YSD and masks

Cover1W's picture

She's now refusing to take her mask off in our home, when it's just the three of us.
DH apparently talked with her last night about it, told me he'll tell me details later but basically:
Treat it like her shaving her head or dying her hair back, this is a rebellion thing and "she's out there, like she's nuts. Just ignore her."
Hookay then. I always said she was going to take this thing to the extreme....also overheard her tell DH that she could NOT get together with her friends, even distanced.

Glad I'm already disengaged.

But not your problem.  Time to start popping some popcorn.  Add butter. And enjoy the show.   You kinda know the ending but you don't know how it gets there. .

No, she's 15 so just under.  I cannot WAIT until she can.

I suspect however, that even when she does she'll still be overly cautious because she keeps talking about how it's not 100% effective.

While its good she is being cautious about this, it's a bit over the top, given even the CDC can't decide if it's one mask, two mask, red mask blue mask.

She's hearing about the WORST of it (not reading, not doing any independent watching of science on the news or anything) and only adhering to that.

The frustrating thing is I work in a place that is highly involved in COVID research and I hear at least weekly the updates from scientists and DH and I do our activities accordingly and actively discuss it usually at dinner. YSD believes NONE of this. It's, of course, only HER opinion that counts - bascially like anything else...her 'allergies' or her 'learning' or her 'activities.' If SHE doesn't believe it it's not correct.

Yes, it's exhausting. No, I don't even care any more.
