[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We do both - sometimes kids, sometimes parents but don't eb surprised if a parent says no right now.  We'd say no.[/quote]

Would you say no to anything outdoors?

I was kind of assuming that by insisting on outdoors, and masks, and on each parent driving their kid, I’d be on the covid conservative side.

Are there families with kids in school who wouldn’t allow that?[/quote]

Because the kids end up not social distancing.  A few of my child's friends don't respect boundaries or social distance so its way to close for comfort for an unvaccinated child and those kid are going to school, traveling, dining out and many other activities so the risk is to great for my child.[/quote]

I understand that.  I guess I was worried that if I'm literally calling parents I've never met and saying "my kid wants to have yours over, but we aren't having guests at the house due to covid, and we aren't sharing cars, so can you drive your kid to X outdoor activity?" parents who are less covid cautious would think "that's a pain" and say no.  It surprises me that there are parents who would get that invitation and think "I bet they aren't taking precautions".  [/quote]

If you called and said that, I’d feel bad for your kid, but I’d probably think you were a bit much to deal with.[/quote]

OP here,

and fair enough.  I expect that some people will react that way.  I'm pretty sure that my kid would be more harmed by losing a close family member than by your not sending your kid to minigolf.

I was just surprised that other parents who do in person school (so not zero risk families) would hear it and think "Yeah, not going anywhere with them, they're probably too relaxed about covid".  [/quote]
