Got invited to a desi friends kids birthday party today. I was told there will be social distancing and curbside event. When I got there it was a backyard event with minimal social distancing. What would you folks have done if you took your younger kids with you?

If you really care, instead of cribbing You would have stayed at home. It seems ppl want to go out and coming up with a reason yea we are socially distancing wearing a mask at the party. Next time right upfront reject the rsvp and lock yourself up 🙄

Yeah D1, agree 100%. I should have stayed home. My wife pushed us to visit the kid as he is a special kid and the parents called us to invite repeating it’s a curbside event.

I would find an excuse and leave as soon as possible

Are you in TX? Hope you left and didn’t expose your kids. The pandemic is your excuse

You did the right thing.

Is that fair? I just want to make sure I’m protected but I also understand that if he’s paying all this money, he wants some security as well
