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

[VodkaCranberry2]

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

Nope.

Yes we’ve called as we’ve been on our walk sometimes and spoke from the bottom of their drive.

Only seen family on FaceTime, not in the flesh. We live 2+hrs from all our family, but if they were within walking distance I'm sure we'd stand in garden for 5min chat. I've seen various friends whilst out and about, had short chats with them whilst maintaining 2m distance. A friend dropped some clothes off for DD so had brief chat then too.

No, not seen anyone in person.

I have seen my PIL frequently (big not entered their house) as FIL is undergoing chemo and so we are doing all their shopping.
I have seen my DF once as he needed something I can get easily in my city but he hadn't been able to get locally (he lives rurally). Far less risk me taking it to him than him coming here as there's only about five houses on the farm.

I may have to go again in the next couple of weeks as he's needing another of the items.

Yep. Since my husband died my dad is effectively my kid's surrogate father. If kids can move between separated parents my kid can move between our house and my dad's. It's no more risky. And I couldn't give a fuck who thinks I'm a rule breaker. My conscience is clear.

I've seen both my parents and PILs when I've dropped of shopping. Bags left at the door and retreated to the end of the drive and had a chat and catch up at a social distance.

Yeah I have.
I live very close to family though, so see them all a few times a day either driving past or walking. I have sat in my mums back garden to chat, and at the end of my brothers garden to see him and the kids.
We've not seen MIL or FIL as they live 30 mins drive away.

No. The nearest family I would see is an hour’s drive away. We’ve video called a few times, but haven’t met up at all.

Yes. Mum lives round the corner so we talk from the pavement and she stands at the door or vice versa. Same with brother SIL and kids. We haven’t been in each other’s houses or gardens though.

My parents are shielding, but I have seen them from the bottom of the drive (about 5 metres) after dropping off groceries for them. Does that count?

Nope. They all live in a different city to us, a couple of hours away so I can’t even just go and stand at the bottom of their driveways and chat.

Yes I have visited my Nan regularly maintaining social distancing as much as possible.

My grandad died in 2018 and my Nan has coped by building a busy life for herself, and all of a sudden she couldn't leave the house or see any of us.

The "fuck it" moment came when she got very upset talking to me on the phone. Said she would rather not be here anymore than spend another day alone. So I jumped in the car and went for a cup of tea and have done so once a week since the lockdown extension was announced. My dad lives far away and my aunt is a funeral director, whereas I've been WFH and other than this been following the rules, so we all agreed it would be better for me to visit.

No. My policy is I can only go where I can walk (haven't driven my car in 8 weeks).

My family all live a 40 minute car ride away and I don't think that's acceptable journey.

No I haven't, my parents live 25 min drive, uncle and aunt 30 min and my dear brother lives 1 hour drive. I normally see my parents once a month and my brother weekly, so feel as though he's really missed out from not seeing us since end February.

I have seen my mum when I have dropped off shopping but we have put the bags on the doorstep, rang the bell and jumped out of the garden. Probably chatted for ten minutes from across the path.

I lost a parent, not covid.
Saw 8 other people at funeral

No, we live over 300 miles from my family and even further from DH’s.

My siblings have been going round and sitting in my parents’ garden regularly though.

I haven’t seen a single person I know, with the exception of my husband, since March 11th.

It’s really tough, and I miss my family so much.

No

Partner is his mum's carer so obviously he's seen his parents. If it didn't involve several changes on public transport I can't honestly say I wouldn't have visited my mum a few times, but, as it does I haven't seen her since mid March

No, miss my mama so much

We did a drive by birthday. Decorated the car with things we had around the house. Drove to their house where they were waiting outside for well-wishers. Waved and chatted from several meters apart for about 2 minutes. Then left so the next car could come in for their turn.

This is in a semi-rural area where driving is not restricted.

My Mum and Dad live about a mile away. I've seen them a couple of times when I've dropped off bits of shopping for them. Stood at a safe distance and had a chat for 19 minutes.

No apart from my MIL once per weeks who I need to shop for. She is 90 and lives alone. We can't use delivery as she can't carry the bags into the house we also can't use any volunteer services or the food boxes as they won't go indoors either. So me is.
I know several people who have visited others and have been tempted as I miss my own parents. Certainly don't judge people with circumstances like @PumpkinP for thinking this way.
