To be angry at my ex and his gf

So I found out my ex and his gf have been going in their cars and going for walks away from their home putting everyone at risk!! He comes to see my children and one was Born prem and he could then put my kids at risk!! Why can't people just stay in!! I'm planning not to let him see the kids if he can't just stay indoors and going for fancy walks!!

Groups of two are also allowed to exercise if you don’t live together

This is the second time I've seen this said on here today. It is not correct.

BJ said the following pretty clearly

"You should not be meeting friends. If your friends ask you to meet, you should say No.

You should not be meeting family members who do not live in your home"

You're not allowed to drive somewhere you choose just to go for a walk, let alone drive to someone's house to pick them up and then drive again to a place where you want to walk.

Tell him that he can't see them as gf has children and you are self isolating, he can't make the kids see him.
Their health is more important.

Devlesko · 26/03/2020 14:54

i'd take the hassle to keep my children safe, honestly.

CrazyToast · 26/03/2020 15:05

Police say its not ok to drive to exercise and have begun to stop people.

OlaEliza · 26/03/2020 15:08

I doubt there's much walking going on. Yanbu op.

Mittens030869 · 26/03/2020 15:23

Ok shouldn't have called the walk 'fancy'

Oh you definitely should have. It made me and I am not doing much of that these days.

Same with me. I also noticed that he doesn't take his DC back to his house so he can go afterwards to his gf's house, thus demonstrating where his priorities are.

Sorry OP but I am clenchng here as I read this . Grin
What with your Fancy Walks and his Willy Nilly .

And Prancercise Woman who looks like Nancy Reagan from the waist up.....whoever was doing the video , could they not have stopped her and said "Errrrm, bit of light reflection with the leggings can you change them" ?

He sounds very unreasonable OP (Serious Face On now )

Bluntness100 · 26/03/2020 16:14

Op you’re posts don’t actually make much sense. If he is spending all his time at her house why do they both have to drive separately to do their fancy walking? Do they go to a special location to do it?

What’s the real issue here? Do you really feel he is putting the kids at risk, if so, report him or speak to him about your concerns.

If it’s your jealous and bitter, Which is I suspect at least is part of it, if not all of it, then honestly pick your battles. He’s not going to dump her and if you go off on one about fancy walks he’s not going to have a huge amount of respect for you either.

inthedarkx · 26/03/2020 16:22

@Bluntness100 I'm not jealous no way, I'm glad that I'm well rid of him, he's no catch at all, maybe a bit bitter at the fact I'm looking after his children 24/7 by myself trying to keep them safe, not being able to go out myself and he's coming here when it suits him, seeing the kids for a few hours then hopping back off to his gf to go for 'fancy walks'
It's not on! He's taking advantage. I'm worried he will pass this virus on to us. They don't need to go drive to a different location for walks as it's risking them getting it and passing it on. I'm just fed up of him doing what he wants whilst I'm trying to keep
Our children safe and look after them. Just fed up that he always ends up better off and I'm the one doing it all. Yet he's the first to scream 'equal rights' in the kids

Ok, so if they did their walking without driving to do so you’d be happy with that?

springydaff · 26/03/2020 16:33

if I don't allow him he will say I'm stopping him seeing the kids

Who cares what he thinks? He would be emotionally blackmailing you if he played that card, anyway. You'd be keeping your kids safe, who gaf what he thinks.

Ogham · 26/03/2020 17:40

@PolPotNoodle I am loving the video you posted 😂😂 - is she high? Plenty of camel toe going on there, hilarious 🤣

Cherrysoup · 27/03/2020 09:21

He should not be coming into the house. Your dc’s safety is more important than him giving you hassle. This will be a moot point shortly anyway when we go into proper lockdown. Meanwhile, tell him he cannot come in, it is directly contravening the government ruling of not socialising.

dontdisturbmenow · 27/03/2020 09:25

Surely it is less risky to drive (assuming car in driveway) to a more remote area less likely to cross people's path, then walking around the house on sidewalk passing people every few seconds/minutes?

Cherrysoup · 27/03/2020 09:28

@PolPotNoodle

I haven’t seen that video for ages! Brilliant! It reminds me of the silent discos we used to do at the yard, fun times.
