To go see my parents?

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 think this is fine, I'm sure the chat will do you all some good and boost your spirits.

Yes, enjoy.

Of course you should. Everyone needs to risk assess. You are going there anyway & you aren't putting anyone in danger. It's common sense.

As you are going there anyway I would and stand clear

Do it. I'm lucky that my parents live within walking distance, I've made sure that our daily walk takes us past their house and have stopped for a chat on the drive at least three times a week.

At a safe distance.

@DamnYankee I'm not planning to get out of the car. I can pull up on their drive and they will open their French windows to talk to me

@Greggers2017

I'm teasing. Have a great time!

It was great. Really helped to lighten my mood. If people can do it, I recommend it
