[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If you are vaccinated then I don't understand what you are worried about. Them not being vaccinated shouldn't hurt you.[/quote]

Did you miss where OP says she has 2 unvaccinated children, and one who will be only partially vaxxed?
Unfortunately, for those of us with very young children, this is still a consideration.  [b]Especially with required quarantines if those children become close contacts to covid[/b].[/quote]

OP have you mentioned this issue with your parents?  They may never come to an agreement with you on the need for vaccination for health reasons, but the disruption to your lives in terms of missing school and work days due to mandatory quarantine is a real issue.  This kind of gets away from the idea of whether they should vaccinate for health reasons (which will launch an argument) and into consequences for you and your family that you legally can’t get out of.[/quote]

I agree with this, we had to take a similar stand against travelling to visit DH's family earlier this fall (his parents are vaccinated but at the time several other family members were not).  A couple of times we got a "but Covid is harmless to kids!" to which DH eventually responded, "even IF that were true, are one of you going to come watch our kids for two weeks if you expose them to Covid?"
