[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This poster is nuts and is making things up. [/quote
I couldn’t  make this up if i tried. And why would I want to? It’s weird and scary and intense for our family. [/quote]

Clearly your sister is feeling a great deal of postpartum stress and worry about her newborn baby during the pandemic. She feels that others are not sufficiently cautious. As another poster noted, had she let your family be around her baby when you complained previously, the baby may have been exposed to Omicron. (Your posts indicate that family members had it in January.) So she may feel that she's had close calls. And for all we know, the nanny's son is unvaccinated or hangs out in bars and it freaked her out.

Bottom line is that your sister needs therapy to help her navigate postpartum anxiety. It's a scary time to have a newborn. She needs support and not criticism. I'm sure you love your sister, but your postings show a lot of judgment and exasperation. Please try to find it within yourself to be kinder. Right now she may feel alone and that the family is against her. Try to have some empathy for someone who seems to be suffering.
