This is a dilemma for me. My DH’s nana is 95 years old. She is in reasonable health for her age. She is stuck in her ways, grumpy, selfish and very bossy. I quite like her though, despite all of that (or maybe because of it.)
Anyway, she bullies her daughter, my MIL. My MIL won’t stand up to her ever. I think she’s a bit scared of her, and Dh’s Nana often uses MIL as a messenger, to get her own way.
Nana wants to see DH, and our children (and me, but I’m less important) ASAP. She’s been sending messages via MIL, and she doesn’t care about lockdown. She’s not worried about getting ill, and she says this might be her last summer so she doesn’t want to spend it by herself.
I think she has a point, up to an extent. Nana lives 2 hours away.
I don’t want to go and see her and potentially take the virus to her, I would never forgive myself. Nana thinks that it is entirely her decision, but DH and I disagree. I think we should wait until we get a vaccination, or until the virus is at very low levels in the population. MIL just wants to keep the peace.
I haven’t seen my mum who is in her 70s, and I won’t until I know that she is safe.
I’m interested to hear what other people think.
YABU go and see nana
YANBU do not go and see nana.
