Don’t hug your Grandma..

[HolmeH]

Is CW & the govmt deluded? Grandparents have been allowed to do childcare since November. Pretty much every friend I have used their parents over lockdown at some point, if not several days every week to be able to work. Admittedly my social circle has predominantly under 6’s. Do they really think young grandchildren & grandparents are keeping their distance during the childcare bubbles?

My local infant school playground that my house overlooks is filled with grandparents picking up their grandkids since they went back. Hate to break it to them but every single one is hugging them & holding their hand ..

Sometimes I wonder what they actually think the real world is like for working parents, particularly with younger children 🙈

My teenage DS has not hugged his granny yet, although is at that awkward age so probably wouldn’t even if COVID wasn’t around.

But DM is in her 80s and DS is at school, so throughout this pandemic probably one of the riskiest combinations (apart from healthcare settings), until the vaccine was introduced.

Well, except for end March 2020 - September 2020 and Jan 2021 - 8th March 2021.

My children were in school throughout. The only time they hugged was mid August 2020 after we'd all been home for a few weeks.

How nice for your kids? What do you expect me to say here?

Undeniable that schools HAVE NOT been a risky place to be for the majority of UK kids for huge swathes of the last 12 months as they were closed to them.
