For those with children heading back to school, will that change your “bubble”? The bubble of people you can hug? I know so many grandparents are wondering if they should limit visits with their grandchildren once school goes back. The kids were in their bubble but will now be seeing so many more people, it changes the parameters. I was trying to find the FAQ I had read where the health ministers said it was ok to continue that but it doesn’t make sense.
We really only added my parents to our bubble, everyone else we see at a distance if at all. I hope we will still be able to see them, it is such a great break for both of us. The first few months of this when it was just my kiddo and I, well it was not easy! Don't get me wrong, I love my kid and spending time with him, but this was stressful on so many levels, I was still working from home, he was trying to figure out what he was allowed to do or not. As soon as we were allowed, he spent one night with my parents. It was just enough to keep us going. I think it will be different if he is able to be in school, we'll both be busy during that time of course (I still have to work) but we won't be all up in each other's faces all the time. I am not sure what the rules will be by Thanksgiving, but even if we can't all get together as a big family, we will do as we did at Easter and facetime. Christmas will be hard. Kiddo's birthday falls in there as well. Heck, even Remembrance Day, I normally go up to the school for the assembly, but I am sure that won't be held this year.
In the meantime, I hope he will spend another few sleepovers there before school starts, just in case we can't afterwards. After our hospital trip two weeks ago I was waiting until the two weeks were up. While I'm pretty sure we weren't exposed to anything there, it is the hospital so who knows what everyone was in for.
