Elderly in laws, camping, COVID

We are visiting elderly in-laws (overnight stay) with our two children. In laws went camping last week (unknown to me). They said the campsite was busy, facilities were cleaned regularly. Campsite is in the north of England. Personally, I would not go to a busy campsite at this time - and I’m now wondering if I should not see my mum (elderly) until I’m sure they/my family haven’t been exposed to anything. I went on a walk yesterday and in laws are not great at socially distancing - were talking to people on the walk and getting too close (I could see people backing off).

decided your priorities so made your bed now lie in it

The funny bunch are up and about OP. You sound careful and sensible, I remember your other thread. Your DH sounds naïve at best, or is he negligent? Not sure.
Right decision not to meet up with your mum. ILs are being a bit slapdash - next time there's a plan to visit you're going to need to ask what they've been doing first, which won't go down well but is entirely justified. You ARE NOT 'the bad person'!

What's with the shitty attitude from various posters? This isn't AIBU.

Wait 2 weeks before seeing them. There is no point protecting your Mum all this time to then start getting lax now

ThousandsAreSailing · 16/07/2020 08:47

Oops sorry. You are already with them. I would leave now
This is the time to be more careful now people are out and about.

Thank you @onalongsabbatical. That’s a kind comment! I don’t know what you’d call it - doesn’t do housework, doesn’t notice things, doesn’t organise anything, can’t do anything on time, waits for me to prompt him into action, doesn’t mention important things, and lets strangers in the house...

But yes, I’ll avoid seeing DM for 14 days - and it’s good to see most people think that’s the best thing to do!

How is he at work?

Do you mean he doesn’t do housework ever or only when prompted?

Lickmylegs0 · 16/07/2020 08:54

He works forever, 8am til 9pm pre Covid. He will do housework when prompted. He likes cooking so will do that - nothing else.

E.g bins - we’ve lived here a year and he still doesn’t know which day is bin day. I’ve moaned about it so many times and I’ve now given up.

That's a loooooooong working day. Does he even recognise you after that? You're carrying all the domestic concerns?
