I know there will be hundreds of these threads and it's totally my decision but I'd like some perspective.
Me, DH &. DD (8mo) are headed to see my parents this weekend (2 hours away) for the first time since February, and will stay over in their guest room, but here is my issue. I want to let them cuddle DD as they haven't seen her since Feb, but I know this is breaking the rules (and law?). My DH is much less strict although as a family we have stuck to the restrictions carefully since March, and says as long as they sanitise and refrain from kissing etc then he's comfortable letting them have a cuddle. They've held DD twice since she were born and due to distance/work etc this may be the last time they see her for another few months, potentially until she's over 1yo.
I'm coming around to his way of thinking and this part of the decision I will make my decision based on the risks I think it poses - DM small primary school head, DF truck driver.
However. We are in Leicester - yay - and although we are miles out of the inclusion area for the current lockdown, PIL's are in it. We can abide by current restrictions (1m+, pubs/restaurants, staying over whilst maintaining distancing etc) whereas his parents are back to square one - staying in, not allowed into homes, 2m distance.
If I allow my parents to hold DD, DH will then think it unfair if I say PIL can not.
In this situation, what would you do?
Let my parents hold her, tell DH his parents will have to wait until lockdown eased or not let anyone hold her until government guidelines allow it?
