Get out with your kids. This isn’t going anywhere. It’s fine to go out to eat or to a movie. Pick a time when the restaurants and theaters won’t be crowded. There were maybe ten people in the theater the last time we saw a movie.

Living your life in fear is much more harmful than omicron is.

Oh Jesus, stop already with the “living your life in fear” CRAP. Is wearing a seatbelt living your life in fear? Parents of young, unvaccinated children are taking necessary precautions to keep our little kids from getting covid in any mutation. That is living your life as a good parent not living your life in fear.

No one needs to go to the fricking movies or a restaurant. Grow the f up.

You sound very angry. And not at all well. I’m sorry you are struggling.

+1 there is no comparison between wearing a seatbelt (and still driving!) and isolating your family. The risk to little kids is much smaller than a lot of other risks we tolerate every day. We’re being extra cautious right now because this temporary surge is straining hospitals, but when cases go down again we have to live.

I have a 3 year old and a newborn and live in CT where the temperature has been consistently under 17 degrees and it’s now 3 degrees. Husband works from home and in a different room.
So we just ….put each step in front of other and hope this pandemic is done. Yes I am extremely jealous of my childless friends who are currently on vacation in sunny places or cozying up in coffeehouses and movie theaters.

OP here. I don’t appreciate being diagnosed with anxiety and depression by a random internet stranger. As I said earlier, I have been diagnosed with depression 20 years ago. I recovered well with therapy - not meds - and that is not what this is. I am

I am not struggling. I am just so tired of idiots like you and find it hard to contain my frustration. I’m sorry you’re so stupid.

Not going to restaurants or movies isn't isolating her kids. You have no idea what her life looks like. Not all activities are high risk. Just because you can't figure out how to let your kids socialize in low risk settings doesn't mean anything about anyone else.

Many parents of young unvaccinated kids have judged the risks for themselves, decided what is acceptable and have returned to some semblance of normal life. You don’t speak for everyone.

+1. Also, I think we need to accept the possibility that there may never be an effective vaccine developed for kids under 5, best case it is still a ways off. Are people really prepared to live this strictly until their kids are 5?

I agree with PPs saying to get out more with your kids. Museums, libraries, etc.

Kids don't get that sick from covid. Look at the stats yourself. They're going to get it anyway. Move on with your life.

Sorry but “that sick” doesn’t cut it with me when it comes to my 15 month old. You can move on with your life without risking your baby getting sick.

NP here and you missed the point. We wear seat belts to protect us in case of a collision - is that living in fear? The vast majority of us will never have a collision where a seat belt would save our lives.

The PP, like many of us, are tired of the parroted “living in fear” line when it’s common place in modern society to take precautions against things that - odds are - will never happen.

It’s like is getting fire insurance on your home living in fear?

And a lot of us continue with our lives while protecting our children and don’t need the parrots squawking that we’re “living in fear”. We just love our kids more than we love going to bars, indoor restaurants and movies!
