Just a moan really. I know all the rules, I don't need reminding of them. I know it could be worse, I could have lost someone to covid or be locked down like Wales. Rationally, I know all that. I just need a moan because I'm feeling sorry for myself but most of all I'm feeling sorry for my DD13. She has a boyfriend. He doesn't go to her school so she doesn't see him in the day. All was fine, they were meeting at the park in the evening, all good. But now the clocks have gone back, I don't really want her sitting out in the dark and the weather has been horrible with really heavy rain and even hail this week so she doesn't really want to be sitting in the park either so she hasn't seen him for days and she's miserable.
I get it. I know the rules. DH is a stickler for the rules but I must admit, I'm of the opinion that she was out in the park with him, definitely not socially distanced, so what would the difference be if he came in our house and they sat in the other room away from me and DH and watched a movie? He'd still only be mixing with DD. He could sanitise his hands on the way in. I'd even take his temperature! It would just make such a difference to her mental health (already diagnosed with anxiety and OCD). I've just got a bad case of corona fatigue today and seeing DD moping isn't helping. It just seems ridiculous she can be in a classroom full of 29 other teens all day but can't see the one she actually wants to.
