I am much less concerned with my kids catching COVID from them. My main concern is with us getting them sick which is something my parents don't see as a risk. They see the rest of my unvaccinated/anti covid vax family all the time including my nieces and nephews who are all playing sports and going to school. My family would think we were insane if we stayed at a hotel and only saw them masked. We aren't crazy conservative with Covid, but  still don't want the guilt of getting my parents sick. [/quote]
Your parents are making their own decisions on the risks they’re willing to take. They’re adults.

Either visit them, or don’t. But, don’t blame it on their decision on what risks they’re willing to take.[/quote]

I totally agree.  My in-laws refuse to get vaccinated, and my position is that it is their risk to take.  They are adults making an autonomous decision, and while I don't agree with their decision, this is their choice.  We have been visiting them, and I always let them know before hand that DS played in a soccer tournament etc so that they understand their potential exposure.  If they get covid, I'm not going to feel guilty.  I don't really understand the threats and manipulation I see other posters recommend.  Am I in the minority, or just in the minority among posters on this thread?

I don’t know if we’re in the minority, but I agree with both posts. She states she’s not worried about her kids, so she’s refusing to visit because she disagrees with their choices and is punishing them for it. At some point we have to stop the altruistic nonsense of sacrificing all these things to protect people who don’t want to be protected. Let them make the choice what risks they want to take.
