Coparenting and corona

[47mum47]

I know that the government guidelines state children are allowed to move between parents houses.. but opinions on moving between houses which are 8 hours apart?

Bump

The duration needs to be longer i guess, two weeks here, two weeks there?

One parent keeps the child with them and the other has FaceTime, email, text messaging, Skype etc.

You can't keep travelling back and forth between each other's houses when you're eight hours apart, that is not essential (as in life or death) travel.

We’re 3 hours apart and are not planning on seeing DSD until the current rules are ended or at least relaxed. I know we can see her under the current restrictions but we don’t think that the benefit to DSD is worth the risk to her and the other children and adults in each house. We’re making use of FaceTime a lot and when we can we will make up for this.

I'm the RP, for the time being DS is still going to my ex's house, with ex picking him up in the car and taking him straight home. But he only lives a 30 minute drive away. Being the RP, I wouldn't even consider it if ex lived 8 hours away, in case of a sudden stricter lockdown and DS not being able to get home to me.

We live and hour and half apart and kids are staying with their dad RP, for now. I'm a key worker and doing loads of hours to cover our bills. Their dad is still working at school opposite days to his partner. The kids and I facetime several times a day. It seemed like the most sensible option for the time being to stop us all having extra exposure and reduce the risk to my client group.
Don't get me wrong its heartbreaking and there have been lots of tears. But I know the kids are safe, I'm still sort of seeing them and it's not forever. Hopefully x

My son has never been to his dads next week would be the first time, he goes 16 weeks without seeing him sometimes due to 'personal reasons' and other times it ranges between 3 and 12 weeks. I said he can video call daily even a few times a day if wanted.
