This has irreparably broken my sister and BIL’s trust and relationship with her ILs. It’s taking everything in me not to lay into her MIL on Facebook on her behalf. And understandably so. I don't know how I could ever trust my ILs again. Have they apologized to your sister/BIL at all? Or are they hiding under a rock, pretending it's no big deal? Not that it really matters. Refer to line one of my response.

My district is not on the list in the NY times article but it should be. We're at 6 cases and are still on full remote from that.

Rebel that is such a tough situation for your sister. Good thing she has you as a support system. I would be angry. I really don't understand how people think they can make choices like this that impact their own children's lives. My DH's uncle dropped by with his kids unannounced. I didn't answer the door. Who goes visiting without calling first during a pandemic? They think they get to choose who my family sees during this pandemic?? I would likely have ignored it even in regular times.

Holy ducking shit Rebel I can’t even wrap my head around that. I’m so sorry for your sister and her family. Even here at my hospital we separate the mom and baby but it turns out the moms can actually refuse the separation and I had no idea. I’m sure they don’t even tell them they can refuse, which is pretty shitty. So even if her hospital says it’s their protocol, I would dig deeper if she’s really against separation and find out how “required” it is. But 99% of the covid babies we have gotten have needed NICU intervention in some manner- I think maybe 1-2 out of the whole bunch didn’t, so they would have come regardless.

Refer to line one of my response. They have not apologized. I’m tempted to go SUPER passive aggressive on her MIL’s fb wall. Something like “how are y’all feeling? Are you freaking out like sister is since y’all were exposed and sick before you came to visit her?” Or something. I’m just so angry on her behalf.

Good to know re:refusing separation! Sister is a NICU nurse, which means she is also out of work. She was planning on stopping working at 38 weeks, but is now done till she comes back after mat leave.

I obviously wouldn’t say anything if I knew it was going to upset your sister, but if she doesn’t care, then I’d be direct in an ice cold way in my assessment of how shitty the ILs are.

I couldn't read that Rebel and not comment. Your sister and her family are in my thoughts, I hope everyone stays healthy. I hate her IL's so much and I don't even know them.

OMG Rebel, I'm so sorry for your sister. Holy shit that just ramped up my anxiety on her behalf. If they're in NC, I'll volunteer to go place a flaming bag of dog poop on their porch. What absolute a-holes.

Wow. I'm so sorry for everyone having to deal with the repercussions of the actions from inconsiderate family members. I hope everyone that isn't sick stays healthy and that everyone that is sick stays mild and gets better quickly.

Oh man. This makes me grateful for my kids' teachers. Everything is very streamlined in G suite and I only have to intervene as tech support.

dc2london Minerva: Uncaripswife and my school district sent an email this morning that made it sound like they are trying to bring back spec ed and k-2 for in person at the beginning of Q2 in November. Have you been hearing similar rumblings?

Yeah I’d be worried about adding any more stress at all to your sisters life but IF I could do it I would list out all the things she/the baby may go through like separation, missed medical care, basically everything in your first post so that all their friends could see what a caring grandma and grandpa they are.

Have you been hearing similar rumblings? Our school board had a Return-to-School meeting last night. Life is crazy and I haven’t followed up on what they’ve decided. The plan, however, was to start a cohort-based return to school plan in early October for students most in need of in-person instruction. They’re bringing back the preschool special ed classes, the centers for students with developmental delays and the students in self-contained classrooms, some vocational high school programs, and ESOL students who have been in the school system for less than a year over the next month. The special ed students who are mainstreamed in gen ed (like DS) will be virtual for the duration. They haven’t discussed plans to bring them back yet.

Paul Rand is a piece of shit. My friends' husband worked for Paul awhile ago and has him on this pedestal that really irks me every time he posts. My friend is super liberal so their relationship is so interesting to me.

My 4th graders class got sent home for a 14 day quarentine. The girl next to her was out yesterday and today so idk. It could have been someone else though. Dr wont test without fever.
My 3rd and K are still supposed to go in person which seems asinine. But the school has a whole protocol so I guess I just trust the process.
We had it in June/July so I also have no idea if we have any immunity left. Having lots of mixed feelings.
Eta: they made it 2 weeks to the day of starting in person and masks except for lunch and outdoor PE
