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.

If you need to take it running,
Then you need never look back again.

You take it on the run, baby;
If that's the way you want it, baby,
Then I don't want you around...

“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,””

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?

Who paid for his spring break holiday? I never got that when I was in college.

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.

punish the youth!

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....

I am totally onboard with what this parent did, and I am one of those who thinks COVID is overblown.

Be prudent for each context to the extent you can or are willing to go.

And who’s going to pay for his housing after June if he can’t go back to the parents’ house ??

Could it be he would have to get a job at a time when so many are out of work ?

The kid is pretty careless considering his grandparents live in that house.

Dad is so smart.

He’s also not by himself; the parents of the other Spring Breakers have apparently decided the Spring Breakers need to stay away from their families as well.

Smart parents.

He’s way too thoughtful, buying the kid groceries.
Come on man, how much did Spring Break and plane tix cost?
Did you pay for his food and booze when he was down there partying?

The kid had the SIP (selfish immature prick) virus and his dad just found the cure!

Common sense. A wise Father, a stupid son.

His lease ends in June!

Oh, the horror!

He'll have to have Dad write another check in 2 or 3 months and rent the same apartment for another term or find a place in a town of empty rentals or live in his room at home.

How will he survive?

Good for Dad! If you’re young and healthy the risk is low, but we still need to protect our most vulnerable. Dad made the right call which too many parents have trouble doing these days.

The son will be fine. He can easily find a job stocking shelves or shopping/delivering groceries to the homebound.
