[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My parents (age 68 and 69) continue to travel all over the place, dine out with other couples, beach travel, shopping, gyms, the works. And they want to come visit my kids. I am very skeptical of doing this particularly since they are coming from one of the states seeing an increase in number of infections [/quote]

Please put your kids and yourself and spouse ahead of your parents. Listen to your gut and do not let them visit. They have been doing everything to expose themselves to the virus. If you and/or spouse gets it from them, you are even less able to look after your own kids, and you certainly wouldn't have infected grandparents able to help look after them....Zoom, Skype, FaceTime, whatever, but be firm with them. For your kids' sakes. I'm betting your folks will guilt you (are they they types to say, we've done all this and feel fine! We promise no hugs! You're overreacting! etc.?). Please don't cave in to it. They are either choosing willful ignorance or they are genuinely unable to grasp that their age and activities and location mean they are ripe for infection, even if they have zero pre-existing conditions. I'm so sorry. Kids and spouse before parents. Family you made before family of birth, unfortunately, if the family of birth is behaving dangerously. And they are.[/quote]
