    Far from an expert on this, but it seems from a distance that the worst thing about having kids is other kid’s parents.

    my kids are younger so this might change but other parents aren’t the worst.

    learning that the wrong colored cup can ruin someone’s whole day and lead to a melt down while having to correct that behavior is harder than dealing with other kids parents

    I just remember hating when our kids would be around their Northern VA cousins when little and inevitably bring home some bug that would run through the whole house before things got to normal.

    So far I've had 2 kids that had to be quarantined because a kid in their class tested positive. In both cases they sat on the topposite side of the room and didn't interact with the kid. They stayed away from the team until after they tested negative, and if they did that and showed no symptoms, they came back.

    I dunno if this is how I should have handled it, but it's how I did it and so far it's worked.

    Yeah, I should further clarified to mean school age, like when you have to start playing sports, going to birthday parties, school events. I just hear stories people tell me about other parents and the decisions they make and I cringe.

    95% of parents are ok. They may be rough around the edges, but they are ok.

    But that 5%...................................oh that 5%.

    My kids are different on music.

    they want to hear wagon wheel every time we get in a vehicle.

    they love outlaw country and bluegrass.

    the 5 percent is only bad if you’re worried about hurting feelings.

    We have had a steady several week increase in positive cases, and deaths are creeping back toward the 1k per day mark, again.

    I'm getting my daughter converted, slowly. My boys love Steve Earle, George Thorogood and Ozzie Osborne

    I weigh it on how often and where it’s at.

    my house I’m telling you how I feel and if I have to deal with it often.

    My kids were like this when they were young, but eventually they branched out into mother things. My daughter would probably still tell you her three favorite artists are Dolly, Rhonda Vincent, and Alison Krauss, but both of our kids are more into television, movie, and video game scores than much else.

    and this time, behavior is not changing in response yet. we are going to get a higher spike than July, I think. Anyone who thought if was going away after november 3... Not freaking likely. We are still in the middle of this book.
