In A Dilemma

[fruitsalad]

Our Grandaughter who is 8 and we have almost brought up from a baby, is at home with her Mum, during this time, her and my Son split a long time ago, shes stayed with us every weekend and lots of school holidays all her life, and treats our home like her 1st home and her Mums home like her 2nd the last few days she has been pleading with us to come and stay, (she doesnt have much of a life at her Mums its breaking my heart like a lot of others in this position I'm sure, we have tried to explain that we really shouldn't have her stay, and cant take her anywhere, (only for a walk but she just keeps saying she doesn't care, I just want to come and stay with you and Grandad, I was wondering if we were to take her temperature, and she stayed here until this is over or the schools go back, or would we taking a big risk.

I totally agree. Go and get her.

It sounds like a no-brainer to me. Dad doesn't want her, mum doesn't want her, she doesn't want to be with either of them, she wants to be with you, you want her to be with you. If it's officially acknowledged that it's OK for someone to move in with a friend/parent for a few days following a row etc with a partner then I can't see why she can't move in with you. The dangerous time is just after the move; a single-direction move must be safer than a temporary move to another home and back again.

[bednobs]

did you get her?

[fruitsalad]

Yes bednobs shes been here since yesterday evening.

Good for you fruitsalad, I’d have done exactly the same.

[AuntPollyGrey]

Fruitsald well done I have been thinking about this today and am glad you made the right decision and she is safe. Best Wishes.x

[fruitsalad]

Thank you yes I am glad I did.

[Vagus]

I bet she, and you, are delighted to be reunited. I send you my very best wishes.
I wish we could see our six month old grandson. He’ll probably be walking by the time we next see him and won’t recognise us :/

[Peter Pedant]

this is your decision of course ! [yeah I am being a bit durrr here]
school children are now NOT the source of silent infection,
they thought they were four weeks ago
The idea of kids being silent granny-killers is now - - dead

[This change of mind has caused chaos in the brains ( sozza braynz) of some ABers ( such as NJ) who cannot cope with the idea that if the data changes the model and prediction changes. Others have no difficulty)

and so I think it isa safe

My brudda is kissing his grandchildren thro a pane of glass because he doesnt ( think it is safe ) mwah mwah mwah
I hope you wipe it down wiv presidential bleach afterwards I admonished
