Hi, i am a step mum of 2 boys aged 13 & 15 and i`m very concerned about them coming back and forth between our house and their mothers as she works as a ward manager on Covid 19 wards. Their father and i have raised our concerns with her as she did have a bad scare a couple of weeks ago thinking she had caught Corona virus, and she asked us to come and take them away immediatley after she locked herself in a bedroom to isolate. It turned out to be something else, which still lead to a spell in hospital and her going on sick leave for two weeks. She was tested in hospital for Covid 19 and was negative, so we carried on having our access to the boys. Now she has gone back to work we have asked for the boys to stay with us until things try and settle down with this dreaded virus. Her response was for us to mind our own business, her work commitments have nothing to do with us, the kids are her responsability and she will say what happens with them. I feel that this response from her is totally irresponsable and very unprofessional coming from someone at her level who should know how bad the situation is in the hospitals at the moment. The kids are both parents responsabilities, not just hers. All we want is the health and safety of the kids to come first, is that so wrong of us to want that for them. They to are frightened and concerned. I just dont know if it should be right to keep going from one house to another, but i do feel that they are more at risk staying with her though. Any thoughts or ideas please.
