I discovered my DD today met up with a friend for a long bike ride and they hugged each other goodbye as usual. The dog was growling so I went to the door when I realised they were together.
I am asthmatic and taking the advice to stay home seriously seriously - both my children know how serious things are in the world at the moment (and the particular danger I would be in if contracting the virus) and yet she chose to behave like this (and I think has been seeing friends on other 'bike rides') she has been taking in past days.
I cannot believe she is so irresponsible and when I challenged her on it, she refused to take any responsibility. I realise teens are egocentric with underdeveloped pre-frontal cortexes, but this utter lack of concern for anyone else has upset me deeply.
What advice do other parents have for me in trying to deal with this?
