How soon are you all going to have play dates again for your kids? Friend just invited us to a play date but there’s like 5 other families invited as well. Seems too early but wondering if I’m being too over protective?

Easy call for us in Texas. Hard no. In 2-3 weeks, we’ll have good data. 2 potential outcomes:
- People are getting sick (and worse) at a much higher rate (we’re already running 1,000 new cases/day). Our decision will be validated.
- People are not getting sick at a much higher rate. Our decision will look silly and we will have wasted 2 weeks.

I’ll take the downside case that looks like being bored for 2 weeks over the downside case that looks like my loved being seriously ill.

We let our kids play with the neighbor’s kids but only them. We started a couple weeks ago after both families had been isolated for a month or so. We primarily only allow them to play outside as well.

I’d be okay with a play date at this point but not with 5 other families. That’s just too many people for me to be comfortable at this point.

Location is pertinent.

Hard no from me regardless though. My wife and kid haven’t left the house in over a month ... and the first thing they’d be doing isn’t the opposite of social distancing with several other families.

No way. Too risky and not worth it until we know more.
I like the idea of finding a similarly isolated family to co-isolate with so our kid can get some peer social interaction. As long as you are exclusive, right?

We've whitelisted two neighbor friends to play with. Everyone else is no go.

How do you handle people’s kids showing up on video meetings? Screaming, kicking, hamming it up, (wasting time.) Everyone else is coo-ing…I’m not a kids person. Heard a technique which is to drop off the call bc you “assume the call is over” (which seems like a great way to get fired especially if it’s a way higher up’s kids - plus it feels rather passive aggressive.) Thoughts?

Getting over heartbreak and having a full time job is torture lol. My boyfriend and I just broke up after almost a year of being together. It was such a beautiful relationship but ultimately he just didn’t love me. I love him so much. My mind knows that I deserve reciprocal love and I’m worthy, but I feel physically ill. My body hurts, my stomach is in knots, my head hurts. How is it that I have to mend a broken heart but also meet my billable hours lmao

Okay finance gurus, I have an idea and interested in your thoughts. Might be a bad one so be gentle 🙂. I have a 2 yr old and another on the way. Need to start planning for college. I was thinking of buying a condo or 2 in lieu of saving and selling them down the line for tuition. Condos downtown are pretty inexpensive (T3) so it’s financially feasible. But is this a good idea or too risky?

Don’t want to fight the entire house full of people about this and kid enjoys it too much and cries a lot if I/we prevent him from climbing
