Son goes back to nursery Monday

Only positive to come out of covid is the amount of time I’ve got to spend time with him just us 2.

He was a proper mummy’s boy before all this now he’s all me .

Also made me realise I don’t have to go out every weekend getting pissed, family time is the best time especially how quick they grow up .

Hope everyone keeeping safe and well

 

I loved the early years with my 3, when they're learning so much so quickly and little things like walking on walls get them so excited.

 

Got pretty close to my son in the past 10 week aswell bit older though he’s just turned 41

 

Got to talk to my grandkids far more on the phone /videos link. ( Used to visit 2/3 times a week) 3/6 yrs. Of age. And the conversations we've struck up have been so heartwarming/Hilarious ( as kids are) we've grown closer still. ( If that's possible.) I,m now daft Grandad instead of just Grandad.
My son and daughter in law have been brilliant throughout all this palaver.
We keep in touch with the younger son and partner through what's app and phone/video calls probably a bit more. ( Although it was a lot to start with)
Yes, lots of positives.

 

lovely post BL - you sound a lovely Dad and your son's a lucky lad!

 

My grandkids are going back to school when the MPs go back to parliament according to my daughter.

 

Think this age will be really hard to socially distance. Early years is all about the interaction between kids/children and children/children. Really feel for them.... Occasionally, I teach nursery and as much as I enjoy it I couldn't do it full time

 

**** me he’s only just come back from National Service and Now this.

Tottenham will be furious.

 

Ha, that's amazing.

 

Thank you for the reply

I just try my best that’s all I can do .

 

I’d love the have choice but my wife works in intensive care at Sheffield hospital and I’ve been asked to come back to work.

Horrible choice to make but it’s either this or the mortgage doesn’t get paid

 

By far the best reply I’ve read on here hahaha

 

Daughter in Law is teaching and hasn't been off work she isn't sending her Son back to School./

 

My wife has fallen out with another parent over us sending one of ours back tomorrow. A facebook support group for parents of children with special educational needs and you still get toxic judgement.

 

I’d rather part 2 men in an argument than 2 women. ( vicious)

Interesting If a bit long.

 

I hope they are able to socially Isolate. I cooled down outside my local Nursery after my runs on Thursday and Friday when the children were playing out on the grass. I saw no evidence of social isolation at all. How they can do it in a small building when they can't on a large lawn is questionable. It was scary watching them. As I have said in a previous post my Daughter in Law is a Primary Teacher who has worked through the lockdown. Her school is getting the latest local infection rates and Barnsley is one of the worse and still very high. She has a child in a Secondary Academy and she says she is not sending him back as It isn't safe. We have a special needs Grandson who caught the virus and It's not something I'd want anyone to get. A friend of mines Daughter was in a Hong Kong Hospital for 5 weeks with Covid 19, Salivary Gland Infection and Mumps. Hong Kong have 7400000 people and have had 4 deaths. Barnsley has around 240000 people and had 269 to the end of April. I wonder how Hong Kong got it right and the UK didn't? The elderly are most at risk but this virus is killing healthy Adults and Children too.

 

Hope it went well for him and wasn't as bad as people made out kids going back to nursery and school was going to be.

 

You cant make nursery aged children socially distance so by sending them to nursery you have to accept she/he will be mixing with other kids, as they were before lockdown. Likewise you cant stop them picking their nose, licking things and putting their hands in their mouths.

 

I think they are going to have them in social bubbles at the primary school where my wife works. There will be no distancing between the kids and teachers but they will be in much smaller groups who won't socialise with other groups; they will learn, play and lunch together. I bet the teachers will be delighted.
