To think fuck it and send DS to his dads anyway?

DS was meant to go to his dads last week, and it was his birthday on Saturday. But he was isolating until Sunday. He was meant to go this weekend instead but today I got a message from his school saying he has to isolate again! As well as most of year 10.
He's obviously very annoyed as he was only back for 3 days after isolating for 10!

He hasn't been to his dads since the very start of June either. His step sibling is also isolating (they go to the same school).

Aibu to think fuck it and send him to his dads (if his dad and partner is fine with it of course)?

How would he get there?

Presumably he would get there by private car so not exposing anyone else

It's a tricky one as DS shouldn't really be travelling, but also as his step sibling is isolating (at his Dads?) then really other people shouldn't be visiting the house either!

So potentially you are risking DS getting it by allowing him to go to a house with someone isolating? Assuming I've got that right?

I suppose it's up to you

I’d send him. My DH and I discussed this with my DSDs Mum and Stepdad and just agreed that we are one bubble and if we get unlucky and DSD contracts COVID or has to isolate then we just follow rules as though we live in one house (in practice, both houses isolate.)

I'd send him

Just been chatting about the rules... I live with 5 x dc and have 1 who lives alone so in our bubble. We can't share a table in a restaurant apparently... But I could sit with a whole teams worth of fans at a football match.. Bonkers.... Send ds op.
