Dad in shared flat

[Light11]

My x lives in a shared flat with 3 other adults (all unrelated) he wants to have LO stay over in his room. I am seriously not comfortable in pandemic times with this, too many people sharing, just does not seem ok. He is adamant this is allowed. I am high riskier but not shielding. (I don’t need to shield).

How can this be allowed it does not seem right aibu

Any ideas? I told him he better start thinking about moving with family if this situation goes on.

Do you have a child arrangement order? If not then you're under no legal obligation to hand LO over to him.

Sounds like my ex, he also lives with 3 random men so can’t have the children there, he’s fine with that though. I wouldn’t allow it even without the pandemic tbh

He's right that it is allowed, as there were specific exemptions made for kids to see both parents. You're right it is higher risk than if he lived on his own - though probably no higher than someone living with a partner and her kids (who may also be going to see their dad)

Would he agree to see the kids outdoors instead? If he does take them to his he'd be best keeping them in his room as much as possible. And he must of course be taking to his housemates first to be sure noone is actually ill.

How old is the child?

We did lots of outdoor time together but after doing this 2 times a week weeks on it gets tiring for everyone.

It looks like things are improving with the virus so we spoke about what will happen if things get worse again.

Very tricky for parents who rent share
