[quote=Anonymous]It sounds like your DH is being so unreasonable I'm sure none of the following are much help but:

1) If your parents in law get sick because they refuse to stay home this absolutely is not YOUR fault.
2) Scheduling a Telehealth call with pediatrician and your husband is a good idea if you can anticipate your pediatrician will recommend taking precautions around newborn. Newborns are vulnerable- not sure why your DH is brushing off concerns. Even if a baby does not die from COVID it might become really sick and we don't understand all the long term health implications. My pediatrician has recommended no visitors for the first 3-6 months amid current context.
3) I know your DH does not seem into compromise but I think you could really put your foot down about grandparents needing to quarantine before coming. This is a very reasonable request. I suppose the issue is that they might not follow it. This would not be fair on you but if the grandparents do come, is there a place you could go with newborn for two weeks while the rest of family quarantines in your apartment?
4) Have you guys ever done couples therapy? Could you have a conversation about this that is virtually moderated by a couples therapist?

I'm so sorry you have to go through this right now. It sounds very difficult and hurtful. I'm also concerned about your DH's attitude generally towards the safety of your children. [/quote]
