Hi everyone, sorry I have kind of asked this before but it's really stressing me out.
So dcs dad lives up the road and before all this would come and visit baby everyday for few hours, now due to lockdown this can't happen I assume? So dc is now going to his house (living with parents at the moment, who are both still working) for a few hours a day. The thing is he is such an unconfident person with really bad anxiety and I can see it in his face when I drop dc off that he is nervous about having him alone, which then makes me nervous for them both!
I still want him to see his dc as I think it's really important to their relationship, but it worries me when dc is there so what would you guys do?
Just to add he is a great dad and more confident when he is at my house visiting and I'm in the background he just gets on with it, but doesn't do great when he is alone.

If dc is going to dads house that’s no different than dad coming to your house? Or am I missing something?

Thanks for the reply, well that's what I was thinking, and to be honest I would prefer that, I just didn't know if it was within the rules for him to visit DC at mine

Makes more sense for him to come to you

How old is dc? For whose benefit are the visits?

BlessMeDarkFather · 07/04/2020 20:33

DC is 5 months and the visits are so they can bond

I believe that he can visit you if you and he do not have a high risk person living with either of you, given your child's age and the fact that this was a child access agreement already in place.

Thank you 😊 his mum and sd are not high risk, (though his sd does care for someone high risk for work) and just me and dc in my house
