To not want him in my bubble anymore?

[Lizzie523]

I am 29, single and living alone in Scotland, so fairly isolated and being safe. Only going to shops, walk in a park or take out coffee with a friend once in a blue moon.

My parents and a few close friends are in my bubble.

But since day 1 my dad has been acting almost like things are normal. Dont get me wrong - he wears the mask everywhere he should and so on but I feel he is being irresponsible now with going too many places.

He works in a school so already high risk. On top of this he went to the local library yesterday, then went round about 10 shops after. Tomorrow he is meeting a friend in a cafe.

AIBU to basically say I am concerned? He is an adult but I dont feel I will be willing to keep seeing him if this continues.

In Scotland we were told we can form a bubble.

Can you link to this information because I have never heard anything about 'bubbles'

If the shops exercise social distancing and people are wearing masks and sanitising then I don’t see the issue. It’s allowed. You are not especially at risk. What’s your multiple bubble thing?

I am asthmatic and get a flu vaccination every year because of this yes

You can stop seeing your father if that's what you want - you actually don't need any reason at all.

If you decide that you don't want to take the risk of seeing your dad, then you don't have to and it doesn't matter what we all think of that. But do you really want to stop seeing him (which would mean not seeing anyone else in the household, otherwise it's a bit of a nonsense) or do you want to force him to change his behaviour?

@nicerbeing I have added a screenshot from Scottish citizen's advice.

OP- you're only supposed to bubble with one household, not be in bubbles with multiple households.

She's talking about the extended household you can form when you're a single adult. But that's only supposed to be with one other household. Her OP refers to it being with her parents and a few close friends

@Lizzie523

In Scotland we were told we can form a bubble. I stay overnight with one person occasionally, that is my mother.

I see one of these friends once a month - I view this as exercising caution. My dad is meeting a variety of friends every weekend for the most part. Then hitting the shops, then cafes. It is the sum total of all of these things that is the issue.

People can say 'he isn't doing anything illegal' if they want but he isnt exercising any caution and another lockdown is imminent

You are breaking the actual rules though. Not him. Even with a looming llckdown you are breaking the rules. Not him

What’s your multiple bubble thing?

It's a crock of shit that stayed at the parents and a few close friends but had reduced over the course of the thread to seeing a friend once a month.

It is called an extended household or bubble - www.citizensadvice.org.uk/scotland/health/coronavirus-meeting-with-people-s/

🤣 🤣 exactly

😂😂 at this. It’s you breaking the rules op not him! Read the guidance on bubbles again!

@NerrSnerr

Oh, citizens advice have referred to 'bubbles' - based in England no doubt.

There are no bloody bubbles here! I asked OP
To show where it came from because I know full well she made it up.

How am I breaking the rules by meeting one friend socially distanced a month and being part of a bubble with my parents?

Meh. I just saw that citizens advice refer to a bubble. It's not a bubble. It also doesn't say meet a bunch of people.

You said in the OP

My parents and a few close friends are in my bubble*.

Refer back to your OP. This is different to what you stated

I'm in Scotland as well.

It's you who's breaking the rules not him. Officially you can only have one household in your bubble.

Why do you think it's wrong for your dad to do things he'd legally allowed to do? I think you're being ridiculous and overly cautious to be honest.

@nicerbeing I did not make anything up. Nicola Sturgeon told us we could form a bubble and if you look at the link you will see it is citizen advice Scotland.

Because in the OP you were netting your parents and a few friends?

You have made plenty up. Sturgeon never mentioned bubbles.

My parents and a few close friends are in my bubble

Your parents and friends all live together do they?

Here's what I understand from your first post OP.

You have formed a bubble (extended household) with your parents and a few friends. This means you meet up with them, go into their houses, stay overnight etc.

People who you meet up with outdoors at a social distance are not in your bubble. You can meet as many of these people as you like. But your bubble must be just the one household.

So if you're going into your friend's houses and your parents houses and staying over then you're probably putting yourself at more risk than your dad is.

Has OP slinked away now people have called her out on this?

Have you actually read the rules on what a 'bubble' means??

Based on you and everyone you seem to know being in your 'bubble' yes, YABU

Where did NS say you could form a bubble with multiple households?
