A member of the community asks:
“My brother is mad that I will not allow him to see his girlfriend during this outbreak: Thoughts? I basically told my brother that he isn’t allowed to visit his girlfriend with this pandemic going on at the moment. It’s spreading fast where I am at. I told him he could either stay here or he could stay with her, but I wasn’t going to have him going back and forth (he takes UBER).
I have two littles plus two older kids with asthma. I am not risking them getting sick. He is now begging me to let him see her or to at least let her come to my house. I swear I’m at the point of losing my sh** over this. How can no one be taking this seriously?
I should add that he is living with me at the moment until he can get back up on his feet. (He was kicked out of our parent’s house.) I’m not asking him to pay bills or anything, just to pick up after himself. I’m ready to give him the boot if he says anything one more time. Am in the wrong for doing this? I love my brother, but my kids come first. I would hate to have to do something like this during this time.”
