Play dates tier one

[Zannado]

Dh won’t allow dd to have play dates atm much to her dismay because of shitty covid

Any thoughts? Feel like I’m cut in half

Dd is an only child

Is she school age? If so you could perhaps arrange play dates with a child in her class as they are already bubbled.

We are still doing them in tier 1. If they spend most their time with those kids at school I can’t see the issue .

Could she have play dates with kids in her school bubble?

Can you not have outside playdates at the park/woods/someone's garden?

It’s allowed I would let her while you can, if you ban it now and then get moved up a tier it will be even longer before she can do it, could feel quite lonely for her given covid is going nowhere soon.

The children she wants round are in her class bubble but dh isn’t happy with her going to their houses ....he said he doesn’t really want them coming round ours but will if she is desperate but she is getting desperate now tbh ...I think we are heading into tier 2 so tempted to let her have a a friend round in half term perhaps.

She has met a few friends in the park which has been ok but not the same and she has FaceTime but again not the same....

We are tier one and have an only child. We’ve been doing play dates inside with his friends from his class and outside with his friends outside his bubble. Has been nice as obviously over lockdown we couldn’t - and I reckon within another month or two we won’t be able to!

Well if they can socially distance fine - unlikely though so it’s against guidance

I’d not allow them either, it would be hard at that age to stick to social distancing and indoors is higher for transmission. I’d allow them outdoors where I knew SD would be adhered to.
