My husband lost a wrestling match to our son. How do I keep his pouting from ruining their relationship?
My husband’s large family has regular weekend-long gatherings for birthdays and holidays, which with 16 young children proves to be a breeding ground for bacteria and viruses. When we arrived at the last gathering over Christmas with our healthy children, I was dismayed when I looked at my niece. Red eyes, one almost swollen shut. I asked my SIL what was wrong. She casually responded, “Oh yeah, she has pinkeye, that reminds me I forgot her eye drops.
On other occasions I have brought a large bottle of hand sanitizer with me and tried to be the enforcer of cleanliness by getting all the kids to scrub up before meals, but this time I forgot it. When it comes to things like this I feel very much like an outsider in the family, as they sometimes laugh off the spread of sickness by saying “families that get sick together, stay together.” I think it’s ridiculous, and if you wouldn’t bring a kid to school/day care, you shouldn’t bring them to a gathering. With COVID-19 in the news it has me wondering about the next gathering.
I am worried that if I do change my mind about having a family that I will have to spend more time with his family because they would expect to see their grandchild and spend time with us. I also fear that my husband would want us to spend more time with his family. In turn, this could affect my marriage with my husband. How do I ensure we maintain our distance even if we have a baby?Talk to your husband about your specific concerns regarding increased contact with his family.
