Allow two households to still meet up regardless of size.

What the petition asks
It makes no sense that 6 people, from 6 different households, with potentially 6 sets of germs can meet up together, but two families, with only two potential sets of germs can no longer meet up under the new guidelines, if they have multiple children, taking them over the limit of 6.
Children are missing out on seeing their grandparents, and we are being penalised for marriages staying together and choosing to have children, so we can’t form a support bubble.
It is surely safer for the same two households, regardless of size, to meet regularly and have an agreement, than for 6 people to mix and match meeting up, changing who they see and socialise with from day to day?
