I didn't ask for anything, I just think you've got to put yourself in her shoes. What was the actual risk of her seeing her friends one last time before being caged for weeks, and who knows how much longer? The risk was minimal, particularly in comparison to her parents going out every day - necessary or not.
I'm not sure that I mentioned this, but she didn't go to McDonalds to meet friends. She just wanted a McDonalds. Even brought it home and ate it in the house.
For the final time, her behaviour WAS moronic and selfish. What was wrong though is that I lost my rag and could have dealt with it better.
Nothing there seems at all moronic or selfish. She just wanted to enjoy something before being locked up for who knows how long. I really don't think she did anything that justifies your anger at all.
Also, the way you're talking to me is indicative of how you talk to her: you are not the fucking messiah jamest - you hold an opinion, but that opinion does not magically become fact simply because it's yours. She's 18, a legal adult, and she has the right to go to a shop, that's still open, before lock-down actually occurred. So say it as many times as you like, but there's nothing final there at all - her behavior was, at worst, a little bit risky but presumably, as an adult, she decided that little risk was worth it.
