Sooo, my MIL was watching our son every Friday so my husband and I could go run our errands like grocery shopping and get some time to ourselves. But ever since this virus crap has been going around, we cut off visiting at our house and we haven't been going over to their house. Especially because her daughter works at a grocery store so she is right in the "line of fire" for this crap.

When we originally told her she won't be able to see him for a while, she kept saying that she understands and that she would feel awful if she got him or one of us sick. But every time we video chat her she always asks when we are going to let her see him. And obviously we don't know. She says that she and everyone in their house has been feeling fine, but we all know that's not how this works...

So yesterday we took a drive around town just to get out of the house and we decided to let her see him through the car window... And she offered to watch him this Friday (today) so we could run our errands... Once again we had to explain to her that her daughter works with the public and lives in her house. Just because they all feel fine dose not mean they don't have it. She just threw her hands up in the air and walked back into the house. My husband called her when. We got home and she broke down crying because she misses him so much and we "won't let her" see him.

I know this is hard on her not seeing him, but my child's health is my first priority. I am not willing to risk it. I just don't know how else to explain this to her. We aren't blaming my SIL for anything, or punishing my MIL... I'm just not willing to risk my son getting sick he's 5 months old.

Any ideas on how to get through to her?
