I don't want dh to volunteer to help?

And I feel awful about it. He has told me the NHS are calling on volunteers for assistance with delivery of medication etc. He wants to volunteer. I don't want him to.

We have two small dc. Im working from home FT and he is a key worker but only needed two days a week. I work as much as possible on the three days he is home and obviously reduced amounts on the two days he is out at work.

On the days he is having to go out to work we are following steps to minimise our exposure - his clothes into the wash as soon as he gets in, shower, antibac door handles etc.

We are compiling a list so we only need to to one food shop per week. We've cut to walking round the field next to our house when it's empty.

I don't want him to put himself at more risk. I don't want more opportunity to bring the virus indoor home or to spread it as carriers.

Yet I know, deep down, that I am being ureasonable. That if anyone can help, they should.

It’s ok to be worried. No one wants this to be happening at all. But maybe think of the upsides - him volunteering will likely give him a huge sense of mental well-being being able to do something useful. He can follow the same precautions entering the house.
