We met up with my youngest children’s’ Dad and his kids/my kids’ teenage half-siblings at a park this afternoon. They see him this way about every 6-8 weeks and haven’t seen their half-siblings since March 2020.
We got to the park before them, so DS (5) and DD (7) were happily playing on the swings when the others arrived. As soon as DS and DD get off the swings their Dad starts talking about everybody getting hugs and kisses. I asked him how recently they’d done lateral flow tests (I’m currently testing daily, as is my teenage son that lives with us, as there are lots of cases around us). Dad says “they tested on Wednesday and I don’t need to because I’ve been doubled jabbed”. I told him being double jabbed doesn’t mean anything, he seemed to think I was talking rubbish.
I told him that under the circumstances I didn’t think hugs and kisses were wise, especially as they live in one of the top three areas with highest cases. He got the hump and made sarcastic comments.
Was I being unreasonable?
