Be honest.. how many of you have seen family during lockdown?

[VodkaCranberry2]

Family from other households... and why? No judgment here!

Yes, outside, probably not 2m though.

Not a soul, family or not. I wave to the neighbours from the garden on Thursdays when we are clapping, that’s the sum of my social contact.

No. Several hundred miles away, so not hard.
Have seen friends within walking distance, but not close up. We're raising and saying "Eh?" like little old ladies.

*raising our voices

Nope....
i cant walk to any of my families houses - it's not an essential journal
I'd worry the kids would get upset trying to keep 2m apart...

So for now its facetime only

No, not at all.

I’ve seen my Mum once a week but only because I get her shopping whilst doing mine and drop it off for her.

Nope but seen every neighbour do it. They're the same lot out banging and clapping every Thursday too

@bigbluebus he finishes on Friday and is also in his final year. I did see him in January as sadly my mum passed away so he came home for the funeral but looking forward to seeing him if he can come home.

Yes immediate family we all live locally within 1-2km unfortunately we had DM's funeral during this too, Some immediate and extended family attended while maintaining distance.

Not me. Family don't live nearby.

No but I decided I will now by socially distancing. I waited long enough.

Nope, unless you count when my son dropped my mothers day and birthday present on my door step, rang the doorbell and left without waiting for me to open the door

I have video calls with them both and we have a regular family quiz online together, its nice to see they are coping but I miss seeing them in person

No, sadly not 😢😢 and it's breaking my heart 💔

No. They all live 2 hrs away. My father is in a care home and I haven't seen him since 14th March. Mum is over 70. Haven't seen her since Christmas.

I've seen my mum as in seen her (not hugged or kissed her) once every ten days/two weeks. She's elderly and I shop for her so leave the shopping at her door and ring the bell, retreat to the garden wall (about 4 meters away) Wait for her to answer and get her shopping in. I don't stay for chit chat, it makes me want to cry.

I haven’t.

No. Too scared of being named and shamed. We stay in touch a lot by phone and WhatsApp though.

Only on Zoom and FaceTime.
I miss my dad desperately. My mum died at the end of last year and it’s just horrible that we’re not able to support him and give him a hug when we’re all grieving. The minute lockdown is over I’ll be there like a rocket.

I've seen my mum through a window at her nursing home when I had to drop off some stuff she needed.
But she has dementia and had no idea I was there. Am very pregnant, I just want to hug her and it broke my heart to see her and not be able to go and check she was ok 😔

My mum, from the end of her drive much more than 2m away on her birthday. And my in-laws as we pass their house on our walk and we exchange essentials that we couldn't get on our respective shops, so again from the bottom drive a brief chat maybe once a week.

Yes I've met up with my elderly DM for a dog walk three times.
She has walked to the country park and I've met her there with my dog ( I've needed to drive for 15 minutes)
We have walked for a couple of hours and then she's walked home and I've driven home. We've kept socially distanced at all times. DF won't go for a walk with her and she was starting to feel so lonely as is usually so active and social.
I haven't seen my DD or GC even once

Yes, at 2m distance when dropping/collecting food. We stop and chat for 5 min but it’s easier to have a heart to heart over the phone then yelling across a driveway in front of neighbours with the kids locked in the car.

No.

I know of loads of people who have. I thought they were intelligent. But clearly not.

Nope
