Am I the only mother?

That won't allow their teenage daughter (nearly 15) to go and meet other friends in houses whilst this pandemic is on?

I'm sick to death of arguments on why this can't happen and that she could pick up this virus and bring it back into our house and also become really poorly herself.

It seems like her friends parents and most of them couldn't care less and just so ignorant towards it.

I've told her it's against the law, it could possibly make us all ill but she doesn't seem to believe me or just thinks I'm being over the top.

Am I being over the top? I'm beginning to question my own parenting. I know she wants to meet friends and I do feel sorry for her because it seems like we are the only ones keeping to the advise.

I'm absolutely sick of all this. What is everyone else doing? 😞

DD1 is 16, we're in tier 4 and she'll meet a single friend and go for a walk or bike ride but that's it. No going into their homes or gardens. Her close friends are all sticking to the rules too which I'm sure makes it easier than if she were the only one.
