Family trying to visit

NSAman

Simple, make the in-laws sign a contract stating that all future costs of any infection will result in ALL costs for medical care and personal losses be passed onto them.

Umm..

However, we will be able to consider an application one month from the date of recovery or completion of self-isolation if you have no residual complications and have returned to normal activities.

You just proved that poster right. No insurer will hold a covid-19 diagnosis against you for the rest of your life - its totally absurd and would never get past the courts.

Personally, I think that as the visits are in breach of the covid restrictions then it is up to the householder where any visits are happening.
So if the OP is uncomfortable with the visits to his own home, then that should be respected.

I also think that this issue should be discussed between the OP and his wife and a decision made and once made then that becomes their joint decision. Otherwise, the situation could lead to resentment down the road.

Thanks folks, as i thought everyone has a different opinion.

Its not an easy decision, the name calling etc. is also not helpful.

Thanks to those who gave constructive advice.

Happy Easter.

It's not breaking restrictions, childcare is allowed as a reason to travel.

Personally I would allow them to visit. I'm all for sticking to the rules but two vaccinated grandparents pose a completely negligible risk to anyone in the OPs house, and any parent will know a little help with a newborn goes a long way.

That's ignoring the conflict being caused within the family too.

I thought that the OP clarified that it wasn't for childcare but rather social visits.

But that doesn't stop them from transmitting the virus to others.

completely negligible risk is not no risk

Will you pay for the little white coffin then ?

To hell with them and conflict and shunning and and and , it's your main job to look after that baby

Is there a compromise that could be reached? Like getting the grandparents to isolate themselves for 3 or 4 days and then take an antigen test (they work out about a tenner each) before they come down? That should reduce the risk further and give you peace of mind.

Wow. What a completely OTT remark.

I seriously question some people on boards when I read stuff like this.

Bizarre, borderline insane comment. Christ.

Nothing in life has no risk. When they got into the car to bring the baby home there was risk (however tiny). When you step outside your front door every day there is risk (however tiny) you might get struck by lightning.

Except getting into the car to bring your baby home is a necessary risk.

That's grand so, never go out of your house again and isolate from everyone as you pretty certainly transmitted flu which killed someone in the past. And more likely to have killed a baby with flu than COVID.

Where can you get such tests?

Covid is a nice excuse to avoid the in laws.

My brother's wife has been cocooning my mother since they got married 20 years ago.

It's a much larger risk than having your vaccinated grandparents visit.

Everything the government told us so far has been wrong.
We are in day 380+ of our 14 day flattening the curve while health care got ready.
We'd be doing a million vaccines a month it's more like 250K now

We might all be vaccinated by June then again it could be September. The kid will only be this stage one I'd let them visit.

That’s another level of fear mongering

It's a newborn baby.

How many life insurance firms are on record as saying they will be taking medical info going back to the newborn stage into perpetuity? And how unlikely is it that will still be a question in 2050+ when the newborn in question here goes for insurance?

It's such a silly thing to think, let alone post as a fact under things to worry about and as a reason why newborn babies should be kept apart from their grandparents

Just a general FYI since some people seem to think Covid poses a serious risk to the health of small children. It absolutely does not. There is no need for fearmongering.

From the same page you posted :



However, there is an urgent need to collect more data on longer-term impacts of the pandemic on children, including ways the virus may harm the long-term physical health of infected children



I wouldn't think many grandparents have dropped dead because they couldn't visit their grandchildren
