Page 2 | Will get vaccine for holiday but not family

@Pedalpushers I absolutely don’t give a shit. It doesn’t completely eliminate are risk, and as I said, unless the op isn’t leaving the house at all she’s being ridiculous. Restrictions will be stopped completely before long, then what? Absolutely had enough of the hysteria.

accidentlygothereagain · 10/02/2022 15:19

YABU OP. I'm sure you've mixed with plenty of unvaccinated people out shopping/ in cafes/ at work etc. I don't think your daughter is selfish for choosing what she puts into her body and her reasonings for doing so.
Why didn't you just ask her to do a lateral flow and go visit your grandchild?

Broads93 · 10/02/2022 15:19

@Veryworried22

this is ridiculous. When all restrictions are dropped some of you will go into utter meltdown at having nothing to control people with. You made the choice to keep yourself away from your grandchild. Deal with it.

This 🙌🏻🙌🏻

Justcallmebebes · 10/02/2022 15:24

If you're vaccinated, why did that stop you seeing your granddaughter? That's on you, not your daughter

Chunkofsquirrel · 10/02/2022 15:37

God people seriously need to stop with the 'unjabbed = infected' bullcrap. It's like HIV and toilet seats all over again.

OP YABU. You're not more likely to catch it from your daughter. Turn off the TV and get to know your new grandchild. Start living!!!

Iwonder08 · 10/02/2022 15:42

You are unreasonable one. You made a choice not to see your grandchild despite being vaccinated.

negomi90 · 10/02/2022 15:50

If she's had a baby then she was pregnant or trying to conceive when the vaccines came out. I know a lot of pro vaccine women who've hesitated on the vaccine due to concerns about vaccines and pregnancy.
She's now not pregnant, it is highly likely that could be influencing the decision.

Butteryflakycrust83 · 10/02/2022 15:54

Your daughter sounds like an utter donut.

fairylightsandwaxmelts · 10/02/2022 15:57

YABU.

You chose not to see your grandchild - nobody forced you to stay away. Your DD is allowed to get the vaccine for whatever reason she likes!

Yeah and OP is right to be annoyed at her stupid reasoning!

Marmunia999 · 10/02/2022 15:59

You may want to look at data which shows the vaccinated are catching it and transmitting it, not to mention developing myocarditis and shingles.

The usual line is 'I'm double vaxxed and got boosted last week. Now I've got Covid. So glad I got jabbed!!' eye roll emoji

Thanks to previous poster for her stats.

@Airyfairymarybeary

YABU for not seeing your grandchild because you disagree with your daughters views! There would have been ways around this but you are obviously too stubborn.

It wasn't about her views though, it was about the risk to OP's health.

IncompleteSenten · 10/02/2022 15:59

You can either see it as she's shown you you are less important to her than a holiday or that she has no choice legally if she wants to go away but you are I assume vaccinated yourself and therefore at much lower risk of being seriously ill if you happened to catch it and could have spent time with them whether she was vaccinated or not but chose not to.

fairylightsandwaxmelts · 10/02/2022 16:00

Yeah and OP is right to be annoyed at her stupid reasoning!

I mean, she can be annoyed all she likes, I guess, but it won't change the fact that it was her choice not to see her granddaughter and nothing at all to do with her DD's vaccine status!

fairylightsandwaxmelts · 10/02/2022 16:00

It wasn't about her views though, it was about the risk to OP's health.

But OP was fully vaccinated.

You can't demand other people get vaccinated for you.

MuffinStrops · 10/02/2022 16:01

@AutumnLeaves21

You’re the unreasonable one. If you’ve had a vaccine, why does it matter that she hadn’t?! I say this as someone triple vaxed. I honestly can’t believe someone would miss out on their new grandchild due to this. I would be so upset if I was your daughter. The world have gone mad, honestly.

Totally agree.

How is it nothing to do with her vaccine status! OP clearly states she had concerns about her health and was *rightly or wrongly) under the impression, as are many people, that vaccinated people are more likely t transmit.

Her daughter knew this, and decided not to vaccinate, but apparently backtracked on her views over a holiday. Which shows you how well thought her thinking was, and how little regard she gave for her mums concerns if shes able to suddenly get over her vaccine views so fast.

And THIS is why people are so pissed off at the government and its "work parties".

When people have missed out on so much due to obeying the rules and this is the end result

She didnt demand.

Her daughter had an (uneducated) view on vaccines and backtracked on them when it then became an inconvenience. Of course OP can be upset. Probably over what a dimwit she raised.

buffyajp · 10/02/2022 16:04

@ajandjjmum

I volunteer in a vaccine centre, and am continually amazed by the idiocy of some people. 'Don't want it, but I've got to get it because I'm getting married in the Caribbean', 'Being made to have it to go on holiday'. My tongue is sore from the number of times I've had to bite it!

Sorry your DD has behaved like this - I too would be hurt.

Her daughter is fully entitled to make whatever decision about her own body she likes for whatever reason she likes. She didn’t stop op from seeing her granny, the op made that decision for herself as she, too is entitled too. The op does not get to blame her daughter however for her own decision.

buffyajp · 10/02/2022 16:09

[quote Pedalpushers]@AutumnLeaves21 because vaccines aren't 100% protective and someone unvaccinated is more likely to have Covid to pass on to you? But whatever the reasoning, at least OP has been consistent whereas her daughter has been a hypocrite.[/quote]
Yes but getting the vaccine prevents you from getting a disease more seriously so therefore the risk is greatly reduced. Otherwise what the hell is the point in any vaccination. If the op believes in the vaccine then she should trust it enough to do it’s job and prevent her getting seriously I’ll if she does get Covid.

Agree completely

lambchop81 · 10/02/2022 16:12

@tinkletoots

DD refused to get vaccine due to not knowing what was in it so I have not seen new grandchild as I did not wish to meet if she was unvaccinated due to my own health (ofcourse things are now changing and now living with the virus cautiously).

She has announced she will now get vaccinated as she wants to go on holiday.
AIBU to think I have missed out on seeing my grandchild when all along she was capable of being vaccinated.

I would never to that to my mum that's very. So sorry you haven't seen your new grand baby. My mum would come first over anything especially a holiday ❤️
