I live in Wales and was looking forward to seeing my son daughter inlaw and two grandchildren on monday one age almost three and the baby 10 months after our two week lockdown and before that a local lockdown so it has been six weeks,we only get garden visits to my sons are he has been shielding since march mainly as oldest grandson was very ill last november,they don't go out shopping delivered etc son works from home,totally respect that with help in the past from granset guiding me so i am back again.

Last night i mentioned to my son i would bring my parenst up monday and visit with my husband saturday to the garden just an hour or so to be sent the new welsh guidelines that state no garden visit,max of 4 meeting and as i visit with my parents they are classed as my bubble,i feel totally shocked i hadn't read the rules and just though would be as before even hoping for an indoor meet at xmas,i feel what is the point anymore,my son is very careful and says they have gone without so much since march they have no intention of breaking any rules,i support his views and am proud of him and his family,just feel so down,know everyone is the same,just had enough and need to think straight again,okay i am disappointed i am a big girl but i so want to see my grandchildren.Am told it will be on the common by them if there are no people about,then it is watching the weather feeding time for baby etc so it is worst than before.Nothing i can do their choice but how do i get over my selfish need when i see so many people who are with their families as normal.help

Keep away from those neighbours.
Stay safe and keep your family safe.

joanna12, you are not alone!

Many of us haven't seen our grandchildren (except on Zoom) since February. Still, we are content, knowing that our children are sensible and taking every possible precaution to protect everybody. It won't be for ever - so hang on in there!
