I am due to have my children next weekend. Due to COVID, the children's mother has put restrictions on the access, which is via a court order.
Myself and the children must all wear masks if we are within 2m of each other
All food has to be cooked from a kitchen cleaned to Health & Hygiene standards
My partner and son must obtain a COVID test before they liaise with my children.
What on earth do I say to that? I think it is totally over the top, especially the kitchen cleaning.
I am sure others are having similar issues.
Is she abiding by the same rules? 😮
Is she offering to pay for the tests? If so accept and do those, although I'm not sure I'd unnecessarily put your son through these, is her house hold doing them too?
If she's not asking for proof of results, just your verbal say just tell her you will do them.
As for the rest just agree and once in your home do it your way. Which I'm pretty sure like everyone else is clean, sensible and just as good as her household!
We get alot of dictating, do it my way etc etc and we just agree to keep the peace, then do it our way. They just like to remind you they are in control and it's their way or no way!
My partners ex told him to pick up his children and not touch them, stay 2m away etc, he agreed then they turned the corner, they hugged, they kissed and held daddy's hand to cross roads etc and carried on as any parent normally would with their child.
Crazy demands! We considered it damaging to keep distance from your child/parent when in your care.
My kids hugged me last time. When they got home their mum showered them and split their household into separate rooms until id had a virus test!
She would never confirm what her household is doing.
I havd tried to compromise but if i dont agree then im causing an argument..
your ex partner has serious issues. what she is asking is absolutely ridiculous. 2nd wave hasn't even happened yet. she is clearly being malicious
lol sounds stupid. just acknowledge and ignore her.
