DD and her BF visiting - what to do?

DH & I are working from home for the foreseeable. DD2(20) sent home from work as she had a bout of asthma over the winter (no time off work) but work said she was on the vulnerable list so she should stay at home and take care. We are therefore all staying in (and trying to be nice to each other!).

DDs BF of over 2 years works in retail and usually spends half the week here and half at his. He's due to come here tomorrow after work for the next few days, going back & forth to work.

DH says he shouldn't come here, he should go to work and then back to his house. No socialising. I am wavering between allowing him to come and stay but being strict with cleanliness etc but then remember DD was sent home from work as history of asthma.

Perhaps they could meet and take dogs for a walk together but no coming to stay and no physical contact. But is that defeating he object?

Her BF of course thinks we're making a fuss over nothing. DD wants to please everyone!

WWYD?

I should add we are all symptom free (although I have had a bit of a cough for a couple of weeks).

DD's BF doesn't get a say about your household arrangements. Unless he wants to come over with a bag of basics for all the food he'll be eating for his "few days" each week.

He is bringing every single person he has been into contact with in his retail job into your house.
Your dh is right.

Unfortunately if the government want vulnerable people to self isolate the bf needs to stay away for 12 weeks.

Her BF of course thinks we're making a fuss over nothing.

So he thinks your asthmatic daughter is not at risk of contracting coronavirus from him?

Have you seen the video posted by people in Italy telling themselves what they wish they'd have known 2 weeks ago?

We all need to make tough decisions.

I get that it's difficult, but unless we all do our bit this thing will spread like wildfire and people like your DD are especially vulnerable.

Your DH is right. He shouldn't come round.

Put it this way if you want to harden your heart, if he really cared about her why would he put her at risk?

AnneLovesGilbert · 19/03/2020 21:28

He’s a selfish tosser. Does he want to infect your household and endanger your daughter, his gf?

Where are her boundaries, “please everyone”? Huh?

At least your DH is being sensible Hmm
