A bubble one

[tenlittlecygnets]

Dd -17 - has a fairly serious boyfriend. Been together 8 months, nice boy. She is not distancing from him and now that lockdown is over, she has asked if he can come in the house/she can go to his. It's cold outside...

Do and I are not sure.

What have you done in the same circs?? We did let him be part of our bubble earlier this year, but am not sure now. There are more cases, he's seeing lots of people every day at school...

Wwyd?

He's not allowed to bubble with you, unless he's with you for childcare purposes or lives alone!
If that doesn't worry you, then you need to make a decision based on the perceived risk.

Unless he lives alone he isn’t allowed to be part of your bubble. I would let them continue to meet outside and turn a blind eye to them not social distancing outside.

Strictly speaking people are right but my dd has seen her bf (together 2 years ) because we think the regulations are ridiculous, there should be an exemption for established relationships who do not live together for logistical reasons, also for young adults who have divorced parents who in theory can't see one parent, so wrong and raising it with my mp who said he felt it was ridiculous an 18 year old can't see both parents just because the parents are divorced (but a 17 year old can)
