To be worried about having them here (cv related)

Hi,

I'm looking for some advice please, or anyone else dealing with the same issue.

I have a ds9 who I share 50/50 custody of with my exh and 2 step sons - dss7 and dss10 who are here every other weekend and Tuesdays.

Since the covid 19 crisis, my ds9 has been out of school, and my exh and I are doing every other week handovers, ex is driving him here abs back. Its fine because ds9 is isolating on both sides.

It's different with my dss's though. Their mum is still putting them in school. She's a key worker apparently for the council and although she is working from home she's still sending the boys to school as apparently they are too distracting to have at home while she's working.

My dh is understandably missing his boys and they've agreed to drop the Tuesday contact and just go every other weekend Thursday to Sunday.

I'm so nervous about having them here as they're in school. Is anyone else having this issue? How are you handling it? Straight in the bath when they arrive? I'm torn because my dh would be devastated and angry at me if I stopped them coming but I'm anxious and want to protect ds9.

Any advice would be amazing.

Can you have them at your house during the week and hers at the weekend, so they don't have to go to school? Adjust maintenance for the time being as well, as it'll probably be 3 months or so.

Let me reassure you about school. At my school we have had a max of ten pupils. They are all a safe distance apart from each other. It's fine honestly

Flask master - she'd never agree to that in a million years plus the boys would be miserable as sin.

How many people would allow this and how many wouldn't?
