Aibu? Are you really following lockdown rules?

[CoronaOneSoz]

I work and kids are at school but I've been following the lockdown rules. Not met anyone. I know I could bubble up as I'm a single parent. Anyway i spoke to my sister and parents today and they have all met up together. Sister has 2 kids and a husband, the kids go to school and they both work. My parents are still relatively young and work, no health issues. They also still have my other sister at home who also works. I was abit shocked but they just laughed and said they don't care they will still meet up. I'm not pissed off I'm more disappointed with them. Aibu for feeling like that? Just been told I need to lighten up as i told them they are breaking the rules.

I dont know anyone following the rules. Hard to feel like we are on lockdown with almost everything open. When starbucks is essential you know its not a proper lockdown. It feels like a bit of a joke really

I think everyone should be following the rules set in place by the government and that people should mind their own business is just an excuse for others breaking the rules. It would annoy me to but nothing you can do about it.

Yep. Definitely following rules here. Hope that helps.

We are following the rules.

I also know people who aren’t.

I decided we will continue to follow the rules just as we did from the start.

We will keep adhering to them because the more people who follow them the faster the rates go down and the more likely we are to get a decent Xmas.

Something tells me the vaccine will be ready soon.

Keep doing you and forget everyone else.

And no, you are not being unreasonable, you are just curious!

Thanks for the replies, it does help. Atleast there are some other people following the rules.

I am, although surrounded by people who are not in big and small ways. People who are in a bubble meeting one other person not in their bubble I'm not to upset about, but people having full on parties of 20-30 people as seems to be happening round here, socialising as though everything is normal, yes that grinds my gears.

No I'm not
I'm letting DS play out and I'm seeing my boyfriend AND my brother's family

Following all guidelines here. We know several people who are ill at the moment and a few deaths of people we know......

I'm following the rules myself, but there's no point worrying about who is or isn't.

I am mostly. DP works and the DC are at school. Outside of that we don't mix with anyone as a family. I do spend time with my sister though during the day when its just us.

I don't know anyone socially that is.

YANBU we would get through this a whole lot quicker if people just followed the rules.

No I am not

Yes we are. And we won't be seeing anyone who isn't.

I cannot control anyone else therefore I am not worrying about it. It's not good for your mental health

I'm following the rules (I teach in a different town so feel like I'd be particularly at risk of spreading between communities if I wasn't) but FIL collected DD from nursery early on Friday without telling me since 'grandparents can do childcare'.

I'm following all guidelines which meant saying goodbye for now to my boyfriend. We live in different counties and I have a bubble with my parents so can't form 1 with him. It's worth it though to get the numbers down. We all have to do our bit.

Following all the rules here.
I have seen my parents once since the first lockdown as they live 200 miles from me. So when it was allowed I drove down, sat outside for tea that I bought myself, then after 3 hours drove all the way home.
My parents are 79 and 80 though. Maybe because they live so far away it makes me obey the rules, If they were nearby I’d go and have a cuppa in their garden I think as they are on their own. I will drive down and back the same day in December if the lockdown lifts. There are days this brings me to tears, I miss them.
My thinking is if I follow the rules I may be able to see them properly next year. Next year though, I think this is why people should follow the rules but I realise that’s my own agenda! Still makes me angry when I read people are happily all still meeting up, going into other peoples houses in particular.

Hard to feel like we are on lockdown with almost everything open.
Really? Had to go to town to get medicine for babies so supermarket pharmacy. Came past the shopping precinct, Asda Living closed, all the clothes shops closed. Admittedly Starbucks was open but Costa isn't. Cinema closed, all the restaurants and pubs closed. Can't imagine the high street looks any better.

Yes op we are. DS is in school, I take the babies with me for pick up else they wouldn't get aired. DH has been WFH since March. Essential travel only on buses. Went for a walk as I needed post office yesterday, they all waited outside whilst I queued to go on them walk to the fields and home. Popped into the shop to get a drink, they all waited outside. Mil is only coming to ours, food is delivered.

Single parent here OP. My parents don't live far away but we are sticking to the rules. I wont see anyone except my son through the next 4 weeks or so, other than dropping him off at the school gate etc.

I follow rules and if God forbid my parents caught Covid then I know it wouldn't have been passed on by me. It's the guilt my sister would have to shoulder as she's flouting the rules.

Yes I am, I have no idea what anyone else is doing but I need to know I have personally done all I could to avoid catching/spreading the virus and protecting my family from it.

Hopefully the majority will abide by the lockdown and that will be enough to make a difference.

I am. I think anyone who doesn’t is thick. 👍🏻

We haven’t really come out of lock down for almost 10 months. No body seems to give a fuck about us up north and think that 4 weeks is such a hard ship.
If I didn’t meet up with a friend in the park while watching the kids I’d go mad. We aren’t exercising so strictly it’s against the rules but I don’t care.

Following rules here but will see dd who mental health issues, her welfare trumps covid in my opinion.
