Covid has meant that I have been less involved in my grandchildren’s lives and they are now so grown up! I have had regular doorstep visits, but it is not the same. The youngest is now 14, his sister nearly 17. Their mum often discusses what new freedoms to allow them. She is lucky that they are much less rebellious than she was!
Their parents are divorced and remarried, and they have a little half brother at their father’s house. When they arrived at their Dad’s after school on Monday, they were told he has Covid. They kept apart. After some discussion, it was decided they would go back to their mum’s. The only thing is, she and her husband were away overnight, but they agreed. They went, looked after themselves and the cats…
.My daughter did not tell me till afterwards. I guess in normal times she might have asked me to help out. I was astonished at the decision, but proud that they could cope and be trusted to do so.
I think it was a good decision. What do you think?
