[quote=Anonymous]We have been practicing serious social distancing. No trip anywhere. Walks around the block but that is it. Husband goes shopping every other week with a mask (had it from wood working) and no one else goes out. Come home and clothes in the washer right away. Serious hand washing. Other than two prenatal appointments, I have not left the house in 47 days. Neither have the two girls (5 and 20 months). Mother in law lives with us and has Parkinson’s and other health concerns. We are being very cautious.

Yesterday husband took kids for a bike around the neighborhood. Ran into friends at their house. They ended up playing together (with another family who was also there). Kids did not stay socially distant. 20 month old touched a bunch of scooters and bikes from the other kids. Kids were huddled and playing fort and other close contact games.

I am pissed. I have been on lock down to protect everyone and be super cautious and he “helped me” get some work done by taking the girls and did it so irresponsibly. His arguments were that 1. It was hard to keep them apart and 2. Once they started playing what was he to do?

I feel like the thing to do was to say - let’s stay on our bikes and keep moving. Clearly the other family is more comfortable with contact in that they had 2 different groups of kids all together.

Anyway I am seeing red pissed - even 24 hours later - and am trying to figure out how reasonable or crazy I am being.

Thanks for weighing in.[/quote]
