I have not. It’s been very hard but I just can’t take that chance and my mom is healthy also. But I’m too scared
I keep my 3 grandsons and have since they were born. My daughter is a nurse and has to work. It just depends on circumstances. I wouldn’t have it any other way.
No … you should not be socializing with anyone who doesn’t live in your home. Only interact with others when necessary (grocery shopping etc)
I think if you are all self isolating, you could visit after two weeks. However, if anyone goes anywhere for anything, the two weeks need to begin again
My hand children come to visit
Ask the Grandparents!! The people you are asking to help make your families decision are not family and therefore not emotionally involved. Really??
I believe that is a family decision as the risks are to the children and the grandparents. Yes they are healthy NOW but the exposure and virus can live past 14 days so unless you all have been quarantined the 14 days and all are still healthy, I wouldn’t take the risk. Our loved ones are too precious to cause illness or death without meaning to.
Well my kids grandfather lives with us hes 66 & my mom doesnt visit us cause she doesnt want to risk getting it and she’s 61.
Absolutely NOT! What don’t you get about stay at home order?
My grandparents live literally right across the street and my kids haven’t been over there. They’ve facetimed and used walkie talkies thru the window but have NOT had any personal contact. If they fall into the “highest risk” category or not it’s still better to be safe than sorry
No. Did you not hear about social distancing? If one of your parents gets sick, how will you feel?
The elderly are the most vulnerable so no.
Nope we’ve been using google duo
I downloaded it on my moms phone before this got bad for this reason.
No! Stay in if you can! Jesus what is wrong with people??
Since we are isolating and not going out, and they are as well, we jointly decided it was ok to continue our typical routine. My son is also only 18m and does not attend a daycare/school. We have all be super careful and very much isolated for the past few weeks so we jointly decided it was ok.
No, not unless they are together daily like I am with my grandkids, I am their Daycare Provider
Play window tic tack toe,… dont go inside though.
I take my 10 month old to my grandmas house every Saturday. It’s the only time she can see him because we live a little over an hour away.
We do. My in laws live about 20-30 minutes from us and we’ve been going over there like normal (every other day).
Honestly, that depends. My Ma (grandma) lives right next door to us, and we are back and forth between each others houses on a daily basis, neither of us really go anywhere unless it’s together (I drive her around for errands, and offer to take her with me when I need to go somewhere so she can get out of the house). So I mean, it depends on the situation honestly. If you guys are already around them on a daily basis and they are okay with it, then why not? If the grandparents aren’t okay with it, or you guys aren’t already around each other daily then maybe it would be best to wait a bit.
No please keep them at home ,and keep them safe just keep sending us those cute pictures !!!
No, the visit can wait.
It’s like pneumonia now if not monitored correctly it causes concrete in the lungs but if they don’t want to go to doctor I would not suggest it
No there is to be no social gatherings
Yeah, like the women in the grocery store the other day, hauling their kids behind them,that is isolating? Think again,but be sure and don’t go to grandmas house!
All people have their own opinions, just do what you think is best
I miss my grandchildren so so bad… today has been the worst…
Am I going to go and visit them?..no
I would rather miss them for a few weeks,rather to risk any cross contamination…
Yes and actually did. Even spent the night.
No I wouldn’t. I know it sucks my mom parents and mamaw luve about 15 minutes from us were usually over there everyday. We haven’t seen then in 2 weeks and it sucks but I dont want to risk anything
I wish, but I know better not to ask. My grandpa is high risk.
Not a good idea.I have 3 grandchildren .talk on phone and face time only.no contact.Miss them being here every weekend but.NO
No mum is perfectly healthy as far as we know let’s not forget there is a incubation time !!! We all seem healthy too but STOP THE SPREAD STAY INSIDE !!!
STAY HOME!! do not take a chance
That’s the whole point of staying home. TO STAY AWAY FROM PEOPLE!
Lol no. Everyone should be in their houses.
My mom works directly with the public so I have quarantined my kids away from her. She’s upset but she completely understands, gotta keep my babies healthy
We have often. But only bc they’re not going anywhere and they’re not elderly. Also, we live at my moms & my brother goes back and forth between homes bc of the custody agreement so… yeah. That’s my point.
No I personally haven’t and the kids missing seeing their grandparents and I miss my parents but its not worth the risk to their health
Personally, I would not. My son and I are high risk, and my father is as well. None of us are leaving our houses unless we absolutely have to.
