Does anyone know if there’s a way to report gatherings anonymously ? Apparently my in-laws don’t understand the severity of this pandemic. I have two medical conditions, and two babies. I’m so fed up, it’s like don’t they watch the news or even care?!

Best answer
I know our family doesn’t get it either! They keep saying “they are just kids” regarding their teens/young adults having social gatherings.

@feil6 People just won’t take this seriously until they know someone that not only has it but passes away from it. It not only affects our health but also everyone’s lives in different ways such as schooling, work, paying bills, ughhh everything. The sooner we follow orders the quicker this will hopefully end

@vicereine they come over by us.  
by (5.2k points)
@plow693 tell them that if they have their party they can’t come over. No other option. No giving in. They want to keep up a social life then keep away from you.

@vicereine there’s a language barrier and I keep telling my significant other and it’s like no one cares. My s/o works 6 days a week. My s/o wanted a fence put up and the people that were supposed to build it started and weren’t able to finish. Now my s/o father said he can build it so he’s here doing that with his son and friend. Not only are they building a fence now they decided to build a smoker and are smoking a large amount of meat outside. My s/o mother keeps coming inside and the brother too. The father took my three year old outside with them and I was furious. Plus we just moved in here, ughhh my neighbors must think we’re nuts.

@plow693 I’m sure your husband can speak to them and he needs to lay down the law. I deal with this virus everyday, it’s more serious than people know. Stand up for yourself and those babies Mamma. You got this! You don’t need that fence or a smoker right now. They can wait.

@vicereine I promise it’s a daily argument. To the point we’re I might just end my relationship. Which is funny because that’s honestly what they would love. I’m so over his family and him not respecting me . I swear this all makes me want to go back to school.

@plow693 jerks! I’m sorry.  
by (3k points)
@vicereine they absolutely are! They always put me down and never have anything nice to say. Ever since my oldest daughter (she’s 3) stopped going over to both grandparents has lost weight. She was wearing a 5t and now fits in 3t. They spoil her with cookies, juice, donuts, candy, etc it’s insane. Spoil her with hugs and kisses not food I tell them.

Almost a year difference in this pic. It’s a 3t a 5t was almost to tight before

What a cutie!  
by (3k points)
@vicereine thank you! But you can clearly see a difference. My s/o had diabetes when he was young and they still don’t get it. They come over and give her a bunch of junk. I’m over weight but because of my medication that I take that’s a steroid.

Don’t answer the door?  I know that sounds so harsh, but you have to keep yourselves safe. There are children, at least from 2 different households playing together every afternoon in front of my house. I just don’t believe parents are allowing that‍♀️

@plow693 I would definitely try. I don’t wanna be a bad influence lol but if they ask I’d lie and say you don’t know anything. Try to take their keys? I hate that people don’t take this seriously. I mean people are dying. I’m sorry.  
by (3k points)
@deadlock Thanks I might have to lie. It’s seriously my s/o fault. He should just man up and put his put down. FN mammas boy, I seriously can’t stand him at times.  
by (4.2k points)
@plow693 I’m sorry he doesn’t stick up for you
by (3k points)
@deadlock thank you sweetie. I know that he loves them very much but he needs to stick up for me and our girls. But its very clear that he doesn’t want to interfere so I might have to take things into my own hands.

@plow693 absolutely mama! You have to keep you and your babes healthy! ❤️

It’s so hard with family. I completely understand. My sil is with a Chicago fireman who easily can be exposed and she keeps going to visit my mil and bil and they are totally fine with going to each others houses, but my little family are the only ones who won’t. It was my husbands birthday yesterday and they all sang to him on the front lawn which was nice. At least they respect our wishes, but I am still a bit scared of his parents getting sick since they are at a higher risk and they keep having all these visitors
by (3k points)
@humidity743 why don’t they get it right?! At least they respect your wishes unlike his family. My birthday is coming up also and I told him that I won’t want or expect my family to come so why should he let his family come over ‍♀️.

Sounds like you've got a case of the pain in the assinlawitious. Been there! Got the t-shirt. We normally have meetings once a month, where we drink and bitch about our in-laws, but those are postponed until further notice. I'm not trying to put myself into your business, but can you really not reason with your husband? If not, I'd pull out all the stops. Don't cook for him, hold out on giving him the sex, make him sleep on the couch. Give 'em hell! Use the power of the pussy!

@jawbreaker31 well let me know once the meetings are back in session please . I tried that in March, I think he just upgraded his package to pornhub, either that or webcaming some slores .

I’m 100% rude, so excuse me while I say this . I would tell them to Fu%* off and go loiter somewhere else. Case closed. It’s time to just say screw it and get nasty if They don’t get it. Hey that’s just my opinion.

Find out the list of invitees, call them in advanced and inform them not to come. After that, nobody would accept their invitation.

Change locks girl! You can probably call the police. Unfortunately I don't think that there's anything they can actually do about it right now. I don't think there's actual laws in place

Spray everyone with Lysol when they get there. Make masks and give one to every adult to wear. When they come into your house follow them around and spray everything they come in contact with or wipe it with disinfectant wipes. Every time someone touches one of your kids snatch they up and go wash their hands. Maybe they will get the hint and stop coming to your house.
