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.

I'll go see my parents and nan but that's it. I haven't heard from any of the other fuckers since way before lock down🤣

I don’t think I will, they live across the pond and things seem far more serious over there.

I would love to see my partner again though, but we are unlikely to break the lockdown though as my son is vulnerable and he is caring for kids whose mum is a key worker.

I’m desperate to see my DD and DGC but they live at the other end of the country so I guess not. I would need to get trains, tube, buses. One brother also lives over 5 hours away and another overseas. I have no family anywhere near me

People who aren't going to, if you are waiting for a vaccine... you could be waiting forever. There are lots of viruses we don't have one for.

We have to learn to live with this risk.

Yeah sure @user1471510720, tell that to the families of the 30,000 dead, to the families of nhs workers who died.

No, mine live about 500 miles away so I wouldn't normally have seen them anyway, but if lockdown is still loosened in August and we can travel I would like to visit them then.

Christ yes! Really can’t wait.

Luckily we don't all think like @user1471510720 or the death toll would be even more horrific than it is now.

I want to see my parents but they are both over 70 and I'm pregnant so can't take the risk. So easing of those restrictions don't make a difference to me. Think it will be a long while before I see anyone.

It really depends. I would see them but my mother will likely take up visiting a few people she saw in care homes (ex customers of hers and members of the church she attends). My brother who lives with her who they believed ought to be shielding (but being cagey as to whether he is or isn't) will likely start visiting every tom, dick and harry (and knowing the people he mixes with they will have been breaking lockdown). My uncle who also lives with them and is the only one I could trust, is mixing with them.

So, saying all that, the answer will likely be no. (My lovely in laws live too far away to visit and are both in their 70s).

Oh should have said, I'm vulnerable (not shielding bit have asthma).

I sure hope so! My mum is well overdue lots of cuddles from me, DS and her other grandchildren. Lots and lots of cuddles coming her way soon! Also, hoping that she can help with childcare so I can work more.

@amazedmummy Not at all, I’m not a sheep like yourself who believes the lies fed to them. It is clear, Crystal clear the whole lockdown was unnecessary. The guy proposing lockdown and advising from the start was seeing his mistress. Did he take it serious amazedmummy.?
The mainstream media brought this lockdown on the Country because they hate the British public for the reasons all to obvious.

God yes. My mum is only 51 and has had suspected coronavirus already, I'll be straight round to see her.

My grandad is 78 so I will let him make the decision about seeing us. If he doesn't want us to come in the house then we will go and have a cuppa with him and sit outside and chat through the window.

@user1471510720

You got tin foil hat on hun? Fucking batshit crazy.

@user1471510720

Did the mainstream British media also bring the lockdowns upon all the other countries that have locked down? Or was that their own hugely varying media industries who hate the public for reasons 'all too obvious'?

No! Barely see my maternal extended family in non-lockdown conditions - they live far away and we are not close so I haven't seen them in about 7 years. My mum is staying here so I would love to see her less, actually.
My dad, his wife are far away and we see them once a year if that. Paternal extended family I see at most once every 10 years.
My in laws are in another EU country - I would like to see them but that is harder!
Family, schmamily.

@NeilMangel. Grow up, 30k deaths is such a tiny number of over 65 million in a packed Country and off those many would of passed. It isn’t nice but you need to get some perspective and understanding.rather than just sprouting nonsense like so many on here.

Literally the only thing that had changed is that they currently have space for you in ITU. There are still over 4000 new infections a day in the UK with the social distancing we have done up to now.

We have enough exposure with DH going to the hospital for work every day.

Yes, my mum is a very fit 65 who lives 20mins away. She’s widowed and retired so other than her neighbours she hasn’t spoken to anyone face to (distanced) face for weeks. If she was elderly and/or vulnerable I might feel differently though.

Well my mum will be looking after DC1 when DC2 decides to appear, if thats after monday then yes! Shes been self isolating and getting deliveries for weeks to be able to come look after DC1.

PIL will depend on their priorities, supposed to be shielding but can see them turning up at ours regardless - already bored and considering going to b&q to get paint apparently. We will self isolate once DC2 arrives just in case but will only let them visit us if they do the same and haven't been 'popping out'

@Inkpaperstars Yes, in every case.

Dd2. She is 22 haven't seen her since Xmas.

Just my mum, she is desperate to see DS and hug him.
