Good update on my "quaranteam" post

[ktgrok]

So, I can't find the thread...but I talked honestly with my friend. She and her family stay home other than her going to the store, masked, when needed. No playdates (I believe this, we are really the only family she has her kids play with, lol), no church (they are no religious), etc. She was upfront and said they ahve seen her mom and her in laws. Her mom is only going to the store, masked, and freaked out about the virus and not seeing anyone else. Her in laws are less careful, and she is ready to cut contact for the duration. Then, get this, she said, "I'd rather see you and your family than even my mom, so I can just agree to not see anyone if you want". Y'all, I almost cried!

I also said that we would just be honest, and if we did see other people (lol) stay avoid get togethers for 10 days or 2 weeks or whatever. 

And I told her I want to see positivity rates go down first, I'm not ready yet, and besides, one of my kids has a fever and GI symptoms (from where?), so we need to isolate anyway. 

But when we are ready, I'll give her a heads up, and we will do outdoor stuff together to start, etc. 

I should add, this is the ONE friend I trust as far as illness goes. We both ALWAYS gave a heads up on the morning of a playdate if any of our kids had so much as a slightly runny nose, whatever. And we pretty much always cancelled in those cases, with no drama. And if someone popped up with symptoms after a play date, we called to give a heads up on possible exposure. So I do trust she gets it. She was also a dental assistant and does get disease transmission basics, etc. And her husband has not super well controlled diabetes so they are being very careful because of him. And really, she doesn't have a ton of friends, no church, not in a homeschool group, doesn't even like her inlaws anyway, etc. So I do believe she is staying home and not seeing people. And our kids get along SO well. 

So not yet, but soon we will have buddies!

Now, someone tell me I'm not a terrible person for wanting to get together when them, but not offereing to watch my sister's kids. (sister will have high exposure)

That is wonderful news!  So happy for you!

 

And, nope, you are not a terrible person for not getting together with more high exposure families, even family members.  Sounds smart.

Sounds good!
