Has anyone caved and hugged more than one loved one outside your HH?

Hello,

We have followed the lockdown rules to the letter. Nobody is on the shielding list (My DC, DP, Me and outside our household, my DM and DF)

We hadn't seen one another for 12 weeks and are all normally very close. My DD has been in tears at the prospect of seeing her grandparents, but not being able to hug them and my DM has struggled massively with this and last week asked, why can't we hug if we're all essentially self isolating? The chances of any of us carrying the virus are so remote. We just don't go out.

So this weekend, we did cave and we all had a cuddle. We were wearing masks, gloves and hairdressing type gowns which were immediately put in the wash. We then stayed apart in their garden for a couple of hours, before heading home.

We all needed it so much, but now I have to say, I'm starting to worry we did the wrong thing Sad

Were we wrong?

I'm allowed to hug my mum now we are a "support bubble" but we haven't. I'm not a hugger.

Laughing at the vision of you all dressed up in PPE to hug Grin
