Am I allowed to visit my family on Easter Sunday?

[LidiaM]

hi guys,

I live 30 mins drive from my parents who are in their mid 40s, they also live with my younger brother. We are normally very close and we havents seen eachother in about a month (since law have suggested that we should stay at home)

We stay at home, my husband goes shopping once every 2 weeks, my baby who is 8 months old havent been out for the last month.

We understand the risk of going out and we even stopped walking together or exercising...
I am wondering if in UK we are allowed to visit my family on Easter Sunday?
I am asking because I know they are safe,
we arent sick either.

I am very annoyed because I have friends who visit their families or siblings who they not live with all the fricking time and I am sticking to this quarantine but a little bit fed up now knowing that peope still visit their families and I havent,

I really want tl go to see them on Sunday, what you guys think?

skinnywannabeKBH - not that it makes it any better but was the lady who died an older person?

Your friends are part of the problem.

Look at the workload of the GM Police last weekend - I note this includes street parties which even the BBC have lauded as valuable community events. Mixed messages? Clearly 600+ group thought so.

[HarrySnotter]

Yes, you should go. The rules do not apply to you or your family, just to other people. I've not been over the door for weeks because I'm shielding but you carry on so that the rest of us have to stay indoors even longer. God forbid you should consider anyone else.


Of course it's not ok, don't be so bloody ridiculous. FFS.

[HarrySnotter]

I am so angry at them, they dont give a shit and I have explained that they shouldnt but they dont seem to care at all.....

And nor do you or you wouldn't even has asked.

[Hollyhobbi]

No. Stay at home, save lives OP!

[MintyMabel]

Are you living under a rock?

[SkinnywannabeKBH]

@BrandyandBabycham I'm assuming older, her children are maybe late 30s early 40s.
I dont know them personally.

While people are still flying around all over the place on holiday, I don't see much point to any of the other measures.

[bridgetreilly]

No.

And if other people are doing it, report them.

They aren't.

[fivesecondrule]

Yes- the good Lord will protect you with it being Easter Sunday.

[RingtheBells]

And we are being asked if we want to pay for this website...

[Devlesko]

If you have isolated for over a month and not been anywhere, why not?
If there is absolutely no chance that any of you have caught the virus, it's just rules for the sake of rules.
No way should you take any chances though.

[timetest]

Dear God, No.

[GaaaaarlicBread]

@Devlesko ridiculous , if everyone had that attitude we’d be even more fucked than we are already .

[whitedogpoo]

@devlesko and that’s the attitude that will cause many more deaths and lockdown to last even longer. Unfortunately you can’t argue with stupid so I won’t bother.

[notalwaysalondoner]

@Devlesko but they haven’t - they’ve been to the shops.

[Toilenstripes]

Instead of asking Mumsnet just watch the daily government briefing. Every day at 5pm. Easy easy.

[ChrissieKeller61]

If I liked any of my family enough to do so and they were local i'd arrange to be in the same place at the same time for exercise. That seems to be the way around it. Just stay 2 meters apart

[TheSandman]

NO! What? you think God gives the virus a day off?

[Likefootball]

I think you know the answer to this , phone them instead.

[MarieQueenofScots]

Yet another thread full of self-important whingebags who can’t even be bothered to read the thread before piling on to give someone the kicking they’ve been salivating over.

OP well done for taking advice on board. It absolutely sucks when you do the right thing and see others blatantly flouting the rules.

[Linlinds]

No you can't really. I get what you are saying but if you are allowed then so are we. We haven't seen our parents and have locked down too. I was meant to be on holiday this week but I haven't gone as we are not allowed to travel unless it's essential.
