My 77 year old dad and stepmother?

[GeorginaLS]

Kids and I ( isolating from him ) FaceTimed my dad and stepmother ( of 30 years) - I am 55. I love her very much and feeling is mutual. But they they were happily having supper - with a friend, nice woman aged similar to me pal of them both. Works in Central London. Is this 'variable interpretation' or what... and isn't this going to become a problem? My dad has had pneumonia several times and bronchitis x 4 per year but otherwise healthy academic still working, and beloved dad and grandfather. AIBU?

YANBU- but I also understand why people want to socialise while they still can. It's not too strict right now but it will be...

Thankyou Bobbin, very much. And yes I agree and I understand it, but it feels so risky when my dad is actually so vulnerable. He looks great but he actually is in one of the very at risk categories. Bet there are lots of late 70s parents like this. Both him and ( 60 yo) stepmother smart but just arbitrarily making decisions because everyone is so far feeling well and they've no experience of anyone with Covid 19. My kids are desperate to see him but I decided last week it was sensible not to. Hence extensive use of Face Time.

They are being unreasonable

DF and his lady friend - similar age group to OPs were talking about gadding around having lunch out tomorrow (north west); DH and I are wfh indefinitely and social distancing ie not going out for lunch (central London).....DF didn’t seem to think it was an issue (not helpful and he was told). Perhaps a generation thing?

Thank you... Stepmum has just emailed to say friend is lonely and was delivering some supper ( not sure how essential that was as they have a Tesco next door) - I love SM and really don't want to get into an argument but said to her that if that was what they were doing, like Ocado and other suppliers she should have left it at the door. (I know, that's not the point.)The difficulty is - it seems to me that pre symptom they may well be in denial. Maybe generational. Until they get sick. So upsetting all of this is it not. I love my dad so much. XX

Better at home with a friend then in a reataurant. Think how many people they would meet in a supermarket compared to 1 friend round for dinner.
