A question on support bubbles.

[Harleyisme]

My situation is i have 3 children 2 with sen. A 16 year with asd, adhd and anxiety and a 6 year old with asd with pda profile, spd, hypermobility, Learning disabilities, Learning difficulties. My husband is always at work and work extra hours to ensure we can afford for me to be a stay at home parent. My parents support us as my 16 year has to be support to and from collage. My 6 year old is 2 to 1 for going out when we can get him to leave the house. Currently as well his appointments we aren't allowed to take the other children with us. We honestly wouldn't be able to do anything including shopping for shopping my mum looks after my children while my dad acts as taxi so i can get there an back as quick as possible.
We thought this would be covered under support bubbles and childcare support but we have been 'shamed' on facebook due to a my parents post wishing my dc a happy birthday and saying see you later that we are breaking rules thay we don't come under the bubble support or childcare support admittedly he is the kind of person who believes that he knows everything.

Fuck him. Anyone who ‘shames’ people on Facebook isn’t worthy of your time or attention.
Do what you need to do to survive.

Agreed!

The bubble support is for single people who live alone, or single parents so maybe that’s what they are cross about. You would still be covered under the childcare support though.

Thank you for the response.
So the childcare support should cover us.
Your right he isn't worth the time. And as you say we are only doing what we need to do to survive.

Childcare bubbles are for children under 14 (not sure if there are allowances for SEN). Disregarding this though it would surely be allowed under the exemption of caring for the vulnerable.

My other 2 arw under 14 they are 6 and 5 so if i take the 6 year to an appointment my mum looks after my 5 and 16 year old.
I thought we would come under caring for the vulnerable but its all confusing am not sure whats what anymore and if we are breaking the rules.

Childcare is allowed, that’s basically what your parents are doing, carry on you obviously need the support and sorry that some people comment without knowing the facts.

Childcare bubbles are allowed, plus it’s always been allowed to provide care to vulnerable people. If your son can’t leave the house without 2:1 care then I’d include him in that.

I thought we would be under the vulnerable people part. I suppose people have there own ideas on what they decide they all mean.

Ignore this person
You’re not breaking any rules

I’d be blocking and ignoring said person from now on
He is Not worth the headspace

I don't know what the rules are without looking them up but given your situation i think you do what you need to do in order to make life liveable! Ignore your cockwomble of a friend and enjoy the birthday celebrations.

I have deleted the person as even if they thought what they thought there was a far better way than 'shaming' us on fb like that.
