dude she went to basically a fucking party last night

her and her friends are sticking to the line of "as long as you go to gatherings of 10 or fewer people it's completely ok"(disregarding 6" of distance of course because if you're in a car with someone else you're not 6" apart and if you're sitting on a couch at someone else's random house you're not 6" apart and if you're making out with your boyfriend at the house he lives in with his mom YOU'RE NOT SIX FEET APART) and "your social circle can be as large as you want so long as you stick to the 10 or under rule for single gatherings" and she's going to freaking DRUG DEALERS houses of all places (yes i know, very famous for their cleanliness too right?) and "hanging out" and getting drunk and oh OF COURSE leaving the house to stay with her boyfriend every other night is a LIFE ESSENTIAL SERVICE

I told her off about it, so she declared she was going to go back to social distancing. She made it until the evening, when she decided she wanted chick fila but didn’t want to go alone. I tell ya what, I never knew it could take 6 hours to get a chicken sandwich

I don’t want to be a parent, I’ve made my feelings clear and continue to do so, but also she is an adult. She ignored a job offer because she is making so much on unemployment. This really is who my sister is right now and I’m seeing it.

Man, I have really grown the hell up in the past 3 years. Now I’m the responsible one

Anyway, thanks for the space to vent. I needed to let it out somewhere and this isn’t exactly the kind of discussion I have with coworkers.

I've got a 19 year old son who is.... pushing limits, and social distancing is one. So thanks for venting - it's helping me sort through some of my thoughts and feelings.
