Parents kicking off over lockdown

[KittyLane1]

Please stop me going mad, ready to pull my hair out!

DD was supposed to spend the Easter holidays with her grandparents, everyone looking forward to it etc. But with the lockdown and risk of infection we have decided not to take the risk and I phoned them up to tell them that DD will be staying put over the holidays.
Honestly it couldnt have gone worse. Lots of sighing and passive aggressive remarks. No one is actually in lock down apparently, life is carrying on as normal. I replied saying well exactly why she isnt coming to you, you are still going around as normal and would let her play in the streets etc. This wasnt taken so well.

Please reassure me I did the right thing and please help me know what to say when (inevitably) my DM calls to have a go at me.

You've definitely done the right thing, some people still don't get it! I saw this on facebook before and I have no words!

You are doing the right thing, they are not.

@KittyLane1

Please ignore your parents flouncing around. You are doing the right thing for your child.

They're being ridiculous, and you're absolutely doing the right thing.
Same kind of scenario here, DS was supposed to be going to grandparents for the weekend in a few weeks but we've cancelled until all this has blown over.
They're fine with this and understand, giving calls over skype instead and saying we'll do it again soon - shame yours aren't as understanding.

Tell them Nicola Sturgeon said: "life should not feel normal", and if it did, you should ask "if you are doing the right things"

Tell them to watch this.
