See her grandparents, travel overseas, go to school without a mask, play on a playground, go to church, etc, etc.

Take her to a playground today. Take some hand sanitizer. It is low risk. Start dealing with things.

State quarantine doesn't allow for it. How privileged you must be for that not to be an issue for you.

What state doe you live in? We are seeing grandparents. I'm unaware of a state that forbids seeing grandparents.

They are in New Mexico. We aren't allowed without a 14 day quarantine.

Come and move to Nebraska, OP! The number of cases and deaths are low, things are opening up. Schools will open in the fall. There is a state of the art medical center funded by our resident billionaires that is front line on many of the covid trials here. Join us!

People are traveling, seeing friends, going out to eat, children were back at school in the spring and will return in the fall. Virus levels are currently extremely low. It is not normal here because our government has failed to control the pandemic and because many refuse to follow guidance that could help us achieve a more normal life.

Wearing a mask everywhere and social distancing is not a normal life.

I thought it was going to be about a child with a cancer diagnosis.

I would if they were open - I'm not anxious about the virus. But the county has shut them all down.

Now, you will think it is your job to make mom happy in her misery. But, that is just because you grew up like that. She trained you to be her support instead of her being your support. You might think she is talking about the coronavirus ruining some life that you should have led, but in future you will realize that she was talking about her own immature problems. Her inability to cope with life is what will ruin your life. With time, if you do not already feel this way, you will start to feel guilty when mom is unhappy depressed or has anxiety attack. You will try to do better but nothing will ever be enough. One day, if you are lucky you will realize that you can never relax or lead your own life as you would like to, because she has become your only priority. Hopefully, one day you will realize that you were not to blame for her emotional issues. That you were denied a life where you, a child, comes first in her mom's priorities. Hopefully then, you will be able to break away from the guilt your mom put on your tiny little shoulders and start living your own life. Good luck, little angel, remember, it is not your fault."

You are why I didn't even bother to make friends after this last PCS.

Truth hurts op. You are a danger to your child. You will never see it, you sound like an insane ocd narcissists.

I would take her to a playground today if they were open! Hell, I'd take her to see her grandparents! But state restrictions and all. What exactly am I supposed to do?

Where are you located? I don’t think that’s the case here? Maybe someone here will know something about where you’re located to give you ideas on how to get out.

I like how OP went from "she is NEVER going to be able to travel. She is NEVER going to be able to do x,y,z" to "omg I would totally take her to a playground if they were open!".

It's like two completely different OPs are posting at this point

Most of should be more afraid of having a car accident or getting cancer than Covid...

Nope, crazy person. Nope. It means what we are doing for right now.

Where are you that the playgrounds aren't open? I'm in fairly locked down, everyone wear a Mask Michigan, and our playgrounds are open and we are planning for schools to open next month in many areas.
