Grandchildren are next-door!!!

[Redwoodmaz]

I am fuming. I haven't seen my son [27] since before lockdown.
And our nextdoor neighbours have their adult children and grandchildren in their garden!!!
What don't they understand about 'Don't visit family or friends who don't live with you" ????

If the bloody football comes over the fence they're not having it back.

And ?

I'd put a screwdriver in it and send the deflated remains sailing over the fence..

Why haven't you seen your son?
Children are allowed to go to both parents if your not together x

I’ve taken my children round to play in grandparents garden. PIL stay in side and we wave to them through their patio doors.

She hasn't seen her son because he is 27 like lots of us adult children are staying away from parents to protect them

Her son is 27, therefore an adult whom I assume lives in his own household. No mixing of house holds, pop the football.

Report them to Big Brother

Looks like a lot of people still don't get it.

@whateverhappenstheremore
Exactly.

The neighbours are ALL in the garden together.
Grandparents, parents and grandchildren.

Only the grandparents live there. All the rest have come to visit.

OP, most of us in lockdown are really missing our families as are you. A minority are flouting the rules and potentially spreading the virus.

It's really annoying and I get your perspective, sadly I bet you'll get lots of people saying it's none of your business, are you the Covid police, and other comments. Brace yourself!

A27 year old son is an adult and should not be moving between households ffs. So OP is behaving responsibly,

The advice about letting children see both parents is aimed at young children

And thanks to the actions of people visiting friends and relations the death rate will be higher, the lockdown longer and harder and the recovery after harder.

So yes, she has every right to be annoyed

Oh stop it, Redwood. For all you know they could have been self isolating for a couple of weeks and are now clear.

Is there nothing else about which you can be irate?

If you want to see your son,
See him in an open space where you can keep your 2m distance or speak to him through the window / letterbox like some other people are doing.

No point complaining on here. Get on with it

lynda that's not the point!

Lynda what part of the instructions do you not get?

Do not visit friends and family. ....no ifs, buts or exceptions

@Lynda07 i don't think you understand how this works

Did they not watch the news last night??

It is bloody annoying though. I, like most people, haven’t seen my family for the duration and if I were to see others with a house full I’d be pissed off too.

Scarlet, I don't know what is the point. If all parties are safe, what's the problem? I don't do it, haven't been out for weeks and couldn't care less about seeing people but if I did and was sure none of us would be spreading the virus, there's nothing wrong.

What is wrong is the effect it is having on the op who doesn't seem to be able to mind her own business.

Same here. Next door have nanny come to babysit the kids twice a week so mum can go to work.

I know it’s frustrating but you can’t control it. For the sake of your mental health have a look at this

I haven’t seen my 28yo son for weeks now, I didn’t see my mother yesterday for her birthday. If I can do it wtf can’t others?

Because you can't actually know that someone is totally safe. It would be very unusual indeed for a group that big to have not been out at all for over 2 weeks ...no food shopping, no contact with a delivery man or any post, no bringing in the bins...

Quick, report them! I don’t doubt it’ll be the highlight of your week.
