[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think we made it until June before we stopped restricting our kids movements. I don't know a single person who doesn't let their teens socialize inside homes. Not one. One of my teens also works at wegmans and worked unmasked until it became mandatory (which I think was June??). Considering he interacts with mobs and mobs of people daily and really ramped up his hours March-June when people were frantically buying rice and potatoes for the apocalypse it  would be pretty silly to not allow our kids to see their friends.

People like you are the reason why we’re in this mess.[/quote]

Yawn. This again?[/quote]

Yep.  I have 18 year old twins, HS seniors.  I tell them to wear a mask when they are out at all times.  They had small groups of friends over during the summer, mostly outside.  My DS has a friend who comes over to play video games.  He drives and goes on dates and friends have "kick backs".  But, when he's out, I don't know that he is being careful at all times.  My DD plays travel club sports and is on the road quite a bit with her team.  At some of the tournaments, some teams wear masks during game play like hers, but others don't.  No spectators but still a risk. They will be away at college in less than a year.  I will continue to encourage masks and social distancing when out but in the end you cannot control young people.

You must have missed the earlier part of this thread where posters were recommending a woman call the mother of children’s friends to tell on them. 🙄 Parents of 11 year olds love to give advice to actual parents of young adults. I agree with you.  Encourage masking but you don’t control their behavior at 18, and if you’re still trying, you are communicating that you don’t trust them to do right based on the nearly two decades of parenting you put in![/quote]
