DH took young dc to see relatives

[Woodlandbelle]

I would prefer to be careful but his parents had the virus and are now covid free and lonely. But when he arrived to his parents the house was full of relatives three teenage grandchildren. Two uncles and an aunt plus the grandparents. He stayed there for at least 3 hours. Stupidly didn't think about the number of houses mixing and close proximity. Mil asked us to visit and come into the house two days after receiving a postive test so I am not really a fan but I do understand the loneliness. Now terrified for the dc if they have it and very angry with dh for not cutting short the visit.

Stupidly didn't think about the number of houses mixing and close proximity.

Has he been living under a rock for the last year? 🙄🙄

What are you asking? If your h is a numpty? He is.

I'd be fuuuuuuuuuming 😡😡😡😡😡

Jeezo.

Of course he thought about the proximity. It's usually our first thought when seeing a load of people in a setting they shouldn't be these days .
He just didn't have the backbone to walk away

Nohe doesn't have any sort of backbone in situations like this. He also said children are not vulnerable. So pissed off right now. I can't stand it. Worrying a lot. He said his parents have had it. So it's OK. His sister works in a hospital no with the actual patients.

Personally i wouldn't be concerned unless anyone is vulnerable but if you are unhappy then that's understandable. Does he share your concerns generally about mixing?

Most people I know are mixing with family now (non vulnerable members) - Yes i know its against rules but no one i know follows them fully.

Honestly my entire family is working full time so the rules currently seem ridiculous.

Unless your children (or you) are vulnerable, your worry seems out of proportion for their risk

with regard his sister - honestly my nhs friends are the worst rule breakers

I can understand why you would be pissed off with the people ambush but I wouldn’t worry about your children, they are unlikely even if they catch it to be very ill.

Well it's a blatant fuck you to everyone from your DHs parents. They've basically hosted a house party and there's a £500 fine on those for a reason.

I'd be peeved. It's horribly selfish of them.

I can understand the annoyance but your children will likely be fine if they catch covid. Myself and dh have just recovered from it and both our children had very very mild symptoms for only 2 days.

It's good to know they will be OK if they catch it. It is just so annoying. We can't go out. 3 mile restriction here. So bored and frustrated and they all go to mil on the one day when she has been alone for well over a month like nothing is wrong with it.

What a wonderful world in must be to be oblivious to the fact that several households mixing isn’t a great idea at the moment. How nice just to be able to say ‘fuck it, we’re here now’ and have a little party with your family, including a nurse who works with Covid patients. It’s just so alien to how me, my family and everyone I know is living at the moment that it’s hard to imagine.

OP, I’d be raging. Not so much that he’s potentially let Covid into your household, although that’s obviously not ideal. But more the fact that by doing what he did he has made your family part of the problem. That would be what would bother me. Although I almost wish I could be oblivious to it, as it would be so much easier. Hope you’re ok, you have every right to be really cross
