Son coming back from uni today

Normally I’m so happy - he’s my best mate in the world. For the first time ever I’m genuinely scared to see him and all his stuff.

Terrible to admit, but seems very unlikely he dodged it down there surrounded by teens / twenties who probably haven’t been very careful.

I’m imagining germs / viruses coming home with him. Going to be very mixed feelings and I’m embarrassed / ashamed to admit it.

Don't be ashamed of how you feel, it's very worrying for everyone.

My uni daughter has been home for a few weeks as her lectures had finished but she zipped back to her flat yesterday to collect her stuff and since back home she's been keeping away from me, she's really worried in case she's bought any germs home !

My other daughter who is working comes back home a couple of times a week, with the job she does it's highly likely she will come into contact with it but I can't tell her not to come home, I did suggest a tent in the garden 😆

Take care and hope all goes well.

Thank you - thought someone out there must be in same boat. My partner is pregnant too - so both of us in the ‘risk’ zone. Can’t choose one persons health over another’s home....want to do right thing by everyone. Fortunately my partner is a rock and understands.

I’m the same with my daughter, but I’m also very considerate of her feelings so I’ve asked her how she would like the shed re-decorated 😀

Might be just enough wi fi down there to drive her mad.
