DS contact arrangements HELP

I know the guidance is that it's okay to move under 18s between parents homes. My DS father however lives with two over 70s. He works on the streets of london and has not been socially distancing. Wwyd? I am worried about DS making elderly relatives Ill. I am also worried about ex making DS Ill. Not sure what to do for the best!

I think I would go for “we must protect the over 70s” and not send him. How would your ex react to that? Really difficult though.

Keep him with you. That's quite simply to understand surely?

Thank you @StrawberryJam200 have had the conversation and it went well much to my surprise.

I realise you are being sarcastic but if you need to ask then it's not unhelpful for someone to spell it out.

AvocadoPrime · 24/03/2020 18:10

I didnt ask to have it spelt out but I feel obviously terrible that my son cannot see his dad. Also things are not always straight forward and not everyone is rational and off the 'its flu' mind frame. I was worried about the reaction is all and second guessed myself.

I don't think anyone has said 'it's flu' here Confused

@playthestation goodness! I dont recall saying anyone here did. Are you okay? Go and nit pick somewhere else.
To spell it out simply for you.. as that's clearly what you are after..
My sons dad was in the 'its flu' brigade and can be very abusive when he hears something he doesn't like. These are unprecedented times and I was asking for reassurance more than anything! Thanks again for your input, and for policing my post. Much appreciated. I no longer need your 'advice' so feel feel to know everything elsewhere!

Erm ok. Sorry I thought when you quoted that you were talking about the thread. I have no idea what your child's dads opinion of CV is Confused
