I'm curious.

I did today. I let my dc go to grandparents for weekend.

went out 3-4 times a day when only once was allowed (DD has Asd and severe learning diffs and very challenging behaviours - we just did not cope inside)

Me and dh hugged mil, she was crying proper sobbing as it was the anniversary of fil death.

I care not a jot for having broken any rules, sometimes the persons well being at that moment is more important. Mil is an elderly ffs, if she needs a hug she gets one.

It’s been over 2 weeks And no none of us are ill, we all survived the hug

Broke the rules today. Was driving with my daughter and saw a traffic accident in the road in front of us. Daughter and I both looked after the victim for half an hour til the ambulance arrived. No social distancing.

I posted the other day to say we were breaking the rules and meeting parents for a walk. Hadn't seen them in 3 months.

They wouldn't let the kids hug them or hold their hands and kept jumping away from them. I know they want to stick to the rules and we of course respect their personal space and choices but in the end I wish we hadn't. It just felt horrible. Watching my sons face as he his grandpa moved away and refused his hand... he knows about the bugs but the face was of pure rejection.

Not at all but I’m working in a hospital and unfortunately I have seen the devastating results so I just couldn’t break the rules. I’d be really upset with myself.

We are shielding and my parents also have shielding grandparents staying. So when my mum brought supplies round and 10 yo DS was inconsolable that he couldn't have a cwtch, we put an adult hoodie on him backwards (so it covered his face) and let him.

DB went to see our shielding DM from a distance. Then he came over here and played in the garden with my DDs his Neices and we regret nothing! Girls were overjoyed DH liked kicking a ball around in garden and me and DB got to have a chat now he's actually seen DM for first time in months. Smile

My parents are coming round to provide childcare to enable us to work. Both me and dh are still working full time. All the nurseries here are closed. Initially I switched to working night shifts and I just didn’t sleep after them so I could look after my one year old. But now I’ve realised this is going to be a long term thing, that’s not sustainable. So my parents come and look after her so I can sleep

I've had GC here, their mother is front line HCP and working 12 hr shifts plus travel time. They are early teens so are fine on their own really but get bored so walk round, sit in the garden and have a chat. Sometimes they have a meal.

Travelled 200 miles round trip to visit where my mum was buried, on the first anniversary of her death. Set off very early, the place was deserted. Had a cry, but glad I did it.

Had a 20 minute chat with my Dad in his garden, sitting 4m apart. Left him a bag of frozen meals I’d made him.
Then drove home.
