So my ex has DS 3 nights a week and I have put together a rota for the summer holidays (DS is 7 years old). I had DS all of last week until Friday morning when I dropped DS to ex and ex dropped DS off on Monday morning to me. I have been looking after DS this week and DS was due to go back to ex this morning and overnight until tomorrow.
The week I had with DS we went away on a caravan holiday with my mum. On Tuesday this week I tested positive for covid and kept ex in the loop. I tested DS on Tuesday and he was negative. I tested DS yesterday (Thursday) and he is now positive with a bit of a sniffle and feels tired. I let ex know and he text back saying he didn’t want to catch Covid because there aren’t many people in at work and he doesn’t want to catch it. He’s not a vulnerable person and works in retail so probably comes into contact with people with Covid without realising it in the course of his job. I had to explain to DS last night to explain this to him and he ran to his bedroom crying. I guess I am annoyed that ex didn’t mention this when I told him I had Covid on Tuesday and planning ahead if DS had got it. Ex had not said anything about this so I thought he was planning on looking after DS with Covid but took safety measures at home to avoid him getting it. Had I have known his stance on it I wouldn’t have told DS that he was seeing his daddy today and he wouldn’t have got upset. A few friends have had colds recently and weren’t able to test because they couldn’t get hold of them and no one seems to talk about Covid anymore.
AIBU to be annoyed and how do other mums deal with co parenting when Covid is put in the mix.
