re: Mom and Dad Afraid of Own Shadows due to Virus

I love my parents dearly, but being up against something like this is troubling.
The way I see it is we can’t change them. The last thing we need is them going out and putting themselves at risk of exposure... we can drop off groceries/supplies on their porch and keep tabs on them.
I’m sorry that they’re living in fear, but them staying put during all this makes for one less factor I need to stress about during this thing.

Just FaceTime them and tell your kids they can’t get sick so they have to stay home. Doesn’t seem too difficult

I'd call this a troll, but the current climate has revealed a pit of idiocy that has no bottom on here.

If they caught it it could end up being catastrophic for them though. They’re right to at least have some concern, although it’s important to keep that concern in check. Do what you can to help them until this blows over, go do their grocery shopping or any errands so that they don’t have to leave the house.
I’m sure they are hating it too, but what if one of y’all brought the virus to them unwittingly and due to their age that did them in? This will all be over soon enough, you want to have your parents at the end of this. Support them and don’t ridicule them just because they’re concerned for their health. They love their grandkids and want to spend a lot more time with them which is why they’re trying to take precautions now.

Sounds like you have responsible parents.

This is probably smart right now.

Most elderly are isolating themselves for now. This is the smart thing to do.

Gotta love the retards from bumfrick towns acting like they know more than scientist and doctors. I can understand for yourself but you getting upset about your parents being cautious is astronomically dumb

I mean this in a helpful way... you come across as anxious and selfish. Your parents are the ones doing the right thing. Part of the sacrifice everyone has to make for now is limiting social interactions. Keep Calm and Carry on.
Are the kiddos the DGAF snot-nose age?
Was the previous norm them watching over your crumbsnatchers? Let the kids FaceTime them every day and see if they need anything, that might help you feel better. They are probably gardening, building stuff, and drinking mimosas every morning.

You’re not alone. And I’d guess we’d be in the same boat if I said I’m livid.

Stop watching the news especially MSNBC and/or CNN

SOunds like someone is tired of watching their own kids. Raise your own children and stop relying on your elderly parents. I’ve already lost an elderly relative to this disease. You may want to do some research. It’s a lot worst than the flu. The fact is it’ll get worse and worse until a complete shutdown happens or a remedy comes along.

I’m not angry, just wondering how they’ll return to the way things were before when they seem so freaked-out, now. I’ve never seen them react this way before. Is that so hard to comprehend, dickhead?
Maybe you aren't angry, but you are stupid. It seems they are handling this like rationale, smart adults. So I'm sure they won't have much of an issue returning to normal.
Let me try to help you comprehend something. Let's play hypothetical here. Your parents don't "freak out" and go about life the way you think they should be. They come in contact with an infected person and one gets sick and then spreads it to the other. They both end up in the hospital and are fighting for their lives. You can't go see them, and their grandkids can't go see them. Can you comprehend that what they are doing is smarter than what you think they should be doing?

Do you stand to inherit a big estate from them? Because you sound like it.
You sound really stupid, your parents have a figurative gun pointed at their head every time they "mingle" with people right now.

I was about to say the same thing.
Either that, or the poster above you is correct.

If they they come in contact with this virus, they will get it. If you or I come in contact with this virus, we will get it. Sounds like they're increasing their chances of living.
