AITA for being irritated by my inlaws who are choosing my unvaccinated niece over my vaccinated children?
My children are both vaccinated and healthy. My SIL and her husband have decided not to vaccinate their daughter. She has no issues that prevent her from being vaccinated. This is a matter of choice and “snake-oil medicine” that my SIL thinks is quality care.
I don’t resent my niece, however, her parents refusing to believe doctors and medical professionals and choosing not to vaccinate has alienated my children.
My husband’s parents will consistently cancel plans with our kids or reschedule family functions for my niece (again, not her fault). This time it’s because my five year old was vaccinated and they “don’t want the virus to shed” so she doesn’t contract it. Fine. Whatever. That was yesterday. But now they are going to the homecoming parade with my niece. AROUND OTHER VACCINATED PEOPLE. I’m lit. I’m trying to hold my tongue, but I’m tired of it. Last Christmas my immuno-compromised nephew wasn’t allowed at Christmas because of my nieces lack of immunizations. We asked my SIL and inlaws to just half the evening with each child and both my SIL and her husband and my inlaws said no. Because it’s an inconvenience to my niece (who is 3).
This child has been turned away from EVERY pediatrician in our town because of my crazy SIL refusal to vaccinate. She was granted “religious exemption” so she can attend daycare, but other parents don’t want her exposing their children.
My inlaws ditching my kids is the issue I am having. This consistently happens. My husband doesn’t want confrontation with his parents. Which I will ultimately keep it to myself if he doesn’t agree to approach them. But AITA for standing wanting to stand up for my kids?
