Advice ex dc plus grandparent holiday

Hi, please be kind as I’m under a lot of stress because of this and really hoping for constructive feedback. I can’t seem to find anyone else online with this issue so I’ve come here :)

Ex wants to take children on a pre-COVID-booked UK beach holiday. They stay with him and his gf every other weekend (100m away), they are in my ‘bubble’ obviously, and we don’t go into my parents’ home, only into the garden. I’ve tried to keep us pretty safe during lockdown.

They’d be staying in a house with ex, his gf, and ex’s parents (who don’t live with them). Same house, same facilities. They would all be meant to keep social distancing at all times I believe, as per govt rules. I can’t see how they’ll manage that, I also believe they would be going to restaurants, to the beach, using public toilets, the list goes on and I am terrified about the risks.

If they bring back the virus to me I will be on my own, locked down in isolation (hopefully not hospitalised, but what would happen to the children then, social care?) caring for the children, unable to get my parents to help in case of transferring infection.

I know that is all worst case, but I’m trying to protect us and really want to say no to ex, but he is determined and I’m up against him and his whole family.

Would you let them go?

Any advice would be great :)

I really can’t see what your issue is , you sound like you are being a bit OTT , are you and the children not going out and about at all now , if so the risks are no greater of them catching something whilst they are with their other parent . As regards what happens if you catch it surely then their other parent will just take the children until you are better .
