I have a problem.. my husband finds so many reasons to go to the store or out with the car,
I am 83 year old women, and afraid of this virus.. Mike goes out even when we do not need things
we could live on the items he now have in our home for 2 months.. When quarantined I understand
we do not need to shop from a store if we can order delivery. Well, both of our stores do delivery,
but he has to have an excuse to go out on the sims.. How can you stop him from going out, my words
do nothing to contain him???????
