I see the wisdom in your choice not to get your child given he may have COVID.
Most single parents--moms or dads--if they've been vax'd are capable of caring for a child while sick--especially with the invention of Doordash for grocery and meal delivery. If you're unsure about his ability, consider a daily check-in with him and your son.
Thank you, Traveler. Yes, I will probably opt for the daily check in and see how they go. Before I went away I have already stocked the fridge and bought supplies so hopefully they will be fine for food etc.

And now especially as my son has tested negative, I will consider taking him away. It will still be a risk being there before the 7th day though, so I might see how things are with them in few days time.

This is so true. I am a little tempted to think that karma has something to do with it. Now he not only has to experience being ill and not having anyone to take care of him, he also has to take care of a toddler as well for a whole week. It is a little like what he put me through in our separation, particularly the first month after the second time he split with me and cut off contact. I was basically physically weakened because of the pregnancy and struggling with morning sickness AND I had to take care of my son all the time. Now he gets a taste of what he made me go through.
