With Covid, d o you visit your parents/grandparents with your LO?

Due to covid, I never bring my 21months old girl back to my mum's + grandma's place for a month. I miss them and likewise they miss my LO too. I think it's reasonable for me to go back once a month but my husband doesn't agree. He thinks that we should only go back when the cases drops to hundreds. No right or wrong here but wanna hear from other parents out there. What will you do?

Glad to know there are other mummies like me! Baby is few months old now and I'm not comfortable bringing baby to visit our folks. The last time we did so, my FIL didn't wear mask, and two days later his workplace was declared in the news as a major cluster, and he later told us he came into close contact with a covid positive friend. I was sooooo terrified and paranoid for days after that, and feeling so angry and upset at myself and my husband for not asking my FIL put on his mask (his place, his rules). But...FIL keeps asking us over. Dunno how to deal with it.

My in laws will ask on a weekly basis and we just keep rejecting. We know that they miss their grandchildren and we miss our parents too. But as long as our kids can’t get vaccinated, we will have to do what we can do, especially since the cases are so high now. If your in laws are agreeable to wearing mask at home and no sharing of food, I guess it can help to bring down the risk for both sides. Our children are important but our parents are equally important.
