Ex has gone on holiday

Long story short, we have 2 DC, I’m a key worker working long hours, he’s in a much better paid job but is quite capable of working from home for 2 weeks so has taken himself off to sunny climes for a week with friends. They’re in a villa so no mixing other than airport and shops. It’s been planned for a while and of course I was fine about it.
Now, we’re in local lockdown and really he’s breaking the rules. He’s gone so there’s nothing I can do about it but technically he shouldn’t see our DC for 2 weeks after returning if I’m understanding the rules correctly? I had asked him if he was still going given the current situation and his response was along the lines of ‘too right’.
I mentioned he would need to self isolate and shouldn’t see the DC when he gets back - they were there and he winked and said he was sure we’d sort something.
AIBU for actually being a bit pissed off that he’s buggered off on holiday and is expecting me to break the rules or look like the bad guy? Also I’m bloody knackered and don’t especially want to go 3 weeks without a bit of help if it’s unavoidable.

I take it he's gone somewhere on the quarantine list?

YANBU, he sounds like a selfish idiot

Depends where he's going abd what the rule is at the point when he returns

Yes he’s somewhere on the quarantine list.
He actually is pretty selfish in many ways although I’m just realising this 20 years too late 🙄

Much depends on the age of your children. Not all children think the rules should be broken. Some children are much more rule abiding than their parents.
