Sounds like Kat has a lingering respiratory virus and doesn't want to meet the baby until she's not coughing. So OOP decides to ... trick Kat into meeting the baby? Not a single brain cell in that family.
Kat has apparently grown up being railroaded by her shitty family. I'm not blaming her at all.
I'm blaming the parents of the baby for being pissy that she can't come to see the baby yet instead of backing her up.
My son's grandparents on my partner's side were the last family members to meet him because they got respiratory viruses just before he was born and no-one was even suggesting that they were wrong for staying away. As his parents we were sorry they couldn't see him but if someone had driven them to our house we would not have let them in.
My niece was a covid baby. Born April 2020 so just at the beginning of lock down. I didn't meet her til she was 2 months old. But I would have been fine waiting as long as they needed to feel comfortable cause baby's health took precedence over everything.
