Family member invited me for a picnic then asked me to provide the food, CF or not?

A member of my family has been looking forward to restrictions being loosened so we could meet up and they could see the children. They invited us (me and the children) for a socially distanced picnic.

They then asked me to provide the food "you can sort the food can't you"

Getting the children ready for days out and leaving the house takes forever as it is and I find that stressful enough, this person doesn't have children so doesn't appreciate that.

Am I being a spoil sport or are they a CF?

Clearly not @Vinomummyinlockdown, have you read the thread? That sort of faux naivety is one of my let hates.

Not sure how the OP is a cf either tbh.

According to Boris Johnson supporting Cummings behaviour, you can go where you want and do what you want, even if suffering from Covid!

@burnoutbabe why would you move away if a stranger started talking to you from 2 metres?

If a stranger sat down in the park 2n away from where I have my picnic and starting chatting to me? I'd find that odd. Wouldn't most people?

We're told not to mix as much as possible so I can't see much reason to chat to strangers from 2m away beyond a quick hello as we pass or brief comment in a queue. Long face to face chats increases risk doesn't it?

Not outside.
