Our grandkids wear masks in school without giving it a second thought. It’s not a big deal.

Do you wear a mask 24/7 also? Or is the masking burden just on your grandkids?

Yes

Sure you do Jan.

You must live in Texas

I'm not allowed to be uncomfortable around anxious people? I fought severe anxiety for years, and part of my recovery is not being around people who cling to it...because I tend to jump right back in. Yes, it means I have to do things I'd rather not do and not be around people I'd like to get to know better, but my mental health comes first.

Weird

Lucky for you, I don't care what you think of my recovery from a severe mental illness. I do hope you don't claim to support mental health, though.

BTW, the “forever masking” lie is propaganda perpetuated by dumb Trumpers. If you’re a dumb Trumper, or pretending to be one, brava.

New poster and I’m a liberal, trump hater and believe masking kids at this point is doing way more harm than good.

What harm has it done? Its the first time we haven't been constantly sick.

Wait, I thought masking was to keep from overwhelming the hospitals? Now it's so we'll never get sick again? Yeah, no. Not playing that game. *achoo*

To still be masking these days after everything that we know about COVID is just crazy. I mean do whatever you want but people are judging you and your kids. I rarely see masks these days in McLean unless the wearers are the very elderly.

If your anxiety is so barely controlled that social exposure to other anxious people in a setting as limited as a birthday party is a problem, you need more treatment before you're "recovered."

Perhaps. But I choose to avoid anxious people, and if I can't, e.g., if DD wanted a masker friends to come, my feelings on the matter are valid. And since there is a genetic component, I also prefer she not cultivate serious friendships with friends suffering from a social contagion.

How about wear a good mask around grandma and baby and let the kid live his life.

Not the OP (I am the PP who wrote that). My kids think grandma is a more important part of their life then the location they eat cake in. If your kids bake family so little you can’t relate that’s really sad.

The whole “they need to live their lives just stop seeing the disabled people!” Nastiness completely ignore the fact that people with disabilities are part of other people’s lives.

Enough with the you don't care about grandma histrionics. You're not the only one with a grandma. There is a way to see vulnerable people in your life and still allow a child to go about daily activities without a mask on. Wear a mask around the person and the other person masks and test before you see them. It's a pretty obvious answer.

The obvious answer is to have the newborn right of the NICU mask? Really?

No the obvious answer there is don’t let the kid near the newborn which would be quite easy to do. The newborn out of a NICU shouldn’t be around people anyway.

This exactly…a newborn right out of the NICU should be nowhere near an elementary school child if it can be prevented. OP’s kid can wear an N95 around grandma.

This. It doesn't follow that OP is more worried about a one time 2-hr bday party when kid is eating lunch and snacks for hour plus unmasked at school every day!

Darn, you're in a pickle. If everyone felt the same as you, your child would have zero friends.

Look at all the studies coming out saying kids have taken a step back socially and academically

They probably are from families who test. Many others have covid but don’t test.
