[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP sorry so many people, or one really bitter person, is bashing you. Under normal conditions, YES, of course it would be crazy to not allow someone out of the house to hang out with friends and then to return. But these aren't normal conditions.[/quote]

Thank you 
Yes it feels like one person just keeps repeating themselves [/quote

There are at least two of us - and likely many many more. It's not about bitterness -- it's about humanity, decency, fairness, things like that.  If the OP had even voiced the tiniest concern about this young woman's well-being -- unable to have direct contact with her friends and family because the OP's well-being matters more -- it would be easier to view this more charitably.  That people chime in viewing the young woman's needs as "selfish" vs "healthy" only serves to fan the flames.

There are plenty of other young people out there that are obeying the shelter in place orders and are not having direct contact with their friends and family.  I don't see why the nanny's situation is any different from them?  It sounds like there are a lot of people on here who are not obeying shelter in place/stay at home rules and don't understand how social distancing/self isolation work.  YOU, my friends, are the reason that the number of deaths continues to increase.[/quote]

Funny: To me it sounds like there are a number of people who are fortunate enough to be able to shelter in place with their families - who are just fine with the up idea that they should have total control over how a young woman - who is isolated from her friends and family - spends her time. Put that way, it reads like entitlement and abuse - albeit with genuinely unusual circumstances.

PP: Maybe some of these other young people that you speak of can chime in here. And maybe some of the people who are completely isolated I order to support their employer’s ability to interact with their own family members can chime in as well.  [/quote]
