Lockdown, would this annoy you?

[Overthehill1]

Throughout lockdown we have only gone out for essential food shopping. I have not seen my family as keeping us, our daughter and all is of upmost importance.

My husband now says his brother called him about a fallen tree in the field and he wants him to go and cut it up with him. I've voiced my concerned that different households should not be spending time together. His brother is still going into work and his wife is a key worker, so they would be in contact with various people, which I feel increases the risk. However, my husband insists that his brother wants him to cut the tree with him and him and so he us going to do it.

Am I right to feel annoyed at my husband?

Sorry for the long thread, just needed to vent x

Will he be able to stay a safe distance from him ? It’s not exactly socialising is it ?

You're not wrong. @Majorcollywobble It's unnecessarily seeing someone and so it's against the rules. The tree can wait until after lockdown.

@Overthehill1 You can go out for walks and stuff, there's nothing wrong with that. You're allowed to exercise more than once a day now, including walking. www.birminghammail.co.uk/news/midlands-news/brits-can-now-exercise-more-18115984

Yes this would annoy me. He's putting you in a difficult position, no doubt you feel a sense of it sounding ridiculous, something so simple as going to help his brother cut down a tree in a 'normal' world would be fine, but these aren't normal times.

I have a similar situation with my ex arranging for our son to go and spend the day with his friend, I soon put a stop to it, and i feel ridiculous for doing it. My son's friends parents are both still working and therefore exposing them selves to more risk.
