Sorry I know this is all becoming very boring but I would appreciate even one other independent opinion.
We have adhered to all rules. I've barely even been out for walks. Supermarket twice. At home with young children.
My parents in 70's and 80's. Live 10 miles away. We haven't seen them for 8 weeks and facing the very real reality that even with rules lifted slightly there poses a real risk to their health (one has had cancer).
MIL. Lives alone. Is finding lockdown unbearable. Desperate to see us and the kids. Literally every day is another day where we are dealing with her sadness. I get it. Totally.
What would you do? No idea how to keep the kids away from her if we were to drive there (8 miles) and I'm not into rule breaking.
Also, facing the possibility that she will soon be able to make her own decision to see us but that my own parents would not be able to as greater risk (MIL mid 60's no heath issues).
I feel torn. She's a lovely MIL. No back story. But I feel pressure to break the rules. DH thinks we should (he has also strictly adhered) for her mental health. I have another younger family member who is totally on their own too so once we do for one??
I want to stay put but I feel like I'm the big bad wolf. And I feel so irritated by it all.
So, would you go?
