Can DH and I both go food shopping?

[Somepeoplehun]

Currently self isolating apart from food shopping (would get delivery but there’s an online queue to even get onto some websites and no slots for the foreseeable future on others).
I’m pregnant and we also have a toddler.
We need to go food shopping within the next week or so which I’m absolutely useless at as DH usually meal plans and gets everything but also I need to pick up my hospital bag essentials as I’ll be giving birth soon and I don’t trust DH to get this right.
Is it allowed for both of us to go with the two year old in the trolley or does the rule of only going out with one member of your household apply? Does my 2 year old count?

Thanks!

One of you goes. Toddler and preferably you stay home.
If you really think DH won't get the stuff right for your bag, search it all on the shops website and show him the pictures. He will manage. And if he doesn't, is it really worth the health of you and your children?

I'm not sure on the official rules, hopefully someone will be along soon who does.

Can't he FaceTime you whilst he's in the shop if you think he'll get you the wrong things?

We have decided that only one of us will do the shopping, I don't think it's worth the risk of all 3 of us potentially coming into contact with the virus unnecessarily.

Jesus Christ I despair.

Please don't both go shopping and take a fucking toddler with you.

There's no need. Stuff like this is why there was a thread yesterday about tesco not letting children in at a which buggers up single parents. How can you be useless at shopping, just have a list and use your initiative if something is sold out. It's not a skill. Please just go alone.

No you shouldn’t all go. Give DH a list of what you need (with pictures if necessary!) and you and the toddler stay at home. You shouldn’t be going in shops anyway, as a pregnant woman.

Blimey, you’d really put your 2 year old, who probably can’t keep their hands out of their mouth, in a supermarket trolley at the moment? When you have two adults in the house, each of whom who could do the job on their own?

Can you order your hospital bag stuff online from Boots, Superdrug or similar to be sure you get what you need?

Ffs. If you are all self-isolating (due to symptoms?) NONE of you should be going out!

If you are vulnerable (pregnant) then just DH should go. Not you, not your dc.

DO YOU NOT UNDERSTAND HOW FUCKING SERIOUS THIS IS?

STAY HOME.

This must be a wind up... surely??

I screenshot pictures off the shops website that I want when I send DH. He then double checks with me over facetime if something is different to what I had sent home for.

You are vulnerable. Why would you risk it to make sure he bought the right toothpaste or something.
Your lives and that of other is more important.

Order stuff for your hospital bag online?

I’d just send DH. It’s what I had to do a few days ago, I’m also pregnant with a toddler and wouldn’t dream of setting foot in a shop at the moment. I had to send DH to get maternity pads, breast pads, knickers etc plus a food shop. I sent him pictures of most of the products I wanted for my hospital bag from off Sainsbury’s website and he also phoned me to ask where he’d find the isles. It wasn’t as stressful as you’d think.

Make it two separate trips if needed, but always leave the toddler at home.

Seriously OP, the rules apply to you as well.

He goes shopping, on his own. The correct items for your hospital bag don't trump yours or any ones actual lives.

People need to take this thing seriously.

You trusted him enough to make children and marry him but not for him to shop?

Its a pandemic
Your pregnant
The toddler should stay in

STAY IN

If there are three (and a half) of you bimbling down the veg aisle together it's going to make it very difficult for someone else to get past your family outing and maintain a 2 metre gap.
Seriously you and your partner are adult enough to have almost 2 children but neither of you are capable of shopping unaided?

In the nicest vest those aren’t good enough reasons; you’d be putting everyone else including yourself and your son at increased risk. Also as a pregnant woman I thought you were supposed to be staying home anyway? Your DH may not get the right things but it’s not the end of the world.

Of course you can't all go!

Rules should be very clear. Only one person allowed to shop for essentials. Buy your hospital stuff online.

God I'm fed up of seeing questions like this. Likewise, am fed up of seeing kids in the supermarket. ONE of you goes. The other stays at home with your child. These are the rules.

Sainsburys staff told me just now, from tomorrow, just one person allowed per family.

Its a bit of a pathetic reason isn't it?

Some of you are actual bullies. She was asking a question, however misguided you think it was.
What's the point of there being a FORUM if asking questions is the biggest crime going. Lay off.

We need to go food shopping within the next week or so which I’m absolutely useless at as DH usually meal plans and gets everything but also I need to pick up my hospital bag essentials as I’ll be giving birth soon and I don’t trust DH to get this right.

FGS. Your DH can give you a list if you really can't manage it yourself and you can tell him what you need. You really don't need masses of stuff for a hospital bag - nappies, clothes for the baby and maybe some wipes and muslim squares and you've got a pack of what you need.

I don't understand how adults can be incapable of shopping for basic things. You've already got one child, does your DH really have no clue what is needed?
