Anyone cancelling Mother's Day visits?

[LaureBerthaud]

We're due to visit PIL next weekend to celebrate Mother's Day. It's a long drive so we were planning to stay over but as PILs are late 70s - albeit it in excellent health - I'm wondering if this is a good idea?

Anyone else changing their plans for next weekend?

MIL will throw a fit if we do!

Going to see my 74 year old mum this weekend. My sister is in and out of her house all day every day and Mum is off to Tesco on the bus every day as she likes to get out and about so it's pointless me avoiding her!

I was planning to drive to London next weekend to see my Mum, with my 9 year old daughter. Have just spoken with her and we decided together it's best to postpone. I need to stop enroute at a busy service station, and what we would want to do while there would be seriously reduced. We just both thought it's wiser for now.
My sister, who lives closer to Mum stated that she wouldn't be seeing us as my DD is a potential risk factor, and Mum is elderly with underlying health issues.

I have another Mum who uses the bus most days and going into Tescos, M&S and Wilko on her trips out.

Nope I'm actually changing my plans so I can see my mum next weekend. Who knows when I'll get to see her otherwise.

And she doesn't want to be cocooned, she's nearly 81 and is happy to continue going out for walks and coffees and will take her chance.

So the advice isn't to avoid taking children (forgot to mention DC in op) to see elderly grandparents?

We are leaving it up to my mum and she has said to play it by ear, which I think is sensible. Plan was for her to come to our city and go for afternoon tea. If she and we are both asymptomatic and practise good hygiene I imagine that would be okay but if she wants to cancel we will understand. And if anyone has symptoms we will cancel.

We're not going to see either my mum or OHs next weekend - haven't been to see them this weekend or last weekend either even though we usually pop in every weekend.
Last weekend I was unwell and this weekend we both have confirmed cases in the families of colleagues. MIL immunocompromised & my DDad has severe respiratory issues so we're not willing to take any chances. Both sets of parents completely understand.

We saw DPs yesterday and DH is taking DCs to PILs today. Then that will be it possibly for months. Breaking all our hearts, but not as much as if any of them became ill or died due to the CV and some quite serious health concerns

No, but my mum isn't elderly. My granddad is and he has recently had a chest infection so DS and I are staying away.

I found it chilling the way Boris Johnson said "some of us will lose loved ones before their time."

Anyone changed their minds now Matt Hancock is talking about over 70s self isolating?

My mum lives 500 miles away so there was no chance of that, and my MIL is self isolating because they have flu symptoms.

It is gonna be my first mother's day as a mother myself. We were gonna go into the town to visit the botanical gardens if the weather was nice, but I don't think I will do that now.
Not really what I wanted for my first mother's day but there are worse problems to have.
