Parents won't see us until we are all negative

So myself, hubby and two children all have covid at the moment. We've thankfully all had it mildly but are all testing positive 9 days on. I'm aware that without symptoms, you don't have to keep testing beyond day 10. The problem is my parents won't see any of us until we test negative. I totally understand they don't want to get it as they're late 60s but we could go on testing positive for ages yet. They help with childcare so we can work so it's going to make things quite difficult and we can't afford to pay for childcare right now. I don't want to stress my parents out and it's obviously their choice. They're amazing providing childcare but I'm also worrying about work. AIBU?

That's the problem when you rely on in laws or parents for childcare

Their rules. Not yours, not the government's. Theirs.

Our dipshit inlaws still won't see us indoors because we're not quadruple boostered 😂 Apparently we may be blessed with their company, outdoors in the summer if we're lucky 😂 I think I might have to have Covid that day!

Wow I wouldn’t want to see you ever, you sound vile.

Dipshit because they don't want to get a potentially fatal disease? You sound like a charm.

I thought the same. I wouldn't particularly want to see that person either. The in laws are not dipshit (how insulting is that), they are just cautious and rightly so.

“Our dipshit inlaws still won't see us indoors because we're not quadruple boostered“

Or, perhaps, a convenient excuse Grin
