Bump

Sharing as normal here. Ex comes to pick DS up in the car, then they go straight to his house so no prolonged interacting with others.

I’m interested where not 50/50

Ex has children every other weekend.

We're not 50/50. Ex is having DS this weekend then he's back with me for next week.

I’m surprised this isn’t more of an issue with others!

I think people haven't really considered that this actually is an issue. Many would never consider not seeing their own children due to all this.

My OH is continuing as normal for now re collecting his kids, but could have to stop if stronger rules come into force as they live far away so it's not a matter of quickly dropping them round the corner. He has them EOW.

The children are supposed to be with their Father this coming weekend.
I text him to say we are self-isolating and that they wouldn't be coming to his.
Going forward, I do not envisage that they will be going anywhere, Including contact weekends for a very long time.
Hopefully he will see that this is to keep the children safe and not cause a fuss (we have a court order in place for contact) But time will tell.

We have stepson every weekend fri- mon.
You'd have to physically stop my husband for seeing him. There's no way he won't.

Currently we are sticking to general arrangements (EOW, one night in the week). Ex is now wfh, but can’t really have them more (unless, obviously, I am ill) as dc are high needs, and he does need to work (I am sahm, due to dcs’ needs)

Dc are with him this weekend. We will continue as usual until/unless someone gets ill, then will make a new plan according to need. Once schools are closed, assuming we are all still well, I can see them maybe going to his on a different pattern so maybe 3 or 4 days with me, then one with him (so works out at same time overall, just on a different schedule) just to break up the monotony, tbh.
