Would you visit dad in this situation?

Thinking of driving to another town c. 1.5 hours away to meet up with DF (mid 70s, pretty healthy), outside in a park and distanced obviously. The thing is I'd have to take DC3 who is 5 months and EBF. Do you think this violates the "meeting one on one only" rule? I'd keep DC3 in the sling the whole time.

@audweb not meeting people? I realise single parents have to take their children with them for essential shopping trips, but meeting people isn't in the same category of activity.

I think single parents are some of the most in need of adult company.

OP as long as you’re not banging a moral drum about rules, it’s fine.

If you are - stop banging a moral drum about rules! 😂

I saw a few fathers in the park with babies. At least, I think they were the fathers....if your dad looks young....

I honestly don’t think even our police would question this.

Lljkk “ I had police at my door (exercise violation) 5 weeks ago.”

OMG I missed this earlier. What is an exercise violation? What did they say?

For me it's the moral question - how can you expect anyone else to stick to the rules if you don't yourself.

I don’t get this either- you’re not the moral guardian of the nation it isn’t up to you to set an example.

And even if it was what you are proposing is fine.

If you were talking about taking a child who takes up more space/runs around/would struggle to distance that’s different.

@FraterculaArctica nope sorry, I don’t think I should avoid all adult human interaction just because her dad never has her. I’ve parented solo for weeks now, and for my own mental health I’ll take her with me. Not buying that everyone else can meet up with one other person but single parents have to continue to never have adult company, outside, socially distanced. I’ve had to take her shopping with me- I think that’s more risky than sitting outside in park with one other person.

Of course it is fine. Go and enjoy.
