Am I allowed to meet 1 person with my household, or only me with 1 person
24
notanotheronepleasee · 01/11/2020 09:59
Can me and my kids meet my mum for a walk
Or can only I go for a walk with my mum
I just need clarification because this bit I feel is not clear
cheninblanc · 01/11/2020 10:01
I would say it's just you and 1 other person
Ponoka7 · 01/11/2020 10:01
If you or your Mum are a single Adult household, then yes. Or if it is a support need (including mental health).
Clearasmuddypuddles · 01/11/2020 10:02
Just you and one other person. I agree that part isn’t clear but it does say somewhere else in the document that it’s just you and 1 other.
Clearasmuddypuddles · 01/11/2020 10:03
It says YOU (as in a single person you) can meet either;
A) your household
B) your support bubble
C) one other person.
Not all 3 at once.
Racoonworld · 01/11/2020 10:04
Just you and one other person. Think about it like this, the rules say you can meet with one other person. So your one other person is your mum. Your mums one other person is you, so she can’t meet you and your kids at the same time as it would be more than one other person for her.
Ponoka7 · 01/11/2020 10:04
You and your children are a household. You can join up with one other person.
Two single parent households can still form a support bubble.
RichardMarxisinnocent · 01/11/2020 10:04
Unless you are in a support bubble with your mum (in which case the whole bubbles can meet) it's just you and your mum. Both parties needs to abide by by the one person rule - if your mum meets you and your children she is meeting more than one person.
Nosuchthingastoomuchcheese · 01/11/2020 10:05
Does it have to be a consistent nominated named person? Or can it vary? I'm not trying to find loopholes just wondered.
notanotheronepleasee · 01/11/2020 10:06
Thanks everyone.
My mum lives with my dad , and I have a DP so I guess I can't see her.
Mallemo · 01/11/2020 10:11
My MIL looks after our kids one day each week, which is apparently allowed. So does that mean she can look after the kids but we can’t go for a walk with her outside? That just makes NO sense.

You could leave your kids with your DP and have a walk with your mum by yourself
notanotheronepleasee · 02/11/2020 06:29
I see this has now changed and I will at least be able to go for a walk with my mum and my baby while DD is at school !
Wooo!!

@notanotheronepleasee
Wooo!!
Where did you read this? Is it just babies that are exempt then?
DanceThen · 02/11/2020 06:41
It hasnt changed?
You have always been able to meet up with your mum. Or your dad. Just not both at the same time. 1 meeting 1
I really dont understand whats so hard to understand?

Read on the BBC last night that children under school age weren't counted in this scenario- haven't double checked gov.uk though!
plixy · 02/11/2020 06:44
They have updated it to say under school age children don't count. Which is great as I have a 1 year old, so can at least meet my dad at the park with her.

@Ponoka7
Where did you find the guidance about support bubbles for mental health please? I can only find things that say they are for single adult households.
Racoonworld · 02/11/2020 06:57
@TheFormerPorpentinaScamanderq there aren’t support bubbles for mental health. Care for a vulnerable person is allowed though. But a large proportion of the population has mental health issues especially now so there is no specific bubble for it. I wish there was I could really do with some help.
TheFormerPorpentinaScamander · 02/11/2020 07:00
@Racoonworld that's what I thought. My brother is trying to persuade my mum to close my support bubble with her and have one with him and his wife instead as they both have depression.
I have anxiety and depression (and am a single parent) so I know how hard it is at the moment. But they don't really qualify for a bubble. I suspect however that he will 'win'. He always does. :(

@DanceThen
It has Changed 🙄
LadyPenelope68 · 02/11/2020 07:40
@TheFormerPorpentinaScamander
☹️☹️
No, she can’t firm a support bubble with them for that reason, but she can with you. Take care x
TheFormerPorpentinaScamander · 02/11/2020 07:47
Thanks @LadyPenelope68 that's how I understood it too. Hopefully she will realise and stick to bubbling with me.
LadyPenelope68 · 02/11/2020 07:48
@TheFormerPorpentinaScamander
Fingers crossed for you x
Racoonworld · 02/11/2020 07:52
@TheFormerPorpentinaScamander sorry that sounds so hard for you. He isn’t allowed a support bubble, no. I hope you get to keep yours. Another thing for you to mention would be that bubbles aren’t supposed to be changed, so your mum shouldn’t be swapping bubbles now anyway.
