Yesterday he mulled aloud that maybe when the weather is warmer he will invite the skids over for a picnic in the back yard, grill out, stay the appropriate distance.

Um, no. I stomped on that. I commented that he just told off his parents for the same thing AND what if they need to go inside, like to use the bathroom? I get that he wants to see them so I suggested that he do social-distancing fishing with them. He asked if he should meet them there. ?? (really?) Yes was my answer.

He seemed satisfied with that but I'm guessing it's just a few days before he starts suggesting a cycle like we put in place for DS. And I'm not having it. MY boundary is set. Up until lately I haven't had to state mine because it was the same as DHs. But I will, and I will state the parameters and consequences. If he never thought I was serious before he will know so after this; I do not threaten, I promise.
