[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It’s been 3 months and my daughter won’t let us lay a finger on the baby. We’ve seen him twice, and that was only after COVID tests and double masking outdoors- could only look at him. My daughter says as long as “it’s a pandemic and the baby isn’t vaccinated for it, no one will be able to touch him.” I think she needs therapy to manage her anxiety. It’s distressing. [/quote]
If you’re positive that pandemic anxiety is the sole reason behind this (and not just not wanting less than helpful visitors) then you should help your daughter. She is suffering from extreme PPA/PPD and probably doesn’t realize it. She needs you to help her.[/quote]

It’s hard to help someone who believes she is 100% right. She wouldn’t  let her dad  (my husband) join the outdoor viewings as a punishment essentially, because he no longer wears masks when going to stores, in public etc. They only leave their home to take the baby to the doctor. I pity my grandson.[/quote]

I’m starting to see your daughters side. It’s not punishment to tell someone they can’t visit your newborn after going around to stores unmasked in the fags beforehand. I’d have told my dad no also. And if my mom eye rolled and viewed that as “punishment” and said things like “I pity your child”, I’d use the pandemic as an excuse to not have them over.

If you’re not a troll, call her OB and voice your concerns for PPA/PPD. There is ALWAYS something you can do to help a mentally ill  loved one even if they don’t believe they’re sick. But it sounds like you just eye roll at her not wanting her baby to get sick. [/quote]
