MegaSack DRAW - This year's winner is user - rgwb
We will be in touch
Slight vent.
My 14 year old daughter travels to school on a bus with 50 other kids
She hangs out in school with 800 other kids
She sits in a classroom with 25 other kids
She can't have 5 of them over to our house for a birthday BBQ
young people aged 12 to 17 can only meet up to 8 people from up to 2 other households indoors at a time
you can meet and take part in outdoor recreation with people from up to 4 other households at a time.
Unfortunately we forgot about this when she asked us this morning (6.30am, blurry eyed and not thinking properly), she has now invited everyone and we have had to play bad cop and stop it. Bad parenting. I feel terrible.
Who's counting?
Invoke the Dominic Cummings Clause - sorted.
The rules say that she can't.
If the kids are sensible and you trust them and their families to have been sensible about social distancing etc, so unlikely to be high risk virus carriers, I'd be tempted to take the "risk" (assuming you are not in a stricter lockdown area already)
I'm assuming you are in Scotland.
Just because education is currently operating that way doesn't make it safe or alright....I think very swiftly Nicola is going to have to clean up this discrepancy, problem is it'll take too much money and effort to do safely and will still inconvenience families.
Education is more important than a party and so is worth a little risk.

My wife and I both work in jobs where we are expected to set the standard on COVID related restrictions, we cannot be seen to flagrantly break rules. Its boring being responsible.
Treat it like a five a side match with rolling subs.
One person always sitting out- and she stays within the rules at all times.

Sorry, I hadn't realised where you lived, and I appreciate your position re jobs.
She should have known not to ask. Need to toss a coin with the Mrs to work out who is going to tell the daughter the bad news.
Isn't it a case of kid-adult transmission being more likely than kid-kid?
If the kids come to your home they're in close contact with you, as adults.
I’m not worried about getting it, I had a heavy dose of covid back in March and I know I’m rammed full of antibodies.
There is no debate or question, rules is rules. Just frustrating
