I think if the mental health of your mom is in question then let the grand kids and you mask up, sanitize hands and hug her. That's MO.I am struggling with a lot of similar personal choices. I think there comes a point where we have to think about what is called "quality of life". We need interaction with animals and our loved ones. But it is a difficult decision to make and I flip back and forth all the time.
My mom's personality is beginning to fracture and she needs to see her grandkids. But how do we do it safely...I do not want to risk anything. The new I will swing the other way and think to heck with this.....if my mom wants to hug her grandkids, then let her.
So far, I keep going back to what would a "responsible person do" knowing the possible risks.
I am constantly seeing people bending these rules. Parent bringing their child to grandma and grandpa (age 66 and 74 with health conditionsfor) for daily child care, daughters meeting up to walk with mum for daily dog walks. I don't know if they are maintaining social distancing in those situations but they certainly don't have masks on anyway.
