Will you be seeing your family if lockdown is relaxed?

[CandleFlames]

If lockdown is relaxed on Monday, will you see your family from other households again? I had a baby last month and none of my family have met him and I’m in two minds whether to stay isolating or to let them meet him if the rules change.

Yes some members. I probably won't be able to see my parents as they are in the vulnerable category but will immediately see everyone else if the rules allow.

Yes. Of course.

I will be. I really, really miss my mum and so do the DC.

Absolutely. Nope of us are in a shielding group and we've all been sensible.

Op, are you shielded? I’m assuming so? Or s member of your family is

If so, I don’t think thr rules will be relaxed for you or them.

No.

Yes I’ll be round my mums in a shot. But that’s probably the only house I need to go to

Yes, I can't wait to see all my siblings and family again.

Sorry @bluntness100 what does shielded mean? I don’t think I am, I had been isolating during pregnancy because I was high risk and have just kept doing so since having my baby except for a few short walks. So probably not isolating but not really social distancing either as I don’t even go to the shops!

Even if the rules are relaxed, nothing has changed. It’s still out there. The daily deaths may have gone down but they’re still too high for my liking.
My mam is in a care home. I haven’t seen her since middle Feb. As much as I would want to see her I won’t and hope care homes stay on lockdown. I prefer this to people just going in and out willy nilly to see their relatives and taking in god knows what.
I think if I were you I would stay in isolation with your newborn.

Yes, not vulnerable and all wfh

No

Im shielding....

My other family members are still not going to see each other, atleast for the time being... See what happens daily with infection and death rates

@Bluntness100 why do you assume OP or her family member is shielded? Nothing in her post suggests that?

Yes, just the one household who live nearby.

I probably wont see my family as I live in the UK and my family live in Ireland.
We will see my SIL as soon as its lifted.
She lives alone and has been working from home. She is really struggling with loneliness so will be good for her to come over.

Yes I can't wait to see my mum and my sister

Yes I will see my parents. The chance of any of us having if is extremely low at the moment as we haven't been anywhere. I'd like to see them lots in case we can't later down the line.

I can’t, my family live hundreds of miles away and I don’t drive so the journey would need to be on public transport. That would put me and them risk so I wouldn’t do it.

Definitely my brother but possibly not my parents for a while. As much as I want to, they are both over 70, my Dad's not in the best health and if they caught the virus and there is chance I had passed it on I could never forgive myself.

Yes. I can't wait.

No. I'm waiting to give birth and will wait until the baby is at least 3 months old I think.

I don't know. My mum is customer facing as a key worker and I'm trying to weigh up the risk.

Can't see parents, all are over 70 and some distance away. Might be able to see siblings but also some distance away and I think when people are allowed to travel again the roads are going to be crazy for weeks to come.

I’ve gone NC with mine so no, but I am due to have a baby in 2 months and I would not be allowing visitors with a newborn right now. Their immune system is so delicate and we just don’t know how they can handle this. Too risky IMO. Won’t be having anyone round I suspect, sadly, when he’s born.

Do your family not live close by CandleFlames?
