To go see my parents?

[Greggers2017]

I've got to drive shortly, to pick my eldest 2 children up from their dads. The journey is an hour each way.
My parents live in the same vilage. Would I be unfair, to go and have a chat with them? I would sit in the car on the drive and they would sit by their French doors, so we will be social distancing.
Am I wrong to do this?

I'd do it.

People will say no as it's not essential. I say go for it and enjoy it

I'd do it and have done similar

Do it.

I'd do it.

Hell yes

I would do it

I think that's fine. You're going nearby anyway, why not visit so long as you stay distant.

My parents are an hour away - I wouldn't go and visit them unless I actually needed to go that way, but I certainly would if I happened to need to be nearby.

That would be fine. You’re doing the journey anyway for a different reason so your end destination isn’t really changing.

As you’re driving there for legitimate reasons anyway then I would (but otherwise I wouldn’t).

Do it. I've done it when I've had reason to be passing my mum's house and on one occasion when I needed to collect something from her. Similarly my step dad has stopped at my house on his way home from work with shopping and presents for my daughter's birthday two weeks ago.

I wouldn't do the journey if I wasn't picking my children up.
It's just really starting to get to me, not seen them for 7 weeks and usually see them weekly.

Do it.

Do it! Lockdown is basically unofficially over anyway

Lockdown is basically unofficially over anyway

Not sure I'd go that far...

Please do it, at a safe distance.

Do it op

But this is bollocks and makes my angry:

Lockdown is basically unofficially over anyway

Lockdown is NOT over, it was extended for 3 weeks last Thursday. There might be some adjustments announced tonight but it's not over

Of course it is, hospitals restarting outpatient and elective work, restaurants and shops telling staff to prepare to reopen, some already reopen for collection, slogan changed to stay alert, police not challenging the hordes of people out over the weekend...it’s a low key way of getting life on the path back to normality

It will be interesting to see what changes are made this evening l.

Go for it.

Absolutely
You are making an essential journey anyway so stopping at the end of their drive is fine

Lockdown is NOT over.
But @Greggers2017 as you’ll be near anyway and you maintain social distancing, it’s fine.
Don’t use their loo

@Etinox they still have an outdoor one as well 🙈

I think you should.

Thank you! I'm going to set off now. Be great to see their faces
