Stay out of business that doesn’t concern you. Worry about your own kids. Worry about government infringement of individual freedoms to live your life as you please and raise your kids as you please. Don’t be the meddling neighbor.
FWIIW, MrsM and I have been home for almost 4 months. Is some Nancy calling Social Service on us??
If you ask for a welfare check and everything is OK, then no harm done. But if there is a problem, someone should know about. My parents kept us pretty isolated from everyone else, mostly to hide their emotional abuse and their own incompetence as parents. They did have some good qualities but they weren't good parents.
Totally understandable to keep the household 100% isolated, and from what you describe, the neighborhood is filled with people engaged in outdoor recreation. Maybe she (rightly) fears that people are not practicing appropriate social distancing, and that she cannot let the children play outside where there are so many people outside.
It has, however, been a lovely thing to see all the kids playing outdoors, and the families playing outdoors together.
Maybe the parent is giving them reprieve while the nosey neighbor is powdering her nose.
Hurry kids outside! Old Mrs kravitz just went to use her toilet.
I can't imagine being so hypervigilent on what my neighbors are up to. Short of digging up the garden in the middle of the night.....or cementing a patio....
The people who live next door have two kids ages 6 and 10 years old. I have not seen them since about March 1st. But I hear them every day running and pounding on the walls of their townhouse.
I did see their mother out on the porch and asked about the kids and she said that since the COVID-19 virus started to be an issue she has not allowed the kids to go outside their home. That has been almost four months now with no end in sight.
I don't believe it would be possible for my three kids to stay at home trapped in the house for that long 24/7. They would go nuts and act out. I don't even know if it is healthy to stay indoors 24/7 as kids. In my travels outside, I have seen more kids outside during the last four months than any time since I was a kid 30 years ago. The walking path near my home is jammed with adults and kids, bikes are sold out and everywhere, parks are jammed and kids are playing noncontact sports. But the kids next door remain trapped in their home 24/7. Your thoughts?
Are you keeping them under surveillance 24/7? Do you see them receiving food delivery? Do you know if someone in their home has immune problems? You don't know what's really going on next door and she doesn't owe you an explanation.
With it being a townhouse the family doesn’t have it’s own backyard so worried about being close to others. Maybe someone in the family is severely immune compromised.
