[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If you are ok with your kids possibly infecting your parents go ahead. If you love your parents you probably don’t want to do that. [/quote]

STOP.

It’s fine.[/quote]

NP here.  YOU STOP THE CRAP.  Covid infections are on the rise and elderly people are still dying.  It’s so fricking far from “fine”.  [/quote]

Another NP. It's not fine. Honestly, how would you feel if your parents got sick? We are refusing to see either set of parents because they are all older and one of them has a ton of comorbitities. How can you be so flippant?[/quote]

NP.  Seriously, how long are some of you willing to go without seeing your parents, especially those who are local or within easy driving distance?  There's no guarantee that we are getting a vaccine in the next year.  Promising info and outlooks, but no guarantee.  
We are doing as much as we can to stay safe, but my parents have already told me that they think being able to spend time with their only child and grandchildren is worth the risk.[/quote]

Another NP here. I completely understand concerns of those who don't want to see grandparenrs and grandparents who don't want to see grandchildren. But ... if the grandparents are OK with the risk why is it irresponsible? People should make their own decisions about risk and gathering with a *small* family group does not violate cdc guidelines.  Can you imagine the outrage on this board if MIL told mom that she should put kid to sleep on her stomach  and then when in and moved the grandkids because mom didn't listen! Parents make decisions for their minor children. Adult children should not make decisions for their mentally capable parents. [/quote]
