So DD is at university doing finals.

She lives in a student flat with her boyfriend, the other 4 students went home before Lockdown.

They have a fortnight break between exams soon and would both like to return home for 6 nights in that time they will be bringing a significant amount of their stuff with them as they need to vacate the flat very soon after final exam, will have to do several trips in the small car.

I feel this is low risk and would love to have her home for the last time.

Does this fit in the guidelines?

(middle of night posting as I'm anxious about doing the Right Thing)

Do what you think is right. Precautions + reality + mothering/daughtering, etc. = The Right Thing

TBH - I'd feel weirder about her and the boyfriend being under my roof (in the same room?), but my oldest is only 15. Grin

Would not be excited about too much "stuff." Maybe they can purge a bit to cut down on trips?

Enjoy giving her lots of hugs and having lovely cozy chats.

Are thee and now online essay questions ? She could come home and stay home and you do self isolation as she will have to come home when they have to leave the flat. Can her boyfriend go to his parents ?

@DamnYankee thanks yes, desperate for a hug and cozy chat with her. Haven't seen her since February.

Her boyfriend is planning on going to his home.

@bettybattenburg she just needs a break, works so much better at university, it's quite chaotic here, 3 younger siblings and we're renovating 😬

I’d let her come home.

I thought all exams at uni had been cancelled?!

Viviennemary · 12/05/2020 21:57

Just do it. I would in your position.

FlibbertyGiblets · 12/05/2020 22:03

Bigchris some uni exams are on going. My eldest had one today part of their Masters (final exam, whoop whoop) and kid no 2 had one yesterday and a further one later this week. Online of course.

FlibbertyGiblets · 12/05/2020 22:07

Oh I forgot to answer the OP, how rude! Blush go and get her and all her stuff. Is boyfs parent getting him and his stuff or are you bringing them and it all?

Do your own risk assessment.

We are all privy to the same information (more or less) as the government. Things don't become more or less safe because the government says it is ok.

With the information you have given then I would do it.

AuntyBess · 13/05/2020 12:07

@FlibbertyGiblets yes she's doing online exams.
And she'll be taking him and some stuff back to his on the way home.

Great username btw

@Khione, yeah my risk assessment it is quite a low risk exercise, just was a bit concerned that it didn't fit with legitimate cases of moving households.

Thanks though all, I feel less anxious about it.
