True. However, I bet there are plenty of people who have married someone from their “own” culture but with whom they are in disagreement over Covid…what? Protocols? Say one wants to mask and vaccinate their kid/s and the other does not. Just between parents is enough to cause some to adopt a go along to get along mentality. Add extended family members and it gets nearly as ugly as my situation.
In fact, I now recall a story a new found friend (from one of these stacks) in Australia. A pregnant mother is telling her husband that he is being selfish for not getting the vax and as he is barred from attending the birth unless vaxxed, he better get the shot/s quick or she will take the kids and leave him if he misses the birth. Regardless which ever route he takes, that marriage is over. Expect mine too as they say kids my son’s age can start getting vaccinated next month here. I will leave if she gets him vaccinated.
Not hyperbole that my heart aches for you. My kid's an adult now, but when he was younger his wretched father was demanding some unnecessary medical interventions for purely vanity /his emotional needs purposes. I finally had to sternly instruct my kid that if his father tried to take him to the doctor behind my back (while I was at work), he was to refuse to go, and call me. The marriage ended much later for other reasons but fights about wise childrearing were constant.
I understand the position of foreign parents in Japan is extremely difficult. You have my every good wish.

Yikes! Unnecessary medical interventions not good.
