[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Personally I found it super annoying when my in-laws were laser-focused on showing off my baby like some kind of trophy so I would just say no because why should I have to worry about my baby's health for your vanity?[/quote]

[b]Because the baby belongs to them too[/b]?  Because it isn’t a risk to anyone’s health?[/quote]

uhh, excuse me?[/quote]

First PP here LOL. Grandparents that want to spend time with their grandchildren should have some respect for the children's parents who are the ones dealing with late night wakings and changing diapers. It doesn't matter what your own personal views about the risks of Covid are or any other parenting issue. What the parents say goes, because they are the ones who decide how much effort they will put in to give children time with their grandparents. For us, seeing our in-laws has meant driving 5 hours with a screaming baby who hates the car. We do it because we do love them despite their faults, but it is our choice in the end. If your priority is showing off a young baby to your friends in person during a pandemic, I'd say your priorities are off, even if it's theoretically "safe". How about focusing on actually spending time with your grandchild?[/quote]
