Boyfriend dad has tested positive for COVID over the weeken.md. He’s quite poorly and been in bed most weekend. My boyfriends brother wife and children also reside with his dad.
My boyfriend popped in over the weekend. I was livid. I told him he must not go there but he shrugged it off saying he didn’t stay long. He also said that his brother the kids and wife are going to work. I really can’t believe this. I’ve told him they should self isolate but he again shrugged it off.
I want to have a chat with them but I’m not that close. This really isnt on but not sure what to do. I also will not be seeing n my boyfriend or have him at my home if he wants to put himself at risk. How ridiculous is he.

I have friends who woulnt hesitate to self isolate as they get full pay. I have friends who wouldnt as their employer wont even pay sick pay of isolating - most people couldn't afford to isolate in those circumstances and would go to work.

So your boyfriend went to visit at the weekend, knowing his dad was ill/had tested positive for Covid?

Be thankful that you learned how fucking thick he and his family are before you've moved in or had children with him!

Dump him and find someone with at least a basic level of intelligence.

OP still hasn't answered my questions.
I'm not assuming things OP didn't say.
I didn't ask questions about whether his relatives did wrong to not isolate. I asked questions about whether OP was right to be livid at the boyfriend. And whether she wanted to face consequences of "Report" as an action.

Do you lot enjoy spouting rage about situations you assumed & projected but don't know to be true?

If there's one thing MN threads teach us, it's that OPs often leave out important details.

I sincerely hope they do not contract COVID because who knows whether or not they will come into contact with someone vulnerable at work. They are being very irresponsible and I can’t believe anyone would excuse this kind of behaviour.

I would honestly separate myself from this family now. If they behave like this during a pandemic they will be an absolute shitshow in the event of any future kids.

I would want to report but don't think I could bring myself to do it. I would, however, definitely avoid them for the time being.

Have you seen your boyfriend at all since he visited them? If so you need to self isolate too. Otherwise they might report you.....

Yes bf visited knowing his dad tested positive. I haven’t seen him for a few days. He should isolate too as he’s had direct contact with them. It’s all a joke. People not taking it seriously at all and doing as they please. It makes me annoyed. Our lives have all been affected and They could potentially spread the virus.

@lljkk
She said in OP his dad was positive and they were still going to work, it’s really not hard to see they are being idiots.

He's actually a dick doesn't matter how long you stay, covid likes to stay
