Anyone else feeling guilty for child going to nursery during coronavirus outbreak?

[CillaBall]

I’m a part time NHS keyworker so my almost 2 year old will have a place at nursery.
I feel guilty taking him there putting him at risk when he should be home like all the other kids (or not ).
Just feel so bad about it

Why should you feel guilty if you work for the NHS and are helping the sick

I guess it’s because he will be at nursery with other kids of potential nhs worker kids and any of them (inc. my child) could be incubating it anytime

Please don't feel guilty

I'm sorry I can't offer any other advice. I have 3 close friends who work for the NHS and I am so proud of them. I can't imagine how hard it must be for you. You are playing a very important role in fighting this. We are all in this together. Hopefully life will be back to normal soon.

Wishing you all the best. Stay safe.

I'm a key worker in law enforcement protecting our borders. It's a nightmare at the moment. I can work from home but have to go on vists. I feel incredibly guilty. Especially as I live with an NHS frontline worker. It's a normal way to feel. But we have no other choice. Thanks for you hard work OP

I feel guilty too. Everyone getting to stay home and protect their children and I feel like mine are being sent to the wolves. Not much help but just solidarity.

I would - because I’d hate to put my child at risk. So I can understand why you feel guilty, but thank you for doing that

Yes I did. I insisted that my DH was not going to work when I was scheduled to. It took him a while but he eventually grasped it. I think a lot of KWs are managing to avoid working at the same time. Not possible if you're a lone parent
