[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We have decided to continue social isolation as much as possible.  It’s not hard for us since we have a great nanny (who lives alone and only sees us) and I have always worked from home.  Without DH’s commute and the gyms closed, he’s also home more.  We’re lucky, I know.  It seems over the past week, I get a daily call from a friend asking if DS is going to return to a class or for a play date.  The first couple times I told the truth and just said we were continuing with strict social distancing and have been met with nearly angry responses.  I must be wording it wrong.  Please tell me how to respond without eliciting defensive or angry mocking.

Same in normal times when the subject of TV comes up.  We don’t let DS watch anything including when his classes went remote (which is why it came up) and not for play dates when we were having them.

Thanks. [/quote]