Since it’s only a couple blocks, maybe have a “parade.” Ask Grandma and Grandpa to decorate their car with streamers and drive by while the kids are outside to wave to them. Keeps social distancing and is fun. Also, FaceTime.
I roll my eyes big time at people thinking they’re an exception. Social distancing will never come to an end at that point
I would. If they are not at high risk or struggling with a compromised immune system I would say there is no reason not to.
No! I nanny for a pediatrician and the kids and I are staying completely to ourselves. This is a very dangerous virus. You or the kids could be a carrier and not even know it.
Way too many st#pid people in the world that don’t listen. Don’t you all know what stay at home means? Obviously not because you all are venturing to other people’s houses.
Maybe to the front yard and grandparents stay on porch just so they could see and talk to each other, but no touching, stay at least 6 feet away
No we are staying at home and not going to see anyone.
My daughter went and stayed with her grandma that lives over a hour away for a couple of days
No ma’am definitely not be you can’t take care that Risk
NO THEY WILL NOT DIE IF THEY DONT SEE OUMA EN OUPA…BUT OUMA EN OUPA CAN DIE SEEING THEIR GRANDKIDS,BECAUSE YOU DONT KNOW IF YOU HAVE THE VIRUS YET. OLD PEOPLES IMMUNE IS VERY LOW. Do whatsapp calling you turn your camera and they can see each other.
It’s a risk for both young and old. You have doubts, otherwise, you wouldn’t seek an answer. Er to caution!
My son and grandson live next door. We video chat or stand outside away from each other. I am not taking any chances with their health or lives.
What part of “stay home” don’t you understand???
I take my son to see his grandparents, but keep in mind they are shut-ins and they are litterally the only 2 people we socialize with and have been for the last 30 days.
We live around the corner from my parents. We were at their house every day during my son’s spring break when all this blew up so we’ve all been isolated as a group for nearly two weeks even if my son and I go home every day.
Currently staying with mine😂
If. They are being careful and honor your wishes. Yes, not no.
Mike FernandezI’m telling you babe, we shouldn’t go over there anymore!
For everybody that is saying no. Do you not realize alot of parents are still working and relying on grandparents right now for childcare??
First you should only ask grandparents the question. As a grandparent I’m saying no. I miss them alot but have to say no.
No. Quarantine and social distancing as long. Even young healthy people are getting it. It only takes one person to have it or carry it and your kids could get it or you or the grands. It’s not worth the risk. Download Skype
Going to my mom’s later 🤷
YOU’RE A FUCKING IDIOT
For firstly risking your children’s life whether they are healthy ect they can still die think about that and you won’t be there whilst they are dying due to preventing the spread they could catch it and could die on there own with a stranger scared and anxious and worried
Secondly your family could have the virus and not know and then you all can get it and pass it on to healthy people but people like me who are vulnerable and my baby boy and other peoples children how selfish are you there’s a reason people are on lockdown grow up before you kill your children and other families and children
As a grandparent I would be upset if I didn’t see my grandchildren
Guess you do t understand the words… Stay the fuck home
Nooe, not even a chance I would.
Not at all.Used the phone.
No. You could lol them with kindness. Please, I am a grandma. Zoom or facetalk.
I would but would stay at a distance. Nothing in the air but good air, in the country.
My mother would kill me if she didn’t get to see her grand babies … depends on where u live and how how many cases y’all got
My kids see their grandparents, but only because we all live in a huge compound style house together. My parents house is built onto our garage on 63 acres 10 miles out of town. None of us have been to town or will be until this is over. We are all quarantined up here together. We are in a different situation. If my parents lived in town, no I would not.
No no no. Face time, phone call. Why would u even think of risking it?? Stay home means stay home. If you dont have to work, if you are not forced to stay at ur job because your job is seen as "essential ", then just stay home.
Listen to the government…listen to the health care system. Wtf is wrong with people. STAY HOME IF YOU ARENT MADE TO GO TO WORK. if your bird…take a nap. Lol. Seriously. How crappy would u feel if you went over there and then a week or two later your parent got sick??? It would suck u would feel horrible , all because u wanted to hang out. Nope. Dont do it.
No. Not at all. Let them video chat.
No. FaceTime is a great option during this time!
