Neighbour has Grandson with her on Easter Sunday .

This is not news to me its happening in my road many times . Everyone here apart from 1 young family is retired. The young family have stayed in or played on the front lawn but some of the others are having grandchildren running up and down or going into their houses .I'm sick to my stomach today at the selfishness of what seems to me to be NOT the minority but the majority. I dont know if this is reflective of the rest of the country but are people just not watching the news anymore. The death rate from the last few days is terrifying. All my immediate family are staying in and we facetime, whatsapp and telephone. Its upsetting but not impossible to do with today's technology. I go out alone once every 10 days to shop for us and my parents then its back home for me. It's just soooooo peoply out there for now. My friend rang to tell me that Our local shopping centre was rammed with cars this morning. She overlooks it. Go figure ?

Yesterday while sitting in the garden, I heard next doors Son, his wife and baby arrive and they stayed all afternoon sat in the garden.
I know for a fact my next door neighbour, walks across the road to his brother's house.
If this is happening in my close vicinity, it must be happening all over. Disgraceful...

Thank-you for all replies, and as Elegran says what's the betting that infection figures are up in a weeks time and the admission of older people admitted to hospital will also go up.

The neighbours other son goes in and out of her house as well
this is all with her consent. When I told my daughter she said
"I bet one of them will catch this virus and then they will be wondering why"

tickingbird, depending on the age of the little one, could you send small gifts and notes and cards?

( the neighbours) not people facetiming obviously!

I'm sorry but that is appalling behaviour.

I’d love to see my gc, especially the three that lost their mum. The little one can’t understand why he can’t come in or why I don’t go to their house anymore. We did have a facetime call this morning but he’s not himself. I’m more worried for him than upset for myself.

My husband did some shopping for his elderly mother yesterday and has “saved” it to deliver today to give her a wave through the window. I would NOT want to put my family (or me and my husband) at risk for the sake of a cuddle now. They are too important to me.

People can be idiots. A family visited further up my street yesterday with a new born baby!

Yes, I’m afraid that will be so.

Of course you feel envious, but real love for your family is doing what’s best for them, not what you want.

Comfort yourself with the love your family show for you and you for them?

Some people don’t honk this lockdown applies to them and that is why it’ll go on longer. Infuriating but nothing anyone can do about it expect doing the right thing is the right thing for us!if you know what I’m meaning!

What is the betting that infection figures are up in a week's time, and hospital admissions of older people a week or so later?

It’s not unreasonable to feel envious. I’m sure most of us are wishing we could hug our dgc. Your neighbour and her family are behaving appallingly - it’s a clear breach. Luckily most of us know how to be decent citizens.

From what you've said, they are very much in the wrong. Let the fact that you're in the right comfort you.

They are a menace to society.
