Are you letting other kids into your house?

[SahmedOut]

DC spend all day playing with the neighbour's kids (who have just come back from Italy) but the weather is so foul at the moment that they can't play out. In two minds as to inviting them in or not. So far since lockdown, we've only had DD's best friend inside the house - as they're inseparable at school it seemed pointless to refuse.

No.. We aren't allowed in our area do haven't.

Yes. Were allowed up to 6 so DD has a couple over next week for her birthday and then 4 on Friday also for her birthday. But DH and DS going out.

not in as already 6 of us but mine have been to play at other families houses.

No. In scotland, so not allowed

Yes. 2 of them. They are in the same bubble in school, live on our street, and at the moment kids under 11don't need to social distance. I really hope that doesn't change as it's made life so much easier, having play dates. I'm not sure if we're meant to though. The parents don't come in and vice versa, parents in the garden only.

no, but we aren't allowed to mix households at all, if it was the rule of six then I woukd.

Here in Ireland we are moving to level 3 at midnight which means 6 max from one other household. He only plays with a gang of siblings, one of whom is in his class at school so it's all the same really.

Yes we are.

Yes. They’re in the same bubble at school. Not if it takes us above 6, and no adults from another household.

No.
More than happy to have them all playing outside. But no one in here.

Not allowed due to our local lockdown so we’re not.

It’s definitely harder for the kids with this combination of the increased restrictions, the dark nights and wet weather as well as missing most of their normal activities because they’re in a different county.

We have let my older two have one friend alternate, normally the same one or two. Us parents check in with each other that they are ok with it and totally understand if not. So far no one has declined. Three DD here, older ones at the same school. Live together but can't sit together on the bus!

*dont get me wrong I know this is all bonkers and there isn't a rule book to refer to but some of it is just ludicrous

Yes. No problem.

Yes. Our neighbours' DC have come over and another friend. They're all in the same bubbles at school though.

I have, it's only kids that my kids are in school with so in contact all day anyway.

No. It's allowed (well, could have 1, as there are 5 of us here already) but we don't.

No. Not allowed where I live at present. Nobody is allowed inside each other's houses. And children are people, are they not? So, NO.

No, but nothing to do with Covid, I just can't stand them

No. It’s illegal where we are.

We have local lockdown but even before that we didn't have other kids in or let ours go to others. The only exception was when Ds1's friend hurt himself and they came to ours to get patched up as we were nearest and his parents were out. That was an emergency and even then we kept him distanced as much as possible.

But I like @Bookridden's answer!

Yes, they are in the same bubble at school.

Yes, loads of them. But I am a childminder so I kind of have to let them in 😆

We’re allowed to here so each child has had their two closest friends over at different times.

Everyone wore masks and they’re outside most of the time anyway.

Shit, are children under 12 not allowed in other people's houses in Scotland? I thought they were.

So, to answer your question- I have been.