No I don’t I couldn’t even see my mom for mother’s Day they ain’t old to but I’m not risking it with my kids they miss my mom an dad but we’re sticking to what we been told just facetime or something like that yeh it’s heartbreaking but it’s safe
And this right here is why it is spreading… I guess we can all enjoy our quarantine a little longer cause she needs to take her kids for a visit!! Thank you so much for your lack of common sense. Clearly the people with medical degrees and all the folks who died clearly don’t know what they are talking about…
Wash hands before you go and when you come back.
Maybe take them over there and visit through a window or FaceTime if possible.
Nope, I wanna stay home with my kids. Unfortunately I still have to work, so hi ho hi ho it’s off to school they go and that is all
I take my kids to my moms house. my mom will literally come and get my oldest though if she doesn’t see her for a couple days. Lol my mom is 40 and my step dad is 50. We usually go over there at least 3 times a week. We haven’t been as much but still going at least once a week. I went to see my step mom yesterday but I called and asked before we went. She is 39 and my dad is 40. I will not go to my grandparents house down the road or my husbands grandmothers a couple houses down though. My grandparents are in their 60s and my husbands grandmother is in her 70s-80s I believe. I also have not had my husbands mom over since she is working in the hospital ER and been exposed. My kids and I are at home all day every day and I don’t really go to the store either unless I absolutely have to. My husband is still working but he’s not around the general public.
People like you are the reason we have stay at home orders or lockdowns.
Nope. Don’t risk it. Facetime. Skype. Zoom. Don’t visit
Definitely not Especially after the video I have just seen! Please please take this seriously xx
No. Why risk it. People can be carriers and not get sick. I told my daughter to keep her kids home.
I took my kids to see their great grandma. My grandma thinks the whole thing is stupid lol. And she said their was way worse stuff when she was younger and no body acted like this. Might be why the older people are the ones out enjoying life. While the younger ones are home scared of everything. Lol.
No. No. Nope and definitely No. Too risky.
If u value there grandparents u wont it’s a though answer
No, no no! Please no!
Just because people are not old doesn’t mean they won’t die. Your kids and parents are safer apart.
I’m a nana of 7 grandkids my daughter in law would not let the kids come and visit me because of my health issues … this was b4 it got awful today I’m happy she kept them home !!! We video chat daily and that’s great and its working out wonderful so please stay home
My daughter says no to visit with kids. She doesn’t want me to get sick. Love them all.
I’m not bc I am high risk, we are face timing til then
Just because they are healthy right now does not mean they don’t have the virus. Remember it takes 14-15 days to SHOW signs. You can have it and not even know it.
I would not risk it. Before this all broke out I was going to go see my mom. So she could see her 4th grandson. But once this came to the pubic attention I told her sorry I wasn’t coming.
- Because she is in her 80s and I would not risk getting her sick.
- I will not risk my 4 boys getting sick.
- I put all my family above what I really want to do. Especially if it can harm them if I choose to be selfish.
- I only go out if I have to other then that I stay home. 5. Because I just dont want to protect my family but others as well.
I won’t. My parents aren’t elderly or in poor health, but we are hearing about more and more cases of critically ill people who were young with no significant medical history prior. I’m a respiratory therapist and know that there is realistically a high chance that I already have been or will be exposed to COVID-19, so that plays a large part in my decision as well.
I’m surprised how many moms here are saying no. When the same question is asked about kids seeing their fathers women here attack her for trying to use covid19 as an excuse for parental alienation. Just shows how much society enables men. The child’s health means nothing when it comes to their father but it means everything when it comes to grandparents.
I agree you should practice social distancing. Unless you need to leave your home to sustain life, buy food, supplies, work, you shouldn’t leave. Less ppl leaving their homes, taking germs around others or being around germs the better.
Maybe you could visit each other on different sides of the windows at least 6 feet away. Wear gloves and masks and roll balls to each other from a safe distance (6’ plus). Then they could visit your yard while you stay on the inside of your windows. Talk by phone while you look at each other through the glass.
Create outdoor messages (chalk on sidewalk, arranged pine cones on a lawn, signs they can see from a balcony, etc) that they can see from their place without leaving the house. Write old fashioned letters back and forth or send pictures the kids have drawn. Have the grandparents read stories over the phone.
No,don’t be stupid,call them on the phone
Get Skype it is not worth it!
Not unless I already quarantined for 2 weeks and didn’t have any symptoms. If you’ve been out in public or public places (grocery stores, pharmacy, etc.) then, no.
She is just asking for advice not criticism. U dont know the entire reason behind the question. She could of been asked by the grandparents too see the kids. And she is torn. Dont jump too conclusions and stop being rude and disrespectful.
