Overreaction?

[Broken123]

So, last week it turned out my husband had picked up COVID. He has been staying in the spare room since he found out and has not been using the communal areas, ie kitchen, en-suite etc. He eats in his room and puts his dishes outside the door. Myself and the kids are negative. But since finding out my husband has COVID we have been treated like we have all got COVID. My siblings child has spread it at school so my daughter is being treated like a social pariah there too. And my sibling refused to hand my daughter her birthday present outside in the drive, preferring to out it in the floor and take 4 metres back before she would allow my daughter to pick it up. Our kids used to go to school together in the car and we’d take it in turns, but she’s banned my kids from the car. We’ve always celebrated Halloween together but this year no invite.

Don’t get me wrong , I’m all for sensible precautions, but I’m just hurt at the way she has done it. Her reaction is just over the top to my mind. My kids have been in tears over it.

I’m trying hard not to take it personally but the reaction of my nearest and dearest has been so much more brutal than anyone else I know that I just feel hurt.

Am I overreacting?

So that will be no definitive source then?

And please don’t be crass enough to quibble over whether it exactly reflects what a pp said. The impact is huge and growing. That paper was January. Since then HCPs have described how much more traumatic it is caring for unvaccinated Covid patients.

The impact on many NHS staff is unsurprising and predictable given what that have endured.

Well it’s day ten of husband getting infected and the rest of us are all testing negative

Hmm. So we held a birthday party for my teenager. I hired a lovely tent with beds for her so her friends could stay over. At 12 pm I sent them to bed in the tent then I went to bed. Whilst I was asleep they started drinking as one of the otter girls had bought alcohol. They also left the house and went roaming in the village. I heard nothing as they literally tiptoed out! They were also taking pictures on their phones and my daughter took a selfie but accidentally caught one of the other girls in the background where you could see her bra. This Snapchat picture accidentally got sent to someone from school. The fall out has been horrendous. I slide between being furious with my daughter for being so stupid ( although I am comfortable that it was an accident) and furious for the massive overreaction about it. Girl in question was caught in the picture retrieving a vape from her bra. I’ve had to pull my daughter from school as a result of the consequences and bullying. Anyone else been in a similar position?

We need more detail. What have been the consequences from school ?
