Staying with friend and her 19 yo daughter, The daughter is a bit of a madame and friend always moans about her being diva like and spoilt etc.
Last night daughter came home and I told her I had got my 2nd covid jab earlier that day and felt a bit tired. Daughter says I was brain washed and it was all a hoax by the govt. Daughter said I was 'brainwashed' etc.

I calmly challenged her into why it would be a hoax and what would the govt gain? Anything she said I'd just point out why it didn't make sense until she seemed frustrated she was losing the argument and told me to 'stop going on about it' when it was her that got on to me about it.

Anyway today my friend, who was away for the night, WhatsApp me and tells me it is a anti vax house and for me to keep my views on covid to myself as I had upset her dd and that for me to stop forcing my views on people...

I said nothing but it was her daughter who forced her views on me and challenged me and I calmly responded and she obviously went and told my friend a completely different version. Should I say something to df?

Why would you be angry? Sigh, Roll your eyes then talk to your sane friends.

Balgoresboy · 17/08/2021 12:19

Angry as my friend rebuked me like a naughty child and listened to her dds version of the story which was bullshit.

I would as l can't bare liars and people who bullshit

MotionActivatedDog · 17/08/2021 12:21

But your friend is clearly wired to the moon so her opinion holds no value. So why would that bother you?

Foobydoo · 17/08/2021 12:25

Why were you staying with friend when she is away? Or is it a long term thing.
If you are staying long term I would just say ok.
If you were just visiting I would say something like sorry if I upset x but she brought the subject up not me.

''Why were you staying with friend when she is away? Or is it a long term thing. ''

I'm not surprised that you feel angry about being told off like a naughty kid.

But, if a friend of mine said that they were an "anti vaxx house" (as opposed to just being vaccine hesitant, anxious about the vaccines etc) then I'd be pulling back from the friendship anyway.

MadMadMadamMim · 17/08/2021 12:26

Are you still staying with them? That would be the end of my friendship with her. I'm not being told off by someone who is stupid enough to announce they are an anti Vax house.

My friends have a modicum of intelligence.

I would say your daughter was the one trying to force views upon me I simply pointed out when she was wrong perhaps you should teach your daughter to not try and challenge guests then get annoyed

DDiva · 17/08/2021 12:30

To be honest it sounds like you're taking alot of offence from your friends message. I'd just message back 'sorry of your dd thought it was too much I thought it was friendly debate, will keep off the subject in future'.

Howshouldibehave · 17/08/2021 12:32

I would stay that staying with friends for a few weeks is too long! Especially when you are clearly so very different.

I’d be toddling off home today.

idontknowwhyibother · 17/08/2021 12:33

I would make my excuses and be off home ASAP.

Theunamedcat · 17/08/2021 12:33

If this pandemic has taught me anything its that anti/pro can people cannot get along if they are going to discuss the vaccine you either don't discuss it and remain friends or you do and don't remain friends its like politics "do not discuss or else"

SameToo · 17/08/2021 12:36

I wouldn’t be friends with anti vaxxers so not a problem.

Henrytheehoover · 17/08/2021 12:40

Where do you think your friend's daughter learned her behaviour from?

The covid vaccine is becoming the new politics and religion for things not to discuss because it will just turn into an argument. Try talking about flat earth theories instead, perhaps?

You had better ignore the Madame anti vac girl and any other talk about COVID, it has created too many arguements, between too many people.
