[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My DD has a friend whose parents truly believe that when she comes here they are outside only. In the rain. Snow. Cold. They are not. The girls are 17/18. We are fine with having her inside because she and her family are super Covid safe.

Just saying you may think your amazing child is following your rules and they might not be.  She goes and sits outside on our porch right before they pick her up. If the mother asked me I’d tell her the truth but I’m not goin out if my way to tell her. [/quote]

Wow. You suck.

And this is why we don’t let our kids socialize with their friends right now. You can’t trust others to follow the rules.[/quote]

Why do I suck? Seriously- I thought about telling her mom but they are 17 and 18 years old. I did tell my DD that she ought to tell her friend to be more true truthful with her mom. But... hasn’t it always been my house, my rules? That’s how it goes, right? I think it’s on this girl to tell her parents that she is choosing to come indoors at our place. Or maybe your “you suck” is because I let her? In that case, I get it, I guess. But we are also very careful and hopefully not exposing this girl to anything.  I don’t know. I feel like people are making decisions based on risk assessments and the threat (or very real presence) of mental health issues.  At this point it is what it is. [/quote]

NP here. You are a truly awful person.  You know that these parents have decided that YOU are too much of a covid risk, but you just don't care.   What it is is that you are selfish and inconsiderate.  [/quote]

So you expect me to change my risk assessments and choices for my family because another family might have different ones? I am careful.  Just not hyper vigilant when it comes to my kid having this one friend inside. I am not calling the mom of an 18 year old to tattle on her. And I’m not changing  my house rules because yours are different. [/quote]

No we expect you in a pandemic to be considerate and transparent. You don’t know what their familial risk factors are. You call her up and say : « Hi Jennifer. I know that you prefer for the girls to be outside when they are here. We aren’t going to be able to enforce that. Larla is still welcome here but I wanted you to know. »   It is called common decency. [/quote]
