Was dropping off Easter Eggs ok?

[Year6teacher754]

We dropped off Easter Eggs for the children of our friends and family that we usually buy Easter Eggs for each year. We checked with each member of our family and friends first and they was ok with it.
But now one of my friends, albeit one who doesn't have a child (so we don't drop an Easter Egg at her house) has told us that what we did was "extremely wrong and extremely dangerous".
Would you say that we was in the wrong?

Is that really hard to understand? Dropping off Easter eggs is not essential.

My SIL texted me yesterday to say she was going to drop eggs for my kids off on our doorstep. They live 20 mins drive away. I told her not to. It's not an essential journey. If she lived round the corner and was dropping them off on her daily walk then that's different. Unnecessary car journeys are not permitted. I still travel to work and the roads are still full of cars with full families in them. There is no need! The only time you should have kids in the car at the moment is if you are a single parent with no-one to look after them at home while you make an essential journey. Why can't people understand this??

It didn't harm anyone. No more risk had than the families would have encountered buying their own at tesco. And op didn't crash or breakdown or any other hysterical possibilities so no recovery services were in convinced in the process

To be fair, you've done it, so what does it matter what anyone thinks now any way?

@Thankful2020 is your keyboard buggered?

Bet your friend was miffed because they didn't get an Easter egg. I suppose technically it's an unnecessary thing but depends on context. I took home made cake to my mum yesterday. Alongside her medical stuff that I'd got from the pharmacy on Saturday. The purists would argue that I should have left the cake at home and only taken the medication.

Drcoconut no. Your journey was essential. What you dropped in addition to medication was your business. The OP did not need to go anywhere.

DrCoconut no that was an essential trip. The fact you added cake you made isn't an issue. If you'd gone just to drop cake then that would be non essential.

I drop homemade cooking and baking in addition to food shopping to an elderly relative who has mental health problems and is vulnerable. I dont drive so dh has to take me and the dc in the car. Dh and dc wait in car while I go, stand 2 metres away put the items on the ground and the relative gets them and goes. I cannot leave on doorstep as they don't have their own front door and to reduce risk we do the exchange outside the building.
Dh cannot go on his own because of the relatives mental health anxiety issues so it can means they are only comfortable with me on a given day etc. To onlookers they will se a family in the car and think we are flouting the rules.

(I know I'm missing the point here, but are you really a year 6 teacher? I'm usually not the grammar police but I'm bored and in lockdown so ..... your grammar isn't great for a year 6 teacher)..
