Apparently the mum hardly leaves the house and sits w/ the baby all day on the couch. I pointed out that you see heaps of young couples out and about w/ their bubs. But you can’t expect to dump the bubs w/ two 80yr olds one with serious health issues and it’s fine.
Something tells me I should probably stay away from any conversations that go like that lol.

Yeah that’s not good. She needs to see her maternal health nurse or a GP. Your brother probably doesn’t know how to handle this. Asking your parents to look after a baby is definitely not the answer.
it’s not actually possible, no amount of guilt tripping regarding respite and money will change that
it’s called parenting, I suggest one of the parents look after the baby while the other has some rest and recreation
but what they want is time to go to cafes together and such, not respite
I was surprised he used that word.

Have there been health issues with the baby, because mum may be too scared to take baby out.
Even if not a visit to the GP would be a good idea.
