Let's be truthfully honest !!! no judging,no bitchyness ,no arguments
a simple yes or no will do

1-Have you or your children started hugging your family members yet ?
2- Have you been inside someone's house?
Do you wear masks still and keep your distance if you are doing either of these?

No to all

No, I've followed every rule at great detriment to my mental health. But if they delay May 17th relaxations I won't be anymore. I'll see my family indoors and hug my mum. We can't go on like this. They cannot expect people to socially distance from their own families indefinitely, it's inhumane and I won't subject my DC's to it much longer.

I haven't hugged anyone but my children are hugging their grandparents now.

Not been in houses, staying outside.

No and no.

Never hugged people as standard anyway outside of the household.
Have seen friends with SD in the garden but

I formed a childcare bubble with my son this week after 8 very long months of not seeing him or my GC. I'm hugging and kissing them every opportunity I get because when I leave I won't see them again until the school summer holidays.
I did a lateral flow test before travelling and will do another one before my journey home.

Yes we DH's family, been seeing them for months, lots caught covid off each other (we escaped) so obviously now we're continuing to do that.

My family, only just started. But we have.

We’ve had a few family members over. Didn’t distance from MIL/FIL, didn’t hug SIL/her partner but the DCs didn’t distance from them! Both times the plan was to stay in the garden but it got really cold 😬

Also met with a friend and it was unexpectedly warm/sunny. We ended up taking the DCs to her DM/DF’s garden and sitting in the shade in their garden room.

Not that it makes any difference to the rules but in these scenarios, everyone apart from DH and DCs have had at least one vaccination and we live in areas with very low rates.

I've let DD (3) hug grandparents outside (They have had first vaccination). I'm not a huggy person so haven't hugged anyone but I have been sitting at a normal distance from parents and a friend outside. Not been inside houses except to take DD to the toilet at my parents'. I don't wear a mask while outside meeting people.

Didn't for the first 2 weeks of the first lockdown but have carried on as normal since then and so pleased that I have. Seen the awful effect on the mental health of those that have complied, especially their children.

1. Yes.

1. Yes.

No masks and no SD recently.

1. No because we’re not a huggy family
2. Yes no ones bothering but we’re not having gatherings, it’s just people dropping in.

Been inside houses but I didn't hug before the pandemic and I don't intend to start now !!

I haven’t really hugged but not stopping the children now.

Yes we’ve been in houses & had people in ours. Some attempt at ventilation but now nearly all of us have had at least one vaccine (& most of us were v low risk anyway) we aren’t sticking to outside when it’s snowing!

Not a hugger so no to that.

Yes I've been inside my parents' house. I try to keep a little distance but mostly we forget. No masks now either. I've had one vaccine, my parents have just had their second. Also been inside my in laws' conservatory and minimal distancing. They've also been vaccinated.

Not too fussed about going into other people's houses but will continue to visit parents.

We have been sitting outside mainly at my inlaws, but if it's cold we sit in the conservatory with the doors open and they sit in the next room. The kids hug them around their waist.

We're cautious but want our lives back. They dont see anyone except us and both of them are fully vaccinated. Everyone else is strictly outside only still and no hugs! We are seeing our friends for the first time in over a year on Sunday, but outdoors.

It's all been very tough on grandparents I think. We have had the financial and job worries, but they've spent virtually a year without seeing their grandchildren at an age where they want to be making the most of them.

Yes - one friend who is a hugger got me.
Yes - been in people's houses - mostly walked through to garden or kept windows open - but not always. Haven't made a thing of it. Don't care anymore.

I followed all the rules till February and washed all my shopping too! But March broke me!

If things go bad again I will go back to following them but I need a break.

I haven't hugged anyone. I have been in someone's house - just the two of us - but we didn't stay in for long, took our coffees out into the garden

I do feel like I'm in the minority though, most friends are now having people in their houses - although trying to be sensible though , minimal numbers, windows/patio doors open. Even a friend who this time last year was absolutely terrified (wouldn't leave the house, or let her healthy children out!) is being quite relaxed now

Yes to inside house no adults hugging but kids have.

Haven't hugged anyone - REALLY missing it, as we hug everyone! Sorry to those who aren't huggers, but I would even hug you .

Haven't been inside anyone's house, but DD has been going into boyfriends house for a few weeks now, and he has been coming in here. When they went back to school, and were sharing classrooms and trains, we relaxed our strict ways. They were kissing anyway, so we gave up the pretence. We still keep a distance inside though, from him, and he with us. As per above, can't wait to give him a big hug soon .

Do you wear masks still and keep your distance if you are doing either of these?

Yes, I never stopped. Yes, have had a friend at my place every fortnight throughout lockdown. We are not in a bubble. No masks etc.

No.

Don't use what others nay or may not do to justify your actions.

Do what suits you because it suits you. If it works fir you, dies it matter what others are doing?

Myself or my family aren't really huggers so no problem there.

We go as a family to my dads house (inside) once as week and often meet up with my siblings there too. We consider ourselves to be one big bubble and would isolate if any of us had symptoms.

Yes to both

Have sat in my friend's kitchen, and had DS and his GF sitting in our kitchen for a short time . Both occasions we had outside door open and kept distance . We have an outside heater so as long as it's dry we sit outside and will continue with this as much as possible .

My mum is in a care home. I have had a few person to person visits since 8th March. I have to wear mask and gloves, advice is I can sit alongside her and hold her hand but not full body hug. I follow the advice .

I have twice weekly testing before I can visit in the care home .
