At the beginning of the lockdown, me and my OH were talking to our elderly neighbours about the effects it's going to have on us all. My OH works for a supermarket and said if they needed anything don't hesitate to ask, we exchanged phone numbers and left it at that. Maybe a week or so after, they messaged asking for a few bits, no problem, my OH was doing a shop after his shift anyway... a few days later, they message asking for a few more bits, OH wasnt doing another shop for us, but went back in to get these bits. At this point their adult son who lives with them I might add, is at work, so we understand he cant get out as easily and seeing as my OH is there anyway, he can pick bits up. Their son was furloughed around 3 weeks ago, and since then, we assumed he would be the one going out to do their shop, he can drive, he's young, fit and healthy. But in the past three weeks, my OH has been messaged every other day. This means after getting up at 3 in the a.m, doing between 8-10 hours work, he's then having to go back into the store to wait in queues to then get home nearly an hour later than what he normally finishes. AIBU in thinking that either their son should now be going down for them or at least give us one big shopping list rather than needing little bits every other day,??? For example, today's request is, a punnet of strawberries, a jar of beetroot and some lettuce 😐 that's all.It's starting to get to my OH as he just wants to come home after work and see our daughter x
