!

From your account she sounded like she was being deliberately stupid to excuse what she knew to be blatant rule-breaking. About time she learnt from you that not everyone is going to admire her little self-indulgences.

I agree with all that people have said. You did the right thing. She had no right to put you and yours at risk. Sorry but these people who think the rules don't apply to them and happily roll the dice with their health are sady selfish. They may get away with it 99% of the time but it only takes one time and that's it. It's sad bu a, reality and thats why it will go on.

Just heard a story yesterday. A family of four drove to their grandparents house 100 kilometres away to deliver gifts. They all trooped inside and an hour later the police turned up,threatened them with a $13,000 fine and ordered the visitors to leave. The family suspect a neighbour reported them.We are in lockdown here in Ontario and if people don’t stick to the rules the fines are harsh.

Well Done Daftbag for standing your ground!! Not an easy thing to do with family.

I dont think you should feel guilty as you have done what you see as the right thing.
She was very selfish to expect to come for lunch and as was said above, it was rude of her to expect you to delay eating until she got there!
I wonder if she felt guilty about her behaviour as she dropped in unexpected to tell you of her plans?
It seems she thought if she unloaded her conscious, you would still feel obliged to have her over.
There is a lot of railroading behaviour going on by some.
Well done you for making your position clear.
You may suffer the consequences in the future though!

You absolutely did the right thing! What a selfish woman she is - and others like her, a couple of which have posted on here!! We are all fed up and feel deprived of close contact with family and friends but I think to much of them to risk their health, DH’s and mine. A friend of ours knows someone who had a test and told her parents it was negative when she hadn’t had the result because she didn’t want to be alone at Christmas. She later tested positive. I don’t think I would ever forgive her.

Yes to all of that!

Add " use your common sense", another pet peeve of mine.
What common sense, the one that you apply to your benefit or for the benefit of the whole society?

Of course you did the right thing and shouldn’t feel at all guilty. People like your relative will be the ones responsible for a hike in the already sky high infection rates with the effects on the over stretched health services
