When will we be able to see our mums again?

Can anyone make an educated guess?

Well it depends on whether you/your mum is high risk and how far away you live etc.

My educated guess is 11 weeks.

Just our mums?

My parents have been self isolating for 3 weeks, it's hard . If I wasn't doing their shopping I'd seriously consider self isolating for 2 weeks just so I can give her a hug. I do see them from afar when dropping off their shopping in the garden but it's not the same. They're really missing DS who they normally see a few times a week. No idea when it'll be considered safe.

As soon as lockdown finishes, not really in the vulnerable category though

Well OP specifically said mums Sangria so assume she's close to her mum, not everyone has a dad either.

I think it’ll be maybe 3-4 more weeks before I crack and go and see my mum, whatever else is going on. It’s already been 3 weeks for me. I usually see her at least once a week and talk most days. Problem is I’m pregnant and she’s a teacher so still in school some days which increases the risk. I think she may get it in the next few weeks

We have all been self isolating for weeks. I have a two and half week old baby. Just can't wait to see her and let her hold the baby.

I've no idea. I live a 2 hour drive away and normally visit once a month for the weekend. I have not visited since early Feb. I really miss my parents. I can't see me seeing them until the summer at the earliest. It is hard but I'd rather we all keep our distancing.

I don't know if I ever will💔
She's in a nursing home where there are confirmed cases.
If she gets sick I won't get to see her.
It is terrifying.

That's really awful and heartbreaking x x

I will never see my mum again as she passed away 9 years ago. But I was really struck and saddened that for a lot of people they might have spent the last mothers day apart from their mum. I really look forward to seeing my in laws again and hoping they will survive it.

My dad is dying of cancer in lockdown with his wife. He's 200 miles away. I probably won't get to see him ever again.

Mum has very bad health so I'll not be caving and visiting her at any point until this is WELL over. I can't lose both.

@QuayboardWarrior @mummyje20
I'm so sorry

Oh so sorry @mummyje20 and @QuayboardWarrior! I really do hope that you get to see them again🤞
My dad passed away unexpectedly around 18 months ago and I was not there with him during his last moments as they live in a different country. So the feeling of not being able to see them one last time is truly heartbreaking and unbearable to think!
I haven't seen my mum in almost a year ☹️and I don't know when will I be able to see her next...I would like to get on the 1st flight out when all this is over...but don't think that will be possible anytime soon...
OP if your mum is not high risk, best case is at the end of this lockdown period (so maybe around 2more weeks). But don't know how long they'll extend it for after that...so be prepared for it to be another 11 weeks or so.

I think at the end of lockdown I'm going to move me DH and 2 kids in with my parents and brother if it doesn't break any rules

@peanutbuttermummy thank you, i am so sorry you lost your dad, I lost mine in 2018 too

I don’t know- really missing them. My 2 year old asks every day. It’s just so upsetting knowing they’re missing out on memory making with my children. My 8month just won’t have the same relationship with them that my little boy has.

So sorry for all these stories above- such difficult times

@mummyje20 so sorry for your loss! Really hope and pray that your mum is going to be fine.. xx

@newmumagainn we did that at the start of this lockdown, moved our family in with my parents.

I was asked if I wanted to move in with my daughter and her family when the lockdown was announced but for various reasons I said no thank you . Big mistake 😟
