Doing this to a child is wrong

[fuckxmas]

BBC report : His said his 14-year-old daughter had not left her bedroom for four days, with meals being left outside her door, until the family learned the result was void on Thursday

This is so wrong to do to a child

but I have told my teens that if they have to self isolate they will be in their rooms and use of the bathroom - that's it, for the full 10/14 days. Are they concerned? Not at all!.

But what if they were?

They are intelligent and thoughtful enough to know that it wasn't an option. There are 4 of us in the house and if any one of us were being tested or had tested positive then we would isolate in our own rooms to avoid passing it on to the other occupants.

It's not rocket science.

They are intelligent and thoughtful enough to know that it wasn't an option.

But what if they weren’t? You are saying you would make them?

Why are people still arguing with flaviaritt? She will continue on forever without backing down. You're all wasting your breath.

Please see her post about masks or this post www.mumsnet.com/Talk/am_i_being_unreasonable/4085633-To-not-invite-my-DDs-friends?pg=1 where it feels like every third post is from her.

I’m not going to change my mind, no. And I will carry on replying to those who reply to me.

Yes of course.

And the reason for that is that people are replying. You will see that I am only posting in direct response to people saying (like in your case) what they think to me. Why should you have the right to speak to me without my having a right of reply? Wouldn’t that be a little... asymmetrical?

You are being so ridiculous. People are trying to explain to you (YET AGAIN) that you are misunderstood things.

Tbh I am surprised they are still trying.
Maybe you want to read properly next time before you go on full blown "OMg WoN't SomeBodY ThiNk Of ChiLdrEn" making up millions of scenarios which are not even remotely applicable. Like last time.

And with that I am stopping engaging.

I agree, complete waste of time. A potentially interesting thread gets turned into a load of 'but what if' crap. Not only that but personal insults are now being levelled at posters who don't agree with her increasingly specious arguments .

@slashlover you should see the one about children in masks in France

& actually, I couldn't compel any of mine to stay in their rooms. Ds is 6'2 & built like a brick shithouse for a start, & even his younger sisters would be able to barge me out of the way if sufficiently determined.

But I would tell them that I expected them to stay put, & generally speaking when I REALLY BLOODY MEAN IT, they are relatively compliant. So yeah, I'd 'imprison' them to the limited extent of my power to do so.

& all 3 think this is entirely sensible. No one wants us to all come down with it, if it can at all be avoided.

Memories of the Great Norovirus Family Pass The Lurgy Christmas of 2012 are not remembered fondly in this house!

Ok, flavia, you want to hear what I Did. This is how a normal conversation would go in my family.

Ds : Mum, I'm not feeling well. I've got a sore throat and a bad head ache and feel shivery.

Me: Oh dear, you'd better take your temperature and then I'll bring you some breakfast.

At least you’re honest about it.

I did, IIRC over 10% of the posts on that thread were from her. I'm not sure if she's deliberately trying to wind people up or what.

Also here www.mumsnet.com/Talk/am_i_being_unreasonable/4091412-To-take-DD-home-from-playground-because-she-wouldnt-do-her-coat-up?pg=1

449 posts, 46 of them from her. Seems so have a lot of time on her hands with a 3 year old.

That was long. My questions were short.

That's probably because she's got the only 100% compliant small child in the world.

Then don’t waste your time. Easy!

Yes, despite all the virtue signalling from this poster about her own parenting, it’s bizarre that she seems to spend all day long having silly arguments on mumsnet rather than focusing on her child.

This one goes in the same bag as Alphabet Street for me. It's quite obvious now.

Fair play though. It's more effort than most of them put in.

Well you did say you wanted the details.

So the short answer is that the same behaviour would apply to any household member (once into their teens): keeping to their room until the acute stage had passed.

For flu that might be a week. For chickenpox (which dd had a second time in her early teens) it was slightly longer.

This is the usual “troll” claim: the last defence of those without a sensible argument. None of this has been said with a view to winding anyone up. The fact that you all get wound up isn’t my issue.

flaviaritt

Maybe that several different people have got wound up with you in several different threads should give you pause for thought?

Not a troll claim. Just a thread that's been amusing, yet ultimately pointless.

If I was going to call you a troll I would. Unlike you I don't use passive aggressive sneers about people. If I have something to call them I say it outright.

I don't think you're a troll. I just think you are a very sad person who clearly has a desperate need to be right on the internet.

Good day.

corythatwas

Do you think you have the same right to imprison your husband/wife/partner, or is it just kids you confine to their rooms?

just think you are a very sad person who clearly has a desperate need to be right on the internet.

Probably won’t get that much argument on this one. This is sad. And I do enjoy being right. It’s a good thing I am.

You keep telling yourself that. You're right. everyone else, on every thread, is wrong.

I'd certainly blame the education for that.
