[quote=Anonymous]There are always going to be families that make decisions you don't agree with (like, allow teen drinking in the home or parties while they are away), or do things that your family doesn't which might be hard for your kids to accept (like celebrate Christmas with presents Santa when you are atheist and don't). I know the pandemic is a more pressing concern but you get the idea - the concept is the same. At your kids' ages, OP, they are old enough to hear you out when you explain why you make the decisions that you did. Show them the news articles, show them the "flatten the curve" graphs, explain why you feel that the risks the neighbors are taking are too high for your comfort level. This is an opportunity for a calm discussion and frankly, an opportunity for them to learn to accept decisions their parents make even if they don't understand or agree. I know it's hard![/quote]
