[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The parents might be overly pushy, but do they understand your family situation? If you only allow a vaccinated 13-year-old (I'm assuming that she is vaccinated) to participate in outdoor activities because of risk factors of other family members, maybe it should be your role to contact the parents, say that you appreciate the situation, and explain why you said "no."  It's not your daughter's decision, it's yours. As others said, you should definitely encourage your daughter to be aware of the boundaries you have set and to explain them to her friends.

You are going to have to balance your DD's social needs with your family risks. If the answer is always going to be "no" to anything indoors, it is likely that the invitations will stop coming. What happens then? For some indoor activities, is there any way your DD could participate wearing a mask and not eating? I did that with my DD earlier in the pandemic. Another possibility would be for you to allow your DD to participate in small indoor activities with families you feel comfortable with wearing a mask, and then have her continue to mask in the home for 10 days or 5 days plus a negative COVID test.
