[quote=Anonymous]My brother and pregnant SIL are planning to drive four hours to go visit my parents at their house in upstate NY. My parents are older, but healthy and have been SIP. My brothers justification is “well we haven’t seen them in a while plus we can WFH so we can stay as long as we want.” My parents have been pretty level headed about COVID and SIP (for example, they decided very early on to not go to a family wedding in June in NYC, before it was canceled), but they are thrilled that brother and SIL are coming to visit.

Anyways, I can’t help but feeling like they’re all nuts. I totally understand that SIP is difficult, and it’s hard not being able to see family. I wish I could see them too, but such is life in this time. I can’t help but think it’s pretty irresponsible for my brother to travel 4 hours and potentially put his pregnant wife in harms way just to sit in my parents house. At the same time, I feel like my parents are also being irresponsible for being okay with it, though I admit they’re in a tricky position.

Am I out of line for thinking this way?[/quote]
