I'll still be alone

Felt quite chuffed that I can go sit in my parents garden next week for half hour with the kids. My mum replied to my text with but you still have to social distance. I have a 2 year old who's been nowhere at all but yes he will not do that. So I accepted mum did not want to risk seeing us.

Then I text my sister to see if her and her kids might like a walk next week. She said people are acting like it's ok now but the death tolls going up. Polite rejection from her too.

I've seen nobody for 8 weeks. I've had food delivered. I've got a milkman so I've had bread etc delivered too. Finally thought I was able to reintroduce some stuff back slowly for my kids sake aswel as my own. Now I realise nobody wants to see us family wise.

What a shit situation this is. People are too scared to sit in a garden with us.

This virus is never going to go down to 0 deaths and the cases are lower now. I'm not an idiot and I know we've got to tread carefully. But it just feels like People are getting scared to live.

Are others still avoiding everyone?

@Whatnow23 no, they're nuts. Join us over on the anti dementor threads. Latest is we're all going on a summer holiday

I am scared but I've weighed up what risk I'm comfortable with. DS is too young to walk which makes life easier but I've decided the risk of being socially distanced in the garden with my mum is worth it. I'm in Scotland so our guidance changes for the first time tomorrow and mums coming round on Saturday. It's a shame that I can't go see my sister, she's further away and as we're bit able to go into her house it would be difficult to change and feed DS.

I'm going to meet a friend and her son. It's just been quite tough on my five year old lately. She's really missing normal things now. Ah well.

Our local national trust gardens are opening so I'm going to try book tomorrow when they open to book. A nice picnic in open space will be a positive for her.
