[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP - did I miss it? Can you explain why you feel so compelled to visit your Dad at this very particular moment in time? Newborn at home and Pandemic numbers spiking?

And if you do decide to forge onward with your visit - what exactly will you do? Somehow you will magically make your Dad feel better, make life easier for a mere 6 nights/7days, and then, poof!, return to the land of the living? 
...risking your health and everyone else's around you in the mean time??

If your dad "needs" you so much as you perceive/he claims, then maybe you and your siblings need to hire help, set him up with a case worker, ask for recommendations from his gereontologist or the like. [/quote]

Are you able to read? Her dad requires a caregiver and the caregiver injured her back. OP is the only option to care for her dad. This is a family emergency. A short term family emergency and OP needs to go help and she didn't ask for everyone's opinion on it, but for ideas for how to support her husband. Her husband is clearly very capable of taking care of their baby.

OP i'm sorry you all are going through this stressful event while you have a newborn, you sound like a wonderful daughter and mother, in a great marriage. Your baby and husband will be fine. It will likely be harder on you. I don't have any great ideas for things that would help. Some pre-prepped meals makes sense, maybe ask some friends to drop off a meal or two? I would be more than happy to do this for a friend if they were going through something like this! And you can also just buy easy meals he can heat up. Otherwise they'll enjoy lots of cuddling and be happy to see you when you return.[/quote]
