Move in with us

[GoddessSue]

Can our Single parent duaghter and 2 children move in with us. One of us had a heart attack 12 years ago.They have been home alone a week and are well

Hi Sue. I think the correct answer is no because you could potentially be spreading the virus from one household to another. However, if they’re currently fine (and you won’t know that for sure) and you can all exercise social distancing and hygiene as a team effort you can minimise the increase in risk. But there will be an increase in risk to you all.

It would be better for all if you could stay separate but this may not be possible for various reasons .

I'm afraid you have to weigh up the risks as a family then make a decision

Good Luck whatever you decide .

We have our grandchildren staying with us for the time-being. Mum is unwell with a chest infection and possible covid19 on top and working from her home, dad is working from his home too. We had our concerns but they were kept off school and distanced from everyone but us the week before. It was hard making the decision and trying to balance everyone’s needs but it’s working for us.

Thanks for all your replies. She's staying home for now, she's got other issues but has found support through local friends , watsapp group they set up. They can say if they need something or can give something , I followed her to a big supermarket and waited in my car with the grandkids in their car so she could do a shop and not have to take them in, she went home and I did mine. She usualy gets a home delivery which would make her life easier, I can't help her like I used to now and she doesn't want to put us at risk. Though the supermarket trip was awful- people just going round as usual not all avoiding eachother . She probably is the safer bet ...
