Honestly, just stop taking your sick kids to playgrounds

My kids are a little older than yours. They got every single thing until they were three and then it magically stopped. Now they rarely get sick at all. If your child hasn’t gone through the process yet, get ready because it’s coming. |

Wow. You really are dense. It’s not about the cold, dear, no one cares about a routine cold. It’s the concern that’s it’s covid and the tests, expense, and the keeping the kids out of school and daycare. These are not normal times. If you can’t understand that, there is nothing more we can say to you. |

NP. What a strange strange take on people bringing sick kids to the playground. Viewing things through your lens must be exhausting. |

DH and I are the only backup. We have to take off work when our child can’t go to daycare. I’m hourly (I don’t get paid when I don’t work) and he has already used up all sick days and vacation for 2022. Our copay for the covid test is $35. You do not have to bring your sick kid to the playground. It really is just that simple. You could actually think of others for once in your life. At least try during this pandemic. |

Yes I can. This was on a Friday afternoon and we were home the entire weekend, didn’t even go to the grocery store and on Sunday evening/mon morning kids woke up with fever and cold. |

OP here. This post above wasn’t mine. You can be at the playground if you must but why the hell can’t you tell your kid to keep his mask on and keep his distance to other kids if he’s sick? I guess you’re not just elitist but also lazy. |

My younger kid has been sick for months on and off since starting at daycare, and she was not 1 year old before covid started last year and we had kept her home at home for 1 plus year. For the last few months, she got sick from daycare a few times, and we have kept her home for many days a few time with trips to pediatrician and covid test many times.
My older kid has been at daycare in person the whole time during pandemic who luckily no single day of getting sick at all, except he has been sick for September because thank you to public kindergarten. I assume many kindergartener or kids at public school were out of school and virtual for 1 plus year, and he got sick from school a few times with trips to pediatrician and covid test many times. My 2 kids infect each other as well at home. So last week, 2 kids were sick with cough and fever. This week, my 2 kids were sick with diarhera and lack of energy. We have stayed home for the last few weekends. |

Not likely since I am white. I’m just embarrassed by white elitists like you. |

| I mean it's a public place. The kid might have tuberculosis or AIDS |

And this post has... what, exactly, to do with bringing your sick kids to the playground? |

| It's not even good for kids to never get sick |

Neither of which are as contagious as a cold nor do either mimic covid during a covid pandemic. Jesus, you’re an idiot, PP. |

IT’S NOT ABOUT THE COLD. |

If you follow the science and you sound like you do the chances of your kid getting sick from the park is far, far, far outweighed by their chance of getting sick at daycare. Many of us have to work to get paid so we accept that. |
