Are you letting your teen have a friend over to hang out for a bit?

Wow. Awkward if they break up. |

DO YOU REALLY NEED TO EVEN ASK THIS? OMG, YOU ARE THE KIND OF MORONIC PARENT I HOPE MY KIDS AND I DO NOT HAVE TO DEAL WITH. SO FAR ALL MY KIDS FRIENDS PARENTS AND I ARE ON THE SAME PAGE. NO ONE IN AND NO ONE OUT!!!! YOUR LITTLE DARLING WILL SURVIVE I PROMISE! |

I am so glad most parents are finally on the same page. I have been wanting my teen (returned from college) in the house with no friends for weeks. He would not comply and many parents were allowing kids to have friends over. I even reached out to one of the moms asking her if we could both not allow visitors and she thought I was a loony. I will bet she feels differently now..but she is also a big Trump supporter, so she was probably only reading his twitter.

Why? I'm hoping the answer is because she has a bad family situation or something along those lines. My OBGYN friend is already expecting a rush of deliveries 9 months from now. Hope congratulations aren't in order for the newest addition to your family next year. This is probably not the best time for a teen to get pregnant. Are abortions even an option right now? |

I think people are already tiring of the isolation. If you have isolated for close to two weeks and no one around you has gotten sick it is easy to start being a little more lax.
Yesterday I took the kids to a soccer field to run around and there were 6 late teen age boys playing a basketball game. There was also a group of similarly aged girls sitting in a car in the parking lot - they would occasionally get out and sit on the curb then get back in the car. I also saw a group of six adult neighbors who had all been out walking their dogs and they met on a street corner and were all standing in very close proximity chatting. People are tired of being inside and some more desperate for interaction than others. I think since they haven't gotten sick and a couple weeks have passed, people feel like they can relax |

Wait. You contacted a college kid’s mom about not have friends over? Your kid is an adult. And you are off your rocker crazy. We are staying isolated. But in a million years I would never call an adult’s mommy to tattle. So odd. |

It's weird that pp contacted the other adult's mother...but if my adult kid wasn't following the house rules (to practice social distancing) they'd be out. Enjoy being homeless during a pandemic, kid! |

That’s funny how you think they were having less sex when they weren’t stuck with parents 24/7 |

| I don’t see anything wrong with two or three friends coming over. We live in an affluent area and the teens haven’t been to any areas where they could be exposed. |

Kind of like New Rochelle? |

| My next door neighbor has a steam of teen/20ish guys walking in and out. Their son is a student at Montgomery College. And the parents have underlying health conditions. I just want to clobber that kid over the head. He’s so self centered. |

Well that’s the dumbest thing I’ve read in awhile. This disease was brought here by people wealthy enough to travel internationally. Why do you think Montgomery County is the hardest hit in Maryland? |

NO

| We are hanging out with our next door neighbors only. 4th grader has gone on a couple bike rides with a friend. I’ve taken walks around the neighborhood and stood 6 ft away from neighbors and chatted. |

You are quadrupling your exposure to the virus with hanging out with just one other couple. It’s not smart, PP, nor is letting your child bike with another child. |
