[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How old is the baby? Under 8 weeks without *any* shots, I would be that way also.

1. Drop off a meal, cookies or flowers. Leave them on the porch or have them delivered. Something that she'll appreciate
2. Give her some time
3. Tell her husband to be supportive
4. Suggest to husband that they ask at the baby's wellness appointments what the baby's doctor says is safe

Good luck - I feel for everyone here. Not easy to navigate.[/quote]

Over 8 weeks and has had first round of shots
She will not accept food. We tried previously to drop off things to her. She believes it’s a COVID risk. She is still wiping down Amazon packages with Clorox wipes, etc. i am not trying to make fun of her- just trying to convey where she is at.
Dh is in a tough position because he has gone along with her preferences since March 2020. But like many of us, he’s ready for a gradual but eventual return to normalcy. He has not seen any of his family in 2 years because “they” weren’t comfortable with any travel. He suggested driving a ridiculously long way to see his sickly relative on lieu of flying (even though flying safer in all aspects) she said he can drive only if he will not stop. No rest stops no bathrooms, drive through food only and using the bathroom off the side of the road i guess.

He's going to have to force the issue here. That's the bottom line. Unfortunately, I think she can legitimately use the excuse of the baby up to 6 months. But he can take a first step by going to see his relative.[/quote]
