Just a rant

I don’t get how children are allowed to travel between homes whether family members are isolated or not and other family members like grandparents, cousins etc can’t. It seems like they’re just picking rules to suit themselves.

No, they're just abiding by court orders and the more basic right of a DC's to see both parents. It's about minimising the amount of movements of people around the place, but parents/DC still need to see each other.

I’m with you op. But then my children don’t see their dad (his choice) so maybe that clouds my opinion. Even if they did I would be keeping them at home as I don’t think it’s worth the risk personally.

The courts accept that children need and must be allowed to see their parents if possible. it’s such a fundamental part of a child’s life.

There is no need for wider family. It’s about getting the balance right, that’s all.

Because both houses are the child's homes. They're not casual visitors.

I agree with you op. When I was a child I would have been fine not to see my dad for a while in these circumstances

But its not about you.

I’m taking my child to her father’s every weekend at the moment. The households only have contact with each other. Until advised otherwise I will carry on doing this as my child benefits from seeing both parents. The child is a member of both households rather than a visitor to either.

Some of us have no choice if there is a CO in place. We are in self isolation due to DC being ill. They still have symptoms yet they have to go as Ex has through lawyers threatened court action saying ive withdrawn contact despite me offering a direct replacement for the day isolation ends. I know it’s not a simple threat it’s how ex operates. Sad but some are unable to put their children’s well-being and safety first
