Aibu to be annoyed dh wants to go camping with friends?

[StormsDontLastForever]

So we are in the middle of a pandemic, dh announces he is going camping at weekend with friends, no plans to socially distance as they all need to share a car and tent etc. Just an excuse for a few beers! I am not happy and have said that if further restrictions come into place he won't be going (not that I am controlling in any way but he would be putting me and dd at risk)!! But he's basically told me he's going & that's it! Aibu to be p**ed off? He is like a child at times & it's so annoying. He says he's not had the virus yet so basically thinks he's invincible

Having announced he's off on a jolly this weekend, what's his plan for childcare?

Tbh its endemic now, how long are you going to want to keep this up?

1 year, 2? 10? A lifetime?

If I go away DS is looked after by his father and if DH goes away I look after DS.

We are his parents, or he goes to his grandparents.

It is not 'childcare' when I look after DS nor is it when DH does

The only issue I have is they aren't social distancing, sharing a car, sharing a tent. I have been very careful through lockdown etc as I want to avoid getting this horrible virus. Wouldnt have any issues if they were social distancing, but the people he is going with are out every weekend at several pubs, house parties etc, with no social distancing. I just think it's silly.

If he isnt over 50 and obease theres not much risk

Bbc

And if he passes it to a more vulnerable family member @Elsewyre.

Also whilst there are rules in place shouldn’t we be following them

You are not controlling.

How dare he tell you to stuff quarantine and he's hanging with his mates in a tent not distancing and unmasked during a deadly pandemic. Ridiculous.

I see there's the usual crazy bunch of anti-maskers and/or herd immunity cultists crawling on here too.

They either seem to be arguing that rules don't matter AND you're the problem for sticking to them which is essentially let everyone catch it and who dies dies.. it is what it is.

Of course when THEY catch it from negligence they happily put the lives of first responders at risk.

If he's TELLING you not asking then TELL him he needs to stay in the garden in the tent for 2 wks afterwards since he loves camping so much.

...And if he refuses and especially if you get sick I'd seriously be talking to a divorce lawyer !! PLEEEEZZZE!!

Sharing a car and sharing a tent are both high risk.

We’ve been camping a few times this year, but it’s just me and the kids and we keep distanced from other families at the campsite, so it’s low risk. It’s totally different.

He'll need a hot water bottle
