[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am surprised that there are so many parents here saying that they do not allow their preteens or teens hang out with friends inside. My younger one has some friends that only hang out outdoors, but plenty that are fine with hanging outside with no masks or just being inside. My older one has a large group of friends who regularly see each other,  have dinner and sleepovers. All parents are on the same page. We are in the Bethesda area.[/quote]

How is that surprising? What’s surprising is that you’re teaching your children to care about themselves over others. Do you think my kids aren’t bored? Wish they could be inside with friends? We’ve taught them that the lives of healthcare workers and vulnerable populations matter more than their desire to “hang out.”  Those of us who are doing this right and choosing the hard road will never forget your selfishness.

Different poster. My kids and their friends get tested regularly at school and none have had covid. My husband and I are social distancing but our kids see their friends and have been for about 6 months. Last March and over the Sunmer it was less but now they are seeing the same group. None of them have gotten covid. They would become depressed and isolated if they were home for a year which is what it has been almost. That has consequences too. They are careful when our in public and wear masks and don’t eat inside. Same group of 5-6 kids who are tested regularly seems to be working. No one in their families  or in ours have gotten sick. We have had some worries and are strict about masks if they are here. You can be a good thoughtful human and still be reasonable. To keep kicks locked up for a year is not healthy for them. At least allow your kids to see friends outside with masks or create a safe pod. [/quote]
