So I'm being forced to be the 'bad guy' today....here's the story.
We have friends who the wife is throwing her husband a surprise 40th party today. She finds out yesterday that her youngest who was at a camp all last week was in a group with a kid who tested positive for Corona. They haven't tested their son...but, I told my wife that I wasn't letting our youngest go to the party since he, that boy and all of his cousins would most likely just be together all night. I'm not going to go either.
Thing is she volunteered with her sister to get the house ready for the surprise while the mom has their family out for them to come home to the surprise. I just said me and my youngest aren't going. My other two sons were already not going to go....but, I just don't see risking it when we know that this boy was exposed all week long.
I feel like I'm doing the right thing on one hand.....and on the other I feel like I'm just allowing fear to dictate how I make decisions now?
This is just one of many decisions you will have to make being a parent and married.
This decision is one you and your wife should make together. For the main concern of your son that one of you has. If she wants to go, what she could do is mask up.
The issue to is that the data is showing that vaccinated people can still spread the delta variant. That's why the CDC says for vaccinated people to mask up indoors and the reason for possible mask mandates again.
The best solution would be just to not go. But, I can't give you anything more, nor tell you what choice you should make.
I just hope that your decision turns out for the best, and that you and your family are all good.
