[quote=Anonymous]We are over being cooped up in our apartment with no outdoor space and DH's parents generously offered for us to come stay with them for the summer. They have a great backyard with a pool and live close to a beach. We have both been social distancing, although we are stricter than they are. Our bigger concern is us getting them sick, but of course we prefer not to get sick sick either. We are really tempted to go, but there is one thing holding me back and DH thinks I am being crazy for letting this be an issue.

DH's parents insist on wearing their shoes inside and will not even entertain not doing so. His dad is old school and thinks it's uncomfortable to walk around without shoes and that we are crazy germophobes. I have always just dealt with it in the past, but since they go to the grocery store 1-2x per week and take daily walks around the neighborhood (including some busier streets) I am worried they could be bringing Covid inside on the soles of their shoes - and our 11 month old who is crawling and puts everything in his mouth would be at increased risk of contracting it and then giving it to everyone else.

DH thinks it's a non-issue and I need to let it go, but I am seriously thinking maybe we should not go because of it.

How would others feel about this? And no, there is no compromise - they will not remove their shoes while inside, we have asked and they understand we may not come because it it.[/quote]
