Trying to decide what to do. 3.5 hour journey across yellow warning areas with a child in tow. Don’t want to let anyone down but also don’t want to get stuck in potential tailbacks or worse.

AIBU - don’t go
ANBU - go!
stay safe everyone x

Would you speak to someone like this in real life if they asked you a question that they were worrying about?

Show quote history

It’s a bit blunt, but accurate. I’m in Wales and I’d travel (and will be). It’s windy and raining but that’s about it. Entirely depends where you are from and travelling to.
I don’t think anyone would blame you if you didn’t travel though.

Im debating whether to walk the dog, let alone go on a long trip in the car.

We're yellow and it sounds strong and relentless

GrumpyCactus · 07/12/2024 06:45

It depends entirely on where surely?

We're in a yellow area and having looked at the forecast for where we actually are I'd be fine travelling.

OrangesCinammonIvy · 07/12/2024 06:44

As above where to and from, I'm near London and I'm not looking forward to a short 10 min drive.

Not unless it was really important like visiting a dying relative. If it’s something that can be postponed, even if that’s “letting people down”, I’d cancel. Stay home safe with your child and watch Christmas movies.
