Enough with the eye-rolls and being called hysterical.

Yep. They miss their audience. You can see it here. They’ve really ramped up the drama in their posts.

Look on this board. No one is referred to as any of those things if all they say is we aren't going back to daycare this summer.

You will see the people who get described as hysterical or catastrophizing are the ones who are acting in hysterical or catastrophizing ways based on what they are saying.

I don't believe you at all that a simple no to a question led to rants against you multiple times.

OP here. You are wrong. All I said to the direct question was “no”. Not one thing more. And it’s happened four times in the last two days.

No it hasn't. Or else there is so much history prior to these very simple but frequent conversations you are having that people already know you are extremely dramatic.

But I am 99.999999% sure this didn't happen 4 times in the last two days in response to you saying the word no to your child returning to daycare.

Just a heads up, you look REALLY silly when you dig in your heels so hard to deny a poster own story just because it doesn't fit your own narrative.

Honestly, I think people just really want to reassure themselves that camps will go on, and they can send their kids, even if they know it may not happen. When you say no, it is a kernel of doubt that this will happen for them, bc it shows that people are still worried about the virus this summer. That gets people angry, but its really not at you.

I get riled up at doom and gloom stuck here for two years people and I found it was affecting my responses to even more cautious but rational people until I reeled my crazy back in.

DP- I agree with PP. OP is either lying or she’s as over dramatic as the people attacking her. Most sane people dgaf what others do, and crazy attracts crazy.

Yes, except that they continue to contribute to viral spread.

It's OK, OP.

You can respond to their eyerolling with a smug grin in two weeks when cases and deaths spike again.

I can't believe that you care that much about other people's opinions of you that you would rant and sound somewhat hysterical on here.

335 new positive COVID-19 cases today in DC alone. Yesterday there were 217 new cases and the day before 112 new cases. Just saying.

They go on mute immediately, even if it’s family. I don’t have space for their need to manipulate.

[Anonymous]

I'm with the camp that really can't imagine this happening.

but if it's happening 4 times in two days, maybe you need an answer other than no.

At this point, I'd shrug and say, I guess we'll find out. Or, who knows?

I wonder if you live in the DC area.

I don't think the mute button does what you think it does.

Not the button, dear(literal)heart. There place in my life is muted. An entirely different sort of social distancing. Anyone that needs to tell me what to do rather than have a conversation or offer grace on letting another adult make their own choices. Being overly critical or rolling eyes on a regular basis is not something I invite into my like. Be honest, be blunt, but don’t try to run me over with your opinion. (You here being my friend, not other poster. )
