Tonight on social media, I've seen several posts from "friends" (and by friends I mean Facebook friends, people from school who I've not actually seen or spoken to in a long time) who are having parties with absolutely zero social distancing.
One particular person has posted videos of people in her house, easily 20 people.
All doing karaoke, drinking shots, dancing.
Another post from a separate person is a picture being in a pub hugging three girls captioned "missed my besties"
A work colleague posted a picture of her young niece saying she's staying over at her house, again hugging her.
I don't mean to sound like the "fun" police. I know we've all desperately missed our friends and families, but the situation is never going to improve unless we follow the guidelines.
I have a 4 month old DD and I've love nothing more than for her to have a cuddle with my mum and her other grandparents, but I just wouldn't allow it.
I desperately miss my friends, I'd love to have them over and hug them, but I wouldn't do it.
Am I being over the top? Am I right for feeling pissed off at people just not following the rules?
I just feel like it's going to drag things out even longer if people just do as they please 😔
