So after weeks of my childrens father not seeing them or skype-ing and being a bit useless he started weekly walks. About 2hrs long. This was apparently because his new wife was not comfortable with the risk of my children being at their house for their usual weekends.
This has finally progressed after about 4 weeks back to his fortnightly weekends. Partly because the children are most likely begging him. I think.
This weekend they went to his and met up with 3 different households during their 2 days there. (5 people, seperate occasions not all at once)
We have isolated pretty much the entire time. Minus food shop if cant get a slot and partner having to social distance work when he can. The children have gone nowhere.
I'm heavily pregnant, due for c section in less than 2 weeks and been advised to be strictly isolated due to going in for surgery. I made ex husband aware of this, he is clear on our family circumstances.
My initial reaction is I'm furious. I appreciate that one person (his mother) may of bubble with them, however the other 2 households (her family) cant also bubble with them.
My children said they didnt play with them much, but they do have a 2year old daughter, who unlikely didnt play with her nanny, grumpy, uncle etc
What is a reasonable request going forward? Suggest returning to walks from ours for the next month while I have hospital, and newborn coming home/being days old? Is this out of order to request this?
I appriciate the numbers are decreasing however I'm keeping the boys home from school etc (5 and 6yrs so reception and yr1) and isolating due to having surgery and bringing a baby home and not wanting to risk it and meanwhile hes not abiding by the rules at all. Also, the rules at present are still to not mix etc so why wouldnt we follow that till its advised otherwise.
