Yeah. I do know that. And my kids need to see their dad. What I was hoping to do was make two safe isolated spaces so that they could go back and forth. But that means you have to trust that the other household is going to remain isolated as well.

This is the tricky part. Yes, we have a custody agreement. AND because everything is shut down and slowed down, nothing is final. Not only is it tricky to navigate the ins and outs of social distancing and parenting together from different households, there's that worry in the back of my head about being accused of keeping them from him.

So now it's easy to decide.

ETA: Una, I think you are absolutely right. It's a valid choice, as is seeing his kids during this. Just not BOTH.
