I've started to see my mum and dad again, with my 1 year old. Neither of them had seen him since March. Last time, I broke social distancing, I didn't intend to, but they had been inside for 12 weeks, they had only had shopping left on doorstep, they had been on walks but they live extremely rural, no neighbours, they weren't a risk to us and they insisted that they aren't seeing their grandson and not playing with him, giving him a cuddle. I caved. I felt so guilty after, and I know I'd never forgive myself if anything happened. I didn't go and see them again after as I couldn't stomach it and I know they won't want to social distance. They've sent a long message about how it's their risk to take, we also live rural, in an extremely low case area, and they're saying shit could hit the fan here when tourism reopens, let them play with him now before it becomes really unsafe.
It's much more their risk than ours, but whose wishes should be listened to? Me worrying I'm putting them at risk or them feeling like they're being deprived of their only grandson?
