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?

This board tends to attract a lot of people with control freak tendencies. I'm fully vaccinated as of this week, as is my wife. Our kids aren't high risk. I'm taking the kids to Florida for spring break, and my parents are waffling on whether they'll get vaccinated before we come down. It's their call, and their risk. I can't guaranty that the kids won't asymptomatically infect them, but if that happens it's not on my conscience. [/quote]

Well, if your kids give your parents COVID and they die, at least you won’t feel bad about it. ...are you for real?  :roll: [/quote]
