I just have to go on accepting and believing that, lemsip, and I do but my other son would not practise this and he doesn't love me one iota less. Bewildering indeed......

I had the same with my son yesterday. He just wouldn't come in. Seems thoroughly alien to me but - can't believe I'm saying this - he seems to feel the need to be far more cautious than me. And I'm not careless but.... this takes a bit of getting used to.

Because it goes against our natural instinct, especially at this time of year. You did the right thing, most people are in the same position.

People really don't want to be invited in. They shouldn't be on your doorstep either - it's just not safe!

I imagine by ‘on the doorstep’ the OP means a fair distance away from herself whilst stood in the house.

Not a problem I would have thought.

I'm sure they understand you'd have invited them in under normal circumstances. It's hard though. It feels unnatural.

We are being extremely careful with regard to the virus. Common sense and the Government guidelines say no Household mixing which I agree with! Do why did I feel so mean keeping my nephew and his daughter on the doorstep today when they delivered a gift to us!! Mixed up or what!
