NC for this.
First of all, I know that I can’t ban anyone from travelling but I am annoyed and wondering if I have the right to be.
Our cleaner stopped coming at the beginning of lockdown. We continued to pay her weekly, I know some clients paid a proportion, some nothing at all. She was very grateful, said it was a huge help as she was skint.
As soon as lockdown lifted, she got on the plane to visit family in her home country (on the list with no need to quarantine).
All this time we’ve been super careful, not seen any grandparents, very little travel locally, let alone abroad (dh’s family is from Sweden and we’d love to visit but we are giving it more time). As I said, I know I can’t ban someone from travelling but then she’s clearly not that skint if she can afford plane tickets. I also think she has increased the risk to herself, and everyone she works for, by travelling at this time. I guess it doesn’t sit right with me that the money i was thinking was helping her through lockdown was actually funding her travelling.
YABU - she can spend her money any way she likes
YANBU - I would be annoyed as well
