Thank you, and I am so tired of people dismissing this pandemic. It's an international crisis that is a killer and people that aren't taking it seriously are making matters worse. I like the park idea, thank you. I especially like the park idea because they can't drink at the park. They are both big drinkers and will want to stay for hours and drink and talk like normal if they come to our house. Everyone knows what happens to one's judgment when they drink. Not only will the 6 feet apart get ignored, but they also will not be wearing face masks, after traveling, staying in hotels, and eating at restaurants.. Sorry not sorry.

World's worst DIL.

Says annoying stupid MIL.

No. It's her husband's family. I think that Op should just hide in a closet until the visit is over.

No, your in-laws are your family. Maybe not as important to OP as her blood relatives family but give me a break with this nonsense. We get that OP doesn't like them, sure, ok whatever. But if they're willing to stay in the driveway or on the porch what's the damage? I am sure if her neighbor or a friend stopped by to chat, she would chat with them. Have some decency OP. They're your childrens' grandparents.

OR you meet at a park, someplace close enough to their hotel that when they need the restroom, they leave and go back to the hotel to use the restroom. You can figure this out.

Have them wear a mask if they need to go inside your home to use the restroom. At this point, we have stopped trying to completely isolate. We flattened the curve. That was the goal. We are wearing masks, avoiding crowds, and washing hands constantly. But we had two of our adult kids in our home yesterday. Small groups are ok. But again, your house, your rules.

True. But your situation is different. The risk to your kids is low; and the risk you will die and leave young children without a parent is zero.

No, the risk to the kids is very low to 0. The risk that one of them will die and leave young children starts going up at age 25, but relatively low until you hit 50, and then it starts going up.

The grandparents seem to understand they are engaging in risky behavior for their age. I would have them visit outside and no hugs/contact. No coming in the house, lock the doors if you have to.
