Would you say something??

[BooseysMom]

Just been watching two young kids from different households playing closely together. This has been going on for days. The parents seem to be completely fine with this and seem to have come to an arrangement as both are obv fed up of having to look after them. Am i alone in thinking this is wrong? Esp as we're making sure our DCs stay away from others. So what would you do? Turn a blind eye or raise it with them??

Looks like children don’t really spread it and are very very minor impacted, as are people under the age of 55 with no underlying health conditions. Probably less than a hundred have died.

Lockdown also being lifted from Monday. I’d let it go

No I wouldn’t say anything

I think you should go out and spray them with disinfectant

Pfft. If it's been going on for days it's too late anyway. Let it be.

Thanks @Bluntness100. I needed to hear that as i was about to have a go at the parents!! Horrendous PMT not helping matters!

If they are just mixing with each other and other households, I really can't see the harm. It's not spreading anything and they are outside, active and socialising.

@Bluntness100 being lifted from Monday? Says who?

They don't know if children are spreaders or not. They may not get so ill with symptoms or have as severe symptoms but to say they don't isnt true.

I still wouldnt say anything tho. You'll be met with abuse

I don't see the harm personally - children are low risk spreaders apparently

Sick of the corona virus do gooders - out for a run yesterday and a woman made a comment about the 2m social distancing when I ran past on the very edge of the payment. If I'd moved anywhere I'd be in the middle of the road in the traffic and I was passed her in a fraction of a second. There was at least 1.5m between us

There will be a cure for the corona virus eventually there won't be a cure for her being a sanctimonious 🐄

Tbf we and our neighbours both have young kids, ds has not left the house bar a walk in 7 weeks. I know they're the same as weve been chatting over the fence, I'd have no concerns if the kids wanted to play together. (As it stands ds is 4 and theirs is 18 months so no interest in playing together)

Not your business.

Since when is lockdown getting lifted on Monday?
Source?
Have I misses something or is this just people making their own news up again?

@LemonadeAndDaisyChains Boris said today he wants to start easing the restrictions monday and will announce sunday what that means

It doesn't mean lockdown will be lifted

It could simply mean several more businesses will be allowed to reopen etc. Nothing more

Lockdown is NOT being lifted from Monday! And social distancing will remain in effect even after they reopen some businesses!

Boris said today he wants to start easing the restrictions monday and will announce sunday what that means

Ah right, thanks - I did hear that but I took it to mean that they would be looking at/starting to ease restrictions but not that lockdown would be lifted - he hasn't said anything like that much as far as I'm aware.

It doesn't mean lockdown will be lifted confused

It could simply mean several more businesses will be allowed to reopen etc. Nothing more

Exactly.

Why would you go have a go at the parents?

If they have decided between them, that the risk is low let them get on with it.

Stop watching the kids.

I doubt lockdown will be liften Monday. I think businesses will start opening, but outside work, lockdown will continue a bit longer.

But thats not the point. If the governments experts can sneak his girlfriend in for a shag, the kids can play together.

Also the 'they are obv fed up of looking after them' is just plain nasty.

You concentrate on looking good after your own kids

Don't say anything, it's nothing to do with you

My neighbours have been mixing with their neighbours the whole time. I won't even go in my garden because the kids have no boundaries - from both families

Thanks everyone for all the valued replies.

This made me lol.. i think you should go out and spray them with disinfectant

I'm glad in retrospect that i didn't react to it. As some say it's none of my business. I'll just make sure mine doesn't play with them. It just feels unfair when i've been making sure they keep away from them.

If they’re keeping just within those 2 households I’d let them be. Maybe the children really need this. Maybe the parents really need the break. This kind of situation isn’t the problem

Leave them be.
