are your kids keeping up visits with their non-resident parent?

[AnneTwackie]

My teenage son thinks I’m being ridiculous in saying that he will have to stop going to his dad’s for a while. Dad lives with his parents- over 70- and they are still living a normal life and having other family over etc. We are following advice on social distancing and working from home. Are your kids still going between 2 families?

My son is for now. I consider it essential. It will stop should we become symptomatic. His dad is 100% in agreement.
My DPs DD will not be coming to out house as her mum has decided to reduce external contact as much as poss as another of her children has pretty awful asthma. DP is gutted, but it is entirely the right thing to do.

Not at present,Dds dad has asthma but if he can't keep out the pub every day I'm not sure seeing his Dd once a fortnight will make much difference.He asked whether I thought it was safe for him to have her considering her school and gymnastics are cancelled,I pointed out that he was more risk to her than the other way round.

No but he claims to "have it" so it's best avoided

my useless ex has said hes stopping today

We've changed it so there's less back and forth. So they go for longer stretch of 4 days then back with me for 5. We're both keeping them in and wfh fit around looking after them.
I know the lockdown rumours have been denied but if that did happen I'm not sure how this would work!
I think having the two homes to go between is a bit of a godsend at the moment as they get a change of scenery and we get to recharge on our break as it's so full on.

I'm dreading my DSC's mum saying she's stopping contact. She's already said she doesn't need us to have them any extra during the week, despite the school closures (she works, as do we), and I'm worried she will use this as an excuse to cut their contact with their dad. We shall see...

Yep, I was right. Not allowed to see the kids until this is over.

No. Ds is almost 18 though so it’s easier on him emotionally than if he was younger.

It’s just not safe to be going between homes in my opinion and none of us are leaving the house at all anyway.

We were keeping contact if he hadn’t been to work during the week. We had made arrangements to meet at a park so they could go for a walk with their dad. Now no contact at all until it’s over as I fall in the high risk vulnerable group so I can’t leave the house. I’ve set up face time on both child’s iPads so they can contact him whenever they want to and vice versa.

Bumping to get a few more opinions on this. Own the guidance has changed
