[quote=Anonymous]It came up in conversation with my child's pediatrician that it is very common for someone other than the parent to escort a child to visits.  I think he said it was more than half the time it would be a grandparent, and it was because there are so many immigrant populations in the DC area.  This was very different from the lily-white area we had just moved from...  Therefore, I see your parents' point about this BUT if you and DH are able to find time to handle medical appointments of course you should take the lead.

My family uses speaker phone during doctors visits if we have a question.  I have called my parents during meetings for my children or myself if I have a question about family history or genetics.  DH has called me so I could hear directly what his doctor says for his diet (I do the cooking).  You can tell your Mom when the appointment is so she can wait by the phone.

Additionally, if there is a specific question (under eye circles) I would suggest a consultation by zoom with your Mom present.  The doctor can recommend allergy medication or referral to an allergist, and note in the medical chart to have a leukemia blood test at the in-person annual physical.
