To tell dd18 she can’t see friends tonight?

[Cauliflowercruton]

Dd is 18 (year 13) and is telling me she’s planning to go to a friend’s garden tonight with 5 other people. We’re in Tier 4 (London- very high rates in the local area) and I’m not happy about this plan at all. Firstly, I think it’s morally wrong and that we should all be complying to try and reduce the rates and secondly I don’t want to risk mine and DH’s health so she can go and get drunk in a friend’s garden. Am I right to tell her that if she chooses to go tonight the doors are bolted for 10 days?

my DD managed to survive the night - it seems like the biggest majority of her friends were at home, as there were massive tailbacks on the face timing, but they managed to sort it all out in the end.
My daughter is in the shielding group, so has had far more 'lockdown' than most other kids her age, plus her main group of friends had left for uni this year, so she was desperate to see them when they came home.
So if she managed to stay in anyone could. And she managed it graciously,

I know it's over now obviously and well done to your dd but just wanted to share this. Yesterday a family member of mine tested positive along with her entire family. Caught from someone's Chistmas party last week. Both household's mixed and 1 person had it but didn't know. So from that 1 person he infected his entire household and anyone else each of them have been in contact with. My family member then unknowingly carried on as normal, went to work etc etc. Didn't get symptoms until 4 days later when it was too late. Because of that 1 party about 30 plus people now either have or could have covid. It's shocking.

Really can't believe people think it's ok to tell 18 year olds what they can and cannot do

Its called being respectful to your parents. If they say no then the answer is no.

It seems kids control their parents more and more from the threads on this sites and the parents have no choice to accept it on here. Maybe its a certain mentality lost of me. Each to their own!
