[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am actually shocked at the number of no answers. I think people are either downplaying their activities, lying about what "seeing friends" means (i.e. it's not the same way they used to do it so the answer is no), or...I don't know. So many of my friends have kids who are actually going to school, whether in-person or hybrid, and while I don't think engaging in one risky activity justifies engaging in another, I just can't believe that there are so many whose kids aren't seeing others.

After reading these forums on and off for years, I suggest that parents on DCUM tend to be rule-abiding and less risk-taking than many people.  I believe all of the PPs "nos" but this is not a representative sample of parents in the DMV (or anywhere else).  We let our kids socialize outside without masks, and our kids do go into some of their friends' houses for small gatherings. We went to the beach with another family with kids so we all stayed together.  My kids bike to get ice cream with other kids.  My kids play travel soccer. My HS kids might be hooking up with other kids, I can't really know for sure that this is not happening!  I still feel that we are at a moderate risk level, although I am sure others will disagree.[/quote]
