The funeral home where we had MILs service has a room like a church hall that you cab use for a reception. They serve sandwiches, chips, tea etc. It's all built into the funeral costs.

I liked it it was super easy and took stress off everyone.

My SIL and the church ladies ramped up for my mom. I made sure to write them thank you notes. I would have been up a shit creek without them.

If Mister decides to do nothing that is his decision. Someone else can host at another place if they want to.

I'd answer the door and politely say Mister is resting now is not a good time. Accept condolences, cards or whatever they bring and keep a list so if Mister wants he knows who to thank.

Then get less polite the more insistent people get as needed.

Could Aunt D or perhaps your son help corral people and herd then off the porch so you aren't doing it solo? If I was closer I'd help I can be quite scary when enforcing boundaries. In a polite way of course.😉

DS would be happy to do something like that, but he can be so nice/nasty, that Mister’s family might not ever speak to him again. Never mind the fact that DS is gay and he might answer the door wearing long hair and some heels and a fresh manicure, and tell folks what’s up in his deep voice. 

I don’t think Mister’s family is ready for that.

I’m his Mom, and I’m not always ready for it on the rare occasions that he shows up making a statement about who he is.

But that’s my baby and Imma love him regardless.

I prefer to avoid all of that potential drama, because no matter how DS dresses, it’s clear that he is gay, and I will most definitely put hands on anybody that disrespects him because of that. DS knows how to fight, he has had to fight to defend himself for years, against people that had a problem with him just because he is gay. He has fought while he was in high school, times that I never even knew about until DD told me after they were young adults, and she told me how DS got jumped sometimes by a few boys several times and he was successful defending himself even when it was a few males “jumping” him. 

I’ve still not ever mentioned what DD told me about DS fighting, to him. If he wanted me to know about it, he would’ve told me himself, and he still hasn’t. 

My people are not very receptive to people like my son, so I’d rather not create a situation where I am provoked to punch somebody in their throat, in my home or on my front porch. 

So having DS try to run interference is not a good idea.

Brother sure shows his true nature, doesn't he, showing up sick (and he's not stupid enough not to realize it's likely Covid), exposing his family to it.  He sure wasn't too sick to be texting Mister about getting his $$, was he?  I'm so sorry all this mess is still on your plate.  I think you and Mister are handling the food issue perfectly.  

When Brother text Mister Tuesday morning, saying he was sick, Mister and I both thought he was must making excuses to not come to the appointment at the funeral home. He was not present any of the times we were making arrangements for their Mom, so we thought he was just being with the shit again. 

But if Horseface tested positive for COVID, I guess Brother might really have been feeling terrible for real.

He still has not told Mister himself, that Horseface has or had COVID. I got that information from another little birdie that volunteered the info.

I’m not dwelling on it, but I think it is interesting that the family dynamics are such that people are willing to tell me things, instead of just telling Mister. Mister’s temper seems to be legendary among his family and family friends, since several people have told me about it, but nobody has ever said that he acts a fool over family issues. From what I understand, Mister maybe use to act a fool in the streets, but never with his family. 

And I just have to ask this - if Brother is so damned loving of his family and so grief-stricken about losing his mom and dad (just like Mister did), how could he possibly countenance exposing his mother's sister, his supposedly beloved elderly aunt to a virus that's particularly hard on seniors?  You and Mister are younger and fit, although that's no excuse for his exposing you either, but his elderly aunt  Seriously  

[Pink Cashmere]

I don’t even really know what just happened. 

I went to move my car in the garage and Mister was in the cove, talking to his coworker that had brought him something from his desk at work. This is the same coworker that he constantly complains about how she talks so much, so after I moved my car into the garage, I went back out there to try to gently shoo her away. I was not rude at all, I promise. But after she got back in her car to leave, Mister seemed to be angry with me, and peeled off instead of parking the Tahoe.

Idk where he went, or why he seemed so angry.

What I do know, is that I won’t try to run interference for him again, and I will most definitely mind my own business from now on. Idgaf what happens, with him, his family or his friends, Imma just mind my own business and make sure I’m okay. TF?!

I just learned that Horseface recently tested positive for COVID. I think I posted here that Tuesday morning, the day we had the appointment with the funeral home, Brother texted Mister saying he was very sick. Brother has not been tested, but if Horseface has/had it, that’s probably what’s wrong with him too. 

Brother did make it to the appointment at the funeral home, almost an hour late. And then we were all in that little office, with him seated in the middle, sitting between Mister and I and Aunt D and her husband. 

Idk how the timing works, but now Mister is questioning if that’s how his Dad ended up with pneumonia and not being able to breathe on his own and needing oxygen. I have no idea, and I’m not trying to figure it out. Either way, the end result is the same, that their Dad died. Mister doesn’t need any more reasons to be upset with his brother, so I am not encouraging that line of thought. 

I am about ready to just go to bed and try again tomorrow. Even though tomorrow probably won’t be much better.

