Right there with you. My husband’s ex is working in a risky job and going to the gym and the store whenever she wants. Meanwhile I have an underlying condition. It sucks.

Same here!
It's so frustrating when you're doing everything you possibly can to keep your family safe & then on the weekends it's as if we're back to square one.

Thankfully, my kid are teens so they can advocate for themselves, so if dads new gf gets too close like to give them a hug hello, they just remind her that they're happy to do an air hug... 6 feet apart.

I can't remember if I posted here early on in the shutdown but ex-DH lives 10min away (at most) and DS spends every other week/weekend with each of us (swap day is Monday - Monday morning before work/school starts now, in normal times its Monday after school).

ex-DH and his gf are very safe and WFH as do I and my fiancee. So far everything has been good, DH's family (which is pretty big) chose to skip Thanksgiving and will be doing the same for Christmas Eve/Christmas Day (which I'm happy about all things considered). DH's week is next week (Christmas week) so I go over there on the morning and DS opens his gifts from both of us and then I bring the stuff I got him back here for the most part (and when Christmas lands on my week, ex-DH does the same, he comes here etc. on Christmas morning). Fiancee goes to his ex-w to do the same thing with skids gifts.

As an aside, I know I speak for everyone the world over when I say I can't wait until this sh*t is over and behind us all. Keeping up hope that we're almost there now, 6-8mos is my guess. My office is saying maybe some hybrid in-person days back in the office this summer but I will be shocked if I see my office in 2021...

I mean that’s great and all but you are talking about a situation where everyone works from home and is being careful. You’re extremely fortunate and privileged to be in that position.

My husbands ex works in a high risk job, goes grocery shopping, goes to the gym, is dating god knows who, etc. We switch the kids back and forth days. We stay home and go nowhere, not even the store, but thanks to her exposures, we are exposed. It sucks.
