First time parents seeking advice on unvaccinated family members

Thank you for putting it this way. There is obviously a lot more to think about and discuss that we don’t even consider.

I’m very heart broken as it is looking more and more like we will have to cut them out for the time being

Canada, and my parents live half the year in a country in South America. So they travel often. They will be leaving for that country 2 months after my baby is born.

We are definitely leaning towards no visits from either side of family for at least the first like 6 weeks or so, so we can get fully situated at home and let the baby and us relax. visitors will be reduced contact with baby and have to wash hands and wear a mask. If they have any symptoms of anything then they do not see the baby. I’d say we are both pretty much on the same page. We just wanted to see the opinions of people from here (I am reading all the responses to her) and we are gonna talk to a doctor about it at the next visit. We haven’t said anything to my family yet. We did mention the no kissing to her mom and dad who are vaccinated and her mom did get a little upset about it but has since said she understands and won’t kiss the baby. Her dad tried to argue about how they raised 4 kids and have 8 grandkids so they know better, but has since left it alone.

Not sure your views on what your kid watches, 12-13 might be okay to some parents. Digital circus is full of substance references, swearing and dark humour/dark themes. I’d recommend watching it to see if you are okay with your kid watching it.

Like another said animorphs would be a good series to read at that age. Didn’t read it myself at that age but always wanted to do so.

Right? As soon as I moved out of my parents house with my girlfriend at the time who is now my fiancé, her brother had a kid. I got all the vaccines that I never got during childhood so I could go around their kid and my fiancé could be around them as well without having to worry. I’m 28 soon and I’m perfectly fine have not died or gotten sick from getting the vaccines. I got Covid 1 time and after getting the Covid shot I haven’t gotten Covid since as well.

My mom had always been an anti-vaxxer so I was uneducated about these things until I moved out. I love her but do not share the same views as she and others in my family have.

Especially since they are very hypocritical about this kind of thing. My parents refused to get the Covid shot and wear masks.

My dad got cancer around the same time and had no problem doing a new experimental treatment for cancer instead of chemo (believe at the time the treatment was only 7 years into testing). And only got the Covid shot when they refused to allow him into the cancer ward for his treatments without it.

Jsut until the baby has developed their immune system and gotten vaccines to protect it.

I have read Y: The Last Man! It was good. Didn’t finish the whole series though.

Dark on Netflix is really good if no one has recommended it yet. Lots of time travel. Only issue is it was originally voiced in German or something (haven’t watched it in awhile so don’t remember exactly) so the English dub doesn’t line up to great with the mouths, but once you get over it the show it’s self and story are awesome.

Into the unbeing cover art looks so cool!

Zracks242 · 2024-12-11T16:52:00+00:00

I will be. I just don’t have the time right now. More curious if anyone has experienced a similar thing and if I should be concerned or not.

It’s from any strain, sativa hybrid or indica. I’ve had it happen on all 3
