Since all this has begun, I haven't had my parents in my house. We've all agreed it's safer to meet outside. Only once I've been in their home, just me.
Anyway, tonight I know, by chance, they've been to visit another family of 4, 2 adults 2 children inside.
I feel so jealous, and angry! I miss them so much and miss being in their home and them being here, my kids have missed this too. We've been trying to protect them and they've not tried to say they want to come inside or us with them.
I know my mum has already visited this family inside because it was raining, whereas we'd have called if off for another time, as a mutual decision.
Just confused what to think. I know they can choose what they do. I think I'm more angry at the other family for asking them, even though it is within the rules. I think my parents wouldn't have wanted to refuse.
I don't think others are wrong for doing stuff that's within the rules. Just these are my parents who are at risk and it feels unfair, that after trying so hard to keep them safe, other people get to spend the quality time with them that I miss so much. I don't know why, it's just not quite the same outside. Harder for them to hear. I'd usually get to see them both apart inside, as well as together.
Think I just needed to vent more than anything. X

Why haven't you met up inside ? Its been permitted for ages.

Even if you didn't meet up inside (which seems to be your decision, not theirs) what stopped picnics and garden meetings?

Because my dad is at high risk with health problems and both of them are at quite hight risk, being over 70. They've said themselves they would prefer to meet outside, because it is safer.
I have calmed down since writing my original post. I think they've just felt comfortable to say to us they'd prefer to meet outside. I can't help feel worried for them meeting others inside for a long period, and a little bit envious. I'll get over it though x
