Took my youngest out earlier for a kick about and his team-mate and his dad turned up as they use the pitch too (we kept our social distance and didn’t stay long after) and he had a bit of a meltdown in the car afterwards upset he had to stay away from his team-mate and couldn’t give him a hug. To make matters worse his big cousin was passing and come over too (again we kept our distance), he’s not seen him in ages and ran towards him, when he said keep back man... nearly broke my heart. He was over the moon to just see their faces though. He’s only six, we went to the pitch the other day but it was closed and there was a dad and son playing next to it and he wanted to join in, he was in tears when I said no he couldn’t he said life is so unfair, told him wait until he’s older and had a job and bills and taxes 
kills me seeing my kids having their normal daily lives effected like this and puts any whinging of mine about business or whatever into perspective 
I'm sorry man, that stuff really sucks. We moved to our neighborhood precisely because of all the kids who are my daughters' age, and now they have to wave at each other from opposite sides of the road. Thankfully our girls are almost the same age (13 months apart) and so are very close and entertain each other. We get them on Messenger/FaceTime with friends as much as possible.
