Can you do self-insemination at home ?
Dear Home Insemination Kit,
My partner and I have just received our second COVID-19 vaccine doses, and like many, we’re excited about what this means for our social lives moving forward. However, the pandemic is still very much a reality, and our three children remain unvaccinated. Unfortunately, our extended families seem to think we’re ready to jump back into large gatherings, but we’re just not there yet.
For instance, my aunt—who feels like a second mother to me—is turning 65 next month, and the family is planning a sizable surprise party for her. On top of that, my in-laws are pressing my partner about Easter plans. While we genuinely miss our loved ones and the joy of gathering, many family members work with the public and are still unvaccinated. My main concern is for my children; it doesn’t feel safe to gather yet. The pressure from family is overwhelming.
This is likely a common struggle for many families this year, particularly with spring and summer on the horizon. The good news is that millions are getting vaccinated — yay! However, the situation remains precarious. Herd immunity won’t be achieved until children are vaccinated, and COVID-19 is still a serious threat.
Even as someone who recently got vaccinated, I understand the rush of wanting to socialize again after a year of isolation. It’s natural to want to reconnect, but we must remember that the virus hasn’t disappeared. It will continue to mutate and seek out unvaccinated individuals, posing a risk to everyone, especially children.
Your families likely have your best interests at heart, but it’s crucial they respect your boundaries. Politely but firmly decline any invitations that don’t align with your comfort level. If you’re open to smaller, outdoor gatherings with precautions in place, suggest a compromise that meets your needs and those of your family.
