It isn't entitled or irritating. Your response was appropriate but yes, I would also be asking you because I am high risk as are nearly everyone I work with or live with.

If you are inviting multiple households over, I expect you would have prescreened them to determine how much of a risk they pose to your household (and mine, if we attend).

If they were distanced when watching outside, sure. We can maybe accommodate each other and include that (I'd show up to supervise, depending on age) but your post feels snippy, as if their question is an unfair intrusion into personal habits and imposition on you as the host.

I think you are being a poor host and should expect these questions when you invite people over in a pandemic. You ARE obligated to answer very fair questions regarding safety.[/quote]

Not OP, and not to intending to be rude, but if you and your family are high risk, it likely makes more sense to avoid social gatherings with invitees you don't know for the time being.  Maybe it makes a difference in terms of the ages of one's kids, but mine are tweens and teens.  I definitely don't "prescreen" the households of the few of their friends we have invited over to our yard to kick a soccer ball or hit some baseballs.  We're comfortable with the level of risk associated with that activity.  It sounds like you have reasons not to be, and so the best thing is probably to stick to events where you know everyone personally and can ask them what they're doing.
