To move to mum if lockdown extended?

[LolaLollypop]

I'm just asking for gentle opinions so please no bashing. I know everyone is struggling in their own ways on lockdown.

I've been in for the past 7 weeks with my toddler and 10 week old and DH (We all had colds/virus symptoms in early March so self isolated earlier than most).
It's been really, really tough managing the kids whilst DH WFH full time. I'm struggling with my toddler who has regressed massively in her behaviour. She usually spends 3 days at nursery and 2 with my mum so lockdown + new baby has been very tough for her.

AIBU to consider moving to my parents if Boris adds another 3 weeks on next Thursday? They're both 70 but in very good health. Both sets of households have been isolating - we've not seen anyone and have been doing 99% of our shopping online.

Could we all move as a family and do the remainder of lockdown from my mum's?

The point of lockdown was not to overwhelm the NHS, which has not been overwhelmed, ergo lockdown is a success because the vast majority of us are complying with it.

I can't see lockdown as a success when hospitals are half empty because people are dying at home, I'm afraid.

Well it’s achieved its objective. It wasn’t intended to minimise the death rate, it was to protect the NHS.

And, no, I’m not defending that before you jump on me! It’s a politician’s answer.

@LolaLollypop can you schedule morning/afternoon walks. Plan activities whilst the baby is sleeping such as baking and order new games?

@Fredted8 yes, we do get out every day for a walk. I've started leaving the baby at home with DH now too so me and my daughter can spend some time together.

Aww that’s good. I think staying in your own house is probably best as the children will have their own routine still. Maybe your daughter could stay at your mums for a night or two.

I agree with the poster about mental health comes first. When you have just had a baby it’s a tough time. You do what’s best for you even it means going against lockdown we cannot stay in the house forever!.
