Looks like the party’s definitely over. A father in New York reportedly banned his son from the family home after the college student went on a spring break trip amidst the coronavirus pandemic. According to the father, it’s just too risky. I spoke with him every day and told him that maybe they should come home,” Peter told the New York Post. “I was aggravated. The news here was getting worse and worse. Matt sent me pictures of him and his friends congregating outdoors and listening to live music. It’s the scene you would not want to be in.” Matt and his friends apparently had trouble getting home amidst the pandemic. Their return flight to New York was reportedly rerouted to Tennessee after reports of a coronavirus case at LaGuardia. When Matt finally made it back to his father's house, he apparently found his car full of groceries. “His grandparents live here and there is no need to expose them to god knows what he had been exposed to,” Peter explained. Matt ultimately returned to his off-campus apartment near Springfield College in Massachusetts (which has closed campus due to the outbreak), but his lease ends in June, the New York Post reports. After that, his father isn’t sure where he’ll end up after that.

Okay. Call off the competition. We have a winner for Father of The Year.
You go, girlfriend.
“His grandparents live here and there is no need to expose them to god knows what he had been exposed to,” Peter explained.

Good enough reason to keep the son out.
Millennials are born somewhere between early 80’s and 2000. I think this generation is Gen Z. Tend to be more competitive rather than inclusive.
I wouldn’t let him in either.
This world no longer has time for stupid people, and that includes almost all Millennials and even a good selection of Flubros around here.

Sounds like dad has a backbone...refreshing.
Good for Dad.
My pharmicist’s son came back from China and she told him he couldn’t come home until he got tested.He refused. She called Department of health. They sent L.O. to get him.
Son posted a picture of himself on Facebook in protective clothing a sanitary veiled hat sitting in hall waiting to get test.
He posted “ this is what happens when you come back from China and tell your Mom you won’t get tested”.
Mom of year?
Finally, a man with some balls. Nice to see.

Why can’t this spread like a virus?
“Why can’t this spread like a virus?”
It can.

Word.
“’I would say, to people who are thinking of being blasé like my mindset was at the beginning, take it more seriously. Because if you get it, and you get it bad, it will be one of the most traumatic experiences of your life... if you survive it.’”
Who paid for his spring break holiday? I never got that when I was in college.
Good on Dad.
he also won son of the year for putting his foot down abd protecting his parents that live with him from the self-absorbed stupidity of his son.
Good point.
Well, to be honest I had a similar conversation with my 21 year old son—a senior at a college 3 hours away from us in the SF Bay Area. His thought about coming home (March-June) to do his now online college work involved going here and there, in and out of the house, visiting friends and his girlfriend. . .and to be honest I didn’t relish the thought of him home unexpectedly and for 4 long months.
I also told him we are taking the “shelter-in-place” (quarantine) very seriously—I haven’t been out of the house myself since 3-14. Same with my 2 teens and husband. Why risk him bringing the virus to our household due to his not taking it seriously? And it’s hard enough with all 4 of us cooped up in here—and he’s a grown man. . .suddenly back with parents’ rules?—and he has kind of a difficult personality.
So—and also because his lease in his rented room isn’t up until June—he’s staying in his college town until June when his online college Spring quarter is done and he “graduates” with no ceremony. Kind of alone as many of his friends moved back “home” to their parents. I worry about him but it was the best decision for all of us.
It’s hard.
I hope the son isn't as horrible to his parents when they are old and need him as they are to him now.....the sins of the father....
