[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here. A few things are definitely on my mind. Saving money now versus spending it for care that’s nice to have but not need to have, extra trips for groceries as she tends to consume certain perishables at a higher burn rate, extra frustration as she continues to see her year waste away in confinement. And, to be honest, it’s hard with all of us here and unable to go anywhere. More people in the kitchen at all hours of the day. Less privacy when we’re all feeling like we need to get away.

I do think she will take the most liberal view of any and all social distancing recommendations and I’m not willing to gamble on my kids’ health, so that’s a really big factor as well. As soon as we’re no longer on lock down she’s planning her out of town trips and that’s just not something we’re thinking is reasonable given current trajectory of virus.  [/quote]

Make the best decision for your family.  Give the AP a chance to rematch locally.  Also consider what you will do for child care once you have to return to the office.  But, yes, you can expect a young adult to be chomping at the bit to go out and socialize or travel once the mandatory restrictions have been lifted.  I can see all of us having different personal standards for the risk we are willing to accept once stay at home is lifted and it's up to us.[/quote]
