To be fucking furious?

My dcs just came back from their dad's. He took them to someone else's house to visit. No handwasing after they left until they got to our house. I'm 'at risk'. My ds is prone to viral chest infections. This is the man who couldn't get his son a birthday present because he is allegedly immunocompromised. I'm livid. We have been following all the rules, not been out in the past six weeks apart from one trip to big tesco and walks around the block. Trying to write a sensible message to let him know he can't be trusted so I won't be sending them until the pandemic is over. He will minimise, twist and manipulate it to somehow be fault but he needs to know he's done something staggeringly stupid.

Are you shielding OP?

But what will you do when schools go back?
lockdown is basically over now , so things will be getting back to ‘normal ‘ - isn’t it better to just urge your ex to be cautious if people have symptoms ?

Lockdown isn’t over?? I’d be furious too OP

FizzyGreenWater · 10/05/2020 16:14

Lockdown is NOT over!!!!

SunflowerSeedsForever · 10/05/2020 16:14

If you are worried they have been exposed then you need to send them to live with him.

bigchris · 10/05/2020 16:14

Try not to panic and don't panic the children

Lockdown is not over! Hundreds are still dying every day and that will increase

bigchris · 10/05/2020 16:16

lockdown is basically over now

It is ???? I'll send my kids to the garden centre tomorrow morning then for schooling, and afterwards we'll go to pizza express for tea , and then swimming

Dhalandchips · 10/05/2020 16:16

@Mikki2019 show me where it says lock down is officially over?

Dhalandchips · 10/05/2020 16:20

I'm not shielding but have poorly controlled asthma. So trying to avoid as much risk as possible. @SunflowerSeedsForever they're back, in our house before I found out. I've pretty much disinfected them and everything they've touched. Their clothes are in on a hot wash and they've had a shower. Not sure what more I can do. I've told them I'm not cross at all with them.

Sorry - Boris Instagram post

To be fucking furious?
funnylittlefloozie · 10/05/2020 16:22

Lockdown isnt over!

Dhalandchips · 10/05/2020 16:23

That doesn't say its over. I'd say the opposite.

That doesn't say lockdown is over.

WizardOfAus · 10/05/2020 16:27

Erm... I’m not seeing where it says lockdown is over?

Thymelord · 10/05/2020 16:28

For fucks sake lockdown is NOT over. Has the virus just disappeared? Jesus some people.

carolebaskinsheadband · 10/05/2020 16:29

OP, while I am not I am at risk group myself, I've had similar this week with my eldest children's dad. He decided it was fine to take them into multiple services on the motorway (despite the kids saying they didn't need the toilet and his wife was there too so they could have taken turns). Also multiple people visiting the house while my kids were there.
I was dubious but gave my ex the benefit of the doubt. No more. Until lock down is officially removed they aren't going to be going.
I suggest you do the same.
Is there court ordered contact in place?

Blanca87 · 10/05/2020 16:30

Lockdown is not over, certainly for Scotland anyway. The FM of Scotland has just finished her briefing. @Mikki2019 I get why you think that, as the UK gov messaging is confusing but please do not conflate the public health message for England with other devolved nations public health message. Also, I think you will find at the Boris' briefing tonight that the changes assumed, will be minor. Dominic Cummings needs to stop leaking dangerous and incorrect info to the press.

moobar · 10/05/2020 16:31

Unbelievable. Lock down is NOT over. All week people have been posting this shit on here.

Connie222 · 10/05/2020 16:31

Op - he’s clearly been irresponsible there. I’d be livid too.

And fuck me, it’s scary to hear someone say lockdown is basically over. It hits home that that is what other people are thinking and it’s frightening.

oneforsorrow29 · 10/05/2020 16:31

This would really infuriate me. Thankfully my ex seems to be taking lockdown rules as seriously as we are and so when the dc go there I feel like I can trust him to be safe. If he pulled any shit like this I would be rethinking contact. It's not fair to put your family at risk too.

Lovely1a2b3c · 10/05/2020 16:32

Definitely not unreasonable! I think you've done all you can to control the risk for now.

aliasname · 10/05/2020 16:34

Lockdown may not be over, but I agree with Miki that Instagram message is much softer than previously.

Before it was 'you must not mix households etc' and now its 'limit contact with other people'

Unclear messages from the government.

Blanca87 · 10/05/2020 16:34

Anyway, I digress, your ex is a twat but as my last point outlines there is a lot of confusion with the comms about lockdown. He may have thought stay alert meant something different? Which highlights this of stay alert message is problematic.

AllTheWhoresOfMalta · 10/05/2020 16:35

If lockdown is over why have my (public sector) workplace announced on Thursday “we are stating it would be irresponsible and endanger the health of our employees and their families to reopen our offices and therefore have made the decision to keep staff working at home until at least July 1st”?! Doesn’t seem very over.
