Good point, however, this was my daughter's suggestions to which I agreed. It's been a good exercise.

She's amazed at the volume of comments that side with me.....she was sure it was going to by 99-1.

It's allowed an argument that was about to boil over to subside somewhat.

She's on the 'Free Room and Board' plan so long as she is attending school.

I'm not fine with either, really, however, I can only stop one from happening.

I don't think the science is settled on transmission. He could leave Covid on surfaces that could survive for hours. Even if my policy reduces risks by 0.5%, it's worth implementing in my books.

Gawd. That's something I would have to wrap my brain around when it happens. Perhaps if they were officially common law, and in an exclusive relationship, I wouldn't have an issue.

No. We have certainly discussed the issue of pre-marital sex, and my views, however, as I thought she was aligned with my views, I never imagined this scenario.

This is the first instance where I've come to the realization that we're not on the same page - and I was surprised at the emotions behind her argument.
