To all those lovely people who helped me three days ago... my son is moving out! On advice from you, all my family and friends made him wise up and accept that the risk is just too great and he can’t stay living with me and his Dad.
I’m so grateful to all you amazing people!
Thank you!!! X
So pleased it’s been resolved, will pray for him as he moves away from you. He knows you still love him, take care of yourselves. Enjoy the sunshine x
Glad to hear it's all sorted! Unfortunately many young people are still not getting it. I had to visit the pharmacist yesterday afternoon and was surprised by the groups of closed packed youngsters roaming around as the schools broke up. Maybe the last lesson should have been Coronavirus - the risks. Photos from some pubs yesterday evening were equally scary!
Glad to hear it's been sorted!
Youngsters do NOT get it. I’ve a son back from uni today and a 17 year old daughter. I’ve not been able to get her to wash hands properly since it started - eye rolls. ‘Why are you always having a go at me.’ Today explaining to son (who I was sure understood) that I would drop a Mother’s Day card for my mum tomorrow (recovering from radiotherapy and a slice from her lung). ‘Why don’t you go in - you haven’t got it?’ I could have cried in exasperation. They are both expecting to see their own mum tomorrow as well for lunch - I’m going to look like worst dad if I suggest it’s not a great idea to bounce between houses. Hate being in this scenario....no way out.
Ohh you are NOT alone!!
Sounds like you are relieved and so you should be. The fact is that loads of people just don't realise that this is reality for the foreseeable future. Your close family/friends/etc who are not heeding the warnings should either shape up or ship out. There really are no other alternatives. I just said, " NO I wouldn't survive if I caught it", when my daughter said she was coming down with my granddaughter. My son on the other hand has done and is doing everything he can for me. I've never felt so cared for in my life (he's had to self isolate with me as I came down with a temperature). Please make yourself heard, this is your life too.
We've had to ask our 19yr old grandson, who lives with us to move out. I hate it but he's gone to live with his aunt locally and is happy there
I so identify. I live with my 25 year old son and he clearly thinks that I'm being paranoid about becoming infected. Suggestions that he wash his hands yesterday after accepting a pizza from a rather sweaty delivery guy went unheeded. 'Dad, he's only sweating because he cycled here'. Maybe. I've told him that I've added a clause to my will saying that if I die of coronavirus he gets nothing. Hopefully that will liven him up a little.
That might make him listen! Mines now busy packing and whilst I feel guilty for making him leave he absolutely has to go! His behaviour stresses me out so much and I’m supposed to avoid stress! I’m also slightly saddened that I managed to raise such a selfish individual! His brother and sister are not like him at all! X
Well I wouldn't leave it too long...pls b safe
Wondering if it’s only the youngsters that are resisting - my spouse is driving me loopy!
I’m probably vulnerable, not extremely vulnerable, but prefer to act on a “no regrets” basis. He thinks the best way is if many people get it (including himself), become immune and can no longer carry it. Get that, but...
I watched him rinse his fingers under running water for 3-4 secs (!) and had to have a row to even suggest different. And when he took an old tissue from his pocket, blew his nose & put it back in his pocket, we rowed again because I “so pointedly” stepped back.
I’d guess that if he gets CV19, those near him will, too !! I don’t want to inflict that on others by moving him out, So I’m now social distancing from him. He’s in spare room, I’m largely staying in 2 rooms & kitchen. Happy days?!
