I would MYOB. If you are posting on the teen forum your child is old enough to form their own opinions of Lara’s family.

DH and I were one extreme and almost the hide in basement type. The best thing that happened is that we were both forced to go back to work in person outside the home. We saw you can leave the house and do a lot of things safely. It took a while for our anxiety to subside but it did. We still out not socializing indoors with friends or allowing our kids to go to sleepovers but I’m okay with them having one or two friends inside now. I don’t automatically assume all of us will be infected. They are not wrestling or sharing ice cream.

We would have to say anything. Our 11 year old called out his grandparents for all of the dumb stuff they are doing. They couldn’t understand why he didn’t want to see them, and he listed off all of the things they have been doing that aren’t safe.

My feeling this is a giant FU to "the left" and less about her kid. She posts rarely, she wanted to make a point. What is being accomplished? Her R friends all applauded the pictures, hearts everywhere. "A sense of normalcy" she writes. Normalcy until someone connected gets sick. Or dies, right?

She's a science teacher.

Because the SCIENCE says it's safe to have gatherings of 12 or less people. Yes, the left (YOU) are the weirdos you seeing wearing masks while driving alone in their cars.

What science says it’s OK. The government made that rule.

The mask ting is so true. You just know they're a raving liberal when you see them in their cars alone 😷

Everybody has a different risk tolerance. Other people think you are "covidiots" because you are not hiding in your basement.

We wear masks, but go everywhere that is open except large crowds. So when we eat indoors at restaurants, we are the first or the last people there. We have done this for 5 months now.

We also do doctors, haircuts, manicures, etc. But no graduation parties, weddings, funerals or other large gatherings inside or out where people mingle close together.

You are why we cannot return to school and why numbers are rising. You are teaching your kids to be selfish and not care about anyone else but yourself.

So by doing what she is legally allowed to do, PP is the reason we can’t return to school? Am I reading that right?

Yes, you are reading that correctly. This is the hypocrisy of these people who call others following protocols idiots. You can't reason or argue with stupid people like this. They don't deal in facts, only hysterical emotion.

This type of stuff goes beyond “different rules for different families”.

That's why fearful people like you should stay home. Life is going on. People are living their lives using rules put in place by the local governments, deal with it.

Maybe you all have great immune systems and have been spared because of that and your precautions.

It's called common sense.You should get some. It's free.

It's called statistics, and you should have studied it (probably, not for free). Statistically speaking, everyone's individual chance of contracting COVID is small -- and the more you 'not hiding in your basement', the higher your probability of getting infected. The fact that you hasn't been infected so far is just dumb luck.

Typical, spewing hate and wishing ill upon others because they hold an opposing view. You might want to brush up on your grammar instead of worrying about what others are doing within their rights.

No, it's not. It's called science and local governments are following that for the most part with the exception of schools.

Well since you are middle of the road, we can call you a moron too!

I have NEVER restrained myself in that regard, OP.
