Ex causing trouble over outside meeting with friend

Just had ex randomly turn up whilst my friend was here sitting OUTSIDE in the garden distancing from me. My son was playing in the living room with me constantly checking on him and came no where near the back door. My son is positive. I am negative which means I could go out if I wanted to but no one to watch DS. As my friend was here my ex threatened to report us for breaking the rules!!! I said she was OUTSIDE!! My friend and I have followed the rules throughout so this has really angered us. I said to my ex if test and trace have contacted me to say I'm except from isolation then I am following the rules. He then asked where DD was I said at school as again text off T and T saying she doesn't have to isolate. And also negative pcr and lateral flows. I said to ex technically you could look after DD and make things easier for me!! He then said oh no thats not safe etc. This is a person though who himself hasn't followed the rules to the letter. He only got round to having his 2nd jab three weeks ago. He is 34. I asked why and he said he had been too busy to go for it!!!
So can my friend come and see me in the garden? If not I accept we are in the wrong and will not do it again

If you are double jabbed, you don’t have to isolate. Your friend is ok visiting you in garden as you don’t have symptoms. You are doing the right thing with other DC still going to school and you’ve done PCR tests. Tell your ex to keep up with the current regulations.

Presuming you are double jabbed you don't have to isolate as you have tested negative. You are perfectly allowed to meet your friend.

I’d be telling him he wasn’t welcome to drop by unannounced if he was going to behave like that.

He is your ex, he doesn't get a say in how you socialise with your friends. Follow the advice of T and T, don't listen to him.
