If you saw this group of people would you judge?

[EatingAllTheCookies]

4 adults, 2 teens, 4 kids , 2 pre schoolers and baby.

Which would be perfectly within the rules to have a bubble because the family with the baby is under 1 year (or under 1 on 2nd Dec 2020)

Family 1 = 1 teen, 1 child, 1 pre schooler, 1 baby
Family 2 = 1 teen, 3 kids, 1 pre schooler.

This is out of curiosity.
This could very well of been our bubble with a sibling, but we have my DFather instead.

I have no intention of swapping or whatever it just made me think.. How many would judge if that was a bubble and we were seen in each others houses park etc

I wouldn't judge - doubt I'd notice tbh.

I wouldn't judge but going by some of the threads on here plenty would be frothing. It's a sad day when somebody considering doing something completely legal is worried about being judged for it

...in each others houses park etc

Not sure what else you could mean by etc but I'd probably judge if they were all traipsing around a supermarket together

Im prepared to be flamed but yes i would judge. So part of it would be my misunderstanding of the rules, i thought a bubble could only be made if it was a single person or parent of children - so in your scenario i would assume 4 adults are 2 couples..therefore not a single parent.
I didnt know that familes could make bubbles with other families!.
I also feel that that is too many people to all be together.

Sorry i just meant, country park, woods, local green areas.
Certainly not a supermarket.

No I have no interest in what others are doing tbh.

I would be horrified. I would probably sob and shake a bit, then I would run around looking for the nearest covid marshal and report to them in the hope that these people would be shot, or at the very least placed in the village stocks for 3 days and 3 nights.

Yes in December it changed that even couples if had an under 1 could bubble with another household.

Yes its a lot of people.
As I said my df is our bubble. However it could easily of been my sibling.

I would give that many people a wide berth!

Just because the advice says you can, doesn't mean it's a good idea. We're supposed to be staying at home as much as possible and I can't think of a single good reason why 13 people would need to be out together.

@LucilleTheVampireBat that made me laugh

I'd be surprised as it's a very big group to see now, but providing you were thoughtful of the others around so you and they could distance appropriately then I wouldn't automatically judge.

The idea of the baby under one bubble is for support from family, or socialisation with another parent and baby arrangement, not two large families all going out together. I personally wouldn't care as long as they weren't all taking up the paths, and not walking single file to let others past. I can see why some might care though.

It may technically be legal, but I don't agree that's in the spirit of things. I'm sure when that rule was brought in, it hadn't meant in scenarios like this.

But then I'm not the best person to ask, as I'm a single parent and have not formed a bubble with anyone. I'm working and would hate to inadvertently spread the virus to anyone. I appreciate that my thinking is not the same as most

I would not care. It takes all my energy to stay in the rules myself, don't have spare capacity to worry what other people's situations are.

The bubble rules re babies seem to lax, should have stuck to the single person household only and childcare bubbles only where it’s needed for parents to work not for date nights etc. Too much mixing still.

I wouldn't care or even notice.

Honestly - if I noticed, I'd be jealous.
I'm desperatly missing my parents, but we dont meet any of the bubble definitions. Between local tier rules, I saw my Dad once in 2019. Mum a couple of times more, as she did a 5 hr round trip to sit in our garden a couple of times.

I saw quite a few largish groups out yesterday, I just can’t care about it.

Couldn't give a shit

Yes

Sounds like an unnecessary take on the well exploited 'bubble'

Just because you can, doesn’t mean you should.

Nope the under 1 bubble is allowed and with good reason! Annoyingly it was kept very quiet so many would judge without knowing the rules

Whilst legally allowed, that is a large number of people to be together in a group and possibly the parents could get help and support with their under-one baby by meeting with just one or two members of the other family.

Yes I didn't know about the under 1 bubble until long after but as I said I wouldn't. But could in theory.

I would judge yes. No need to meet up in such a large group.