They would have tested him at the hospital. I'm with you though, if he did have it, I wouldn't go encouraging Mister to find out. Like you said, the end result would be the same, it would just make him resent his brother more than he already does. Get yourselves tested though before going around a bunch of people at a funeral. It can always be postponed.

ETA: I still carry resentment for my uncle that died right after my grandpa did. He was an antivax anti mask POS. He went to my grandparents house every morning to check on them. One day my grandparents came up positive for COVID. Shortly after he tested positive too. They were all in the same hospital at the same time. Grandma was there for a few days. It took grandpa a week to die. Uncle was in the hospital for 5 weeks before he died. I'd give anything to have my grandpa back. He had some medical issues because he was older, but pretty healthy considering his age. Had my stupid ass uncle tested or gotten vaccinated, they might both still be here.

I reached out to Aunt D today, asking if they were planning to have a repast or gather after the burial. She said she’d asked Mister about it and he said that after it was over, he just wanted to go home and go to bed. As far as I’m concerned, that’s that on that, we can come home and he can go to bed or do whatever might soothe his nerves.

BUT, I expressed concern that some of the family might show up at our home anyway, just because that is where they gathered after his Mom’s burial. I don’t like unannounced guests and will look at you from a window while you are ringing my doorbell and still act like I’m not home, and refuse to open the door. 

But I’m not sure that is an appropriate in a time like this. I’m not sure how I should handle it if that happens. If I do answer the door, I’m good with being clear that Mister is resting and will not be disturbed regardless, and I will tackle and fight anybody that insists on going to the private part of our home, to try to speak to him. Even if I let somebody inside, the public and private areas of our house are very clearly defined. Our children and my grandchildren are the only people that are welcome in the private parts of our home. 

But I also think I would feel awkward if I can’t offer any guests that might pop up, at least some snacks or whatever. But as of today, I also don’t feel like going to the grocery store.

Not for a funeral, but what we did for my parent's 40th anniversary was we reserved a room at a restaurant. We picked out the cheapest entrees on the menu and paid for that and soft drinks for everyone. If anyone wanted alcohol, it was on them. I think for the size group we had it was a couple hundred dollars. Mister doesn’t have to go. It could just be a small group meeting and since there is money in dad's account, dad could pay. Or you could tell everyone to kick rocks. Either is acceptable.

I'm having a great visual of this - I think I would love your son for sure.  I'm flashing back to last year when a friend asked us over to his annual Christmas party, a big casual event for his family and friends.  We all got a sneak preview of the costumes he and his husband would be wearing on their annual gay-themed cruise (his husband is a very talented costume designer and seamstress).  Many of us tried to walk across the living room in the 5-inch red crystal stilettos that were part of the costume-it was a solid fail for us straight folks.      

[countrygirl2]

Yes, my husband encountered a trumper today and the guy was going on about how no good it was and blah, blah, blah, and he just plain told him he was lying. I don't know why he wants to live here. He is into it with people all the time over the blankety blank trumpers. I'm afraid one of them is going to shoot him one day. I told him he really needs to be careful, these people have turned nuts.

Now I'm hearing tonight, some billionaires and making kids videos targeting them into becoming climate change deniers. And now Florida and Texas is incorporating this into the school teaching them this. And other states are looking at it. Of course, they made their money in guess what? Fracking, they are now trying to divide and indocrinate children.  I'm sick of this stuff, just sick of it.

We will get the shots soon as they are out.

I have mine scheduled. I'll get it on 10/3. I got my flu shot a couple of weeks ago. I'm trying to be proactive, since my DGDs started school last week and I'm old with health issues.

[busymom]

I'm trying to schedule the next Covid dose for DS & I, but our local clinic won't schedule quite yet.  DS is considered vulnerable, and since I spend the most time with him, I'm trying to make sure I'm less likely to catch the virus, and then pass it on.

Again, do I need to come over there? Your son sounds like my kind of people. Or as T1 says "mom loves the gays" which I really do. I'm not an ally, I'm an accomplice. I volunteer to fight anyone I have to. I actually like fighting and I've been working out. Just saying.

Holy crap! I just found out, one of my grand dogs(5lbs?, 12yrs old), got attacked by a Goldendoodle today and had to have an eye removed!
It was a relative's dog that did it. They were sleeping on the couch together. No one knows why it happened.
So traumatic. Damn!

Holy crap! I just found out, one of my grand dogs(5lbs?, 12yrs old), got attacked by a Goldendoodle today and had to have an eye removed!
It was a relative's dog that did it. They were sleeping on the couch together. No one knows why it happened.
So traumatic. Damn!

How sad. Hope your grand dog is otherwise ok.

We are all packed and ready to leave tomorrow morning. I dread the 2 a.m. alarm but that's how it goes. I'm really looking forward to being some place a little cooler

Where would that be? Even the Frozen North isn't cooler. It's brutal here.
