[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP back again.  It looks like we have some resolution... DH told me this afternoon that ILs decided not to come at all.  Maybe it was more DH's wishful thinking that he could convince them to come.  I spoke with my mom this morning, she and my ILs are same generation/same culture and she said "you can tell DH that your ILs can come because no way are they going to."  Looks like Mom does know best.

As to the bigger picture of my DH's issues, yes, I'm aware of them, we've been married for 10 years.  We were in couples therapy when sheltering in place began.  He is 85% okay and 15% WTF crazy, but at least he's willing to go into therapy so hopefully, we can work with the 15% crazy.

Incidentally, I had no idea that infants were at greater risk of covid 19; last I heard was a few weeks ago when they were saying that there were no deaths and only mild symptoms for the under 10 lot.  I thought that if our ILs came, we were putting all of the adults at risk, but I thought the kids would be okay.  Never would I knowingly put my child at serious risk.  And no, I don't compromise on the car seat, I make sure the kids are strapped in before we start driving.  And now that we have a baby, DH sits in the front and no longer fiddles with car seat straps while I'm driving.

Thanks everyone for your advice. [/quote]

For the future: you need to be the most informed, knowledgeable person in the relationship, otherwise you won’t be able to nip things in the bud and barrage him with solid counterarguments. The infant thing was on the news. [/quote]
