[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is definitely unusual, but I’m hesitant to assume it’s OP’s parents being crazy.  [b]OP and their spouse don’t sound like they have their shit together at all[/b], and it’s possible they’ve been ignoring some concerning symptoms and OP’s parents don’t trust OP and their spouse to handle this responsibly.[/quote]

This is true, but why is OP's mom not sharing the specifics of her concern?[/quote]

The mom might be concerned that if she tells OP, OP will blow it off and either not take the daughter to the doctor, or won’t accurately relay the mom’s concerns, family history, etc.

It’s also possible that the mom is completely inappropriately overstepping here, but people who don’t have their shit together leave themselves vulnerable to that. The easy solution would be for OP to stop using their parents as free childcare while OP and their spouse indulge their career whims, but it doesn’t sound like OP wants to give up that luxury.[/quote]
