We have just had a family meeting and made the decision, the children will be kept off from tomorrow

Youngest has a chesty cough so wouldn’t be going in anyway but the other two will also be off for the foreseeable future (two primary and one secondary)

We live in an area where parents and grandparents are older, I have 0 confidence that BOJO, government informants or any scientist in the world really knows how this new virus works and I’m scared!

I read today that the reason behind lots of parents stopping doing what they though was right for their children was fear of judgment, doing the wrong thing, or more importantly doing (for you) the right thing.

I just wanted to share, that we are standing up and doing what feel right for us, do what’s right for you.

Myself and my stepson are continuing to work (he's in food retail and myself civil service). My dh is as home as he is caring for my ds and his dm. The only place I go after work is the shops and I have been taKing the necessary precautions. However stepson (24) has been out partying at friends houses. DH and myself dont have a great relationship with him so have suggested that he stay home but to no avail. He and many of his generation just don't get this 'social distancing'.

Next time he chooses to go partying, tell him to stay there.
