Think. Does it make sense to you that you are behaving so differently from everyone else? How do you justify it?

Actually that's incorrect. I have a 18 month old and we were completely isolated until DC got a shot. Since then we have started doing outdoor activities. I know other parents personally who have been the same and are slowly venturing out. Stop making her feel bad and like she is alone.
I work full time but have been able to work from home as my place or work are very cautious still about covid.
I have been taking care of my child whilst working. Its been incredibly difficult. A close friend is doing the same. For us the struggle was worth protecting our babies over. I had a nanny for a few months but found it a real pain.
Now that DC is vaccinated we will be sending DC to a daycare for 2 days a week. It's taken me a lot to get go this point. I also have a underlying condition. You can do this. Just take it slow. Be cautious. Check their policy. Don't let anyone make you feel ridiculous. Only YOU get to decide your risk tolerance. Due to the nature of my work I came across terrible covid cases and decided I didn't want that for my family. I also lost a family member ro covid and wanted to protect my child.
And for those who will comment about my child suffering absolutely not DC is ahead for DC's age,
spirited and a happy child. And does fine in the park around other kids.

Yeah but you’re in the vast minority.

You're a herd follower, we get it.

This is definitely unusual. Only 5% of daycare eligible kids are even vaccinated. You’re an outlier and your behavior is strange. In most of the country it would have been strange in fall 2020. It’s incredibly strange in almost fall 2022. It’s even stranger since we now know the vaccine doesn’t prevent transmission and that almost everyone will catch covid at some point.

Unbelievable that your child has been home without a full time childcare provider while you work, and you think this is better than the child catching covid! Your child has a miserable existence and will likely catch covid anyway. How sad.

Ha ha how funny you don't even know my child. I took care of her whilst I worked and did a pretty damn good job.

Better than my nanny did.

And funnily enough I didn't do so bad at work either.

Enjoy your afternoon.

That was an extremely privileged and small bubble of people.
I have had to work in person throughout the pandemic and my then-1 year old was continuously in daycare except for the few weeks that all childcare was shut down in April 2020. We didn’t have the luxury to do otherwise.

I remember the teacher working class heros acting like we were monsters for wondering if masking damages language acquisition in children.

The super privileged can afford nannies.

The reason I asked about whether OP understands she is far out of step with the norm is to encourage her to seek out accurate information and risk assesment instead of getting information from possibly marginal sources. It’s fine to make a conscious and informed decision to take a certain course of action for health care reasons, but it’s not clear OP is doing that.

As someone with bad health anxiety (that is now under control with therapy and meds), you’re experiencing extreme anxiety. Sure, getting Covid can cause some longer issues, but most people are going to get it and will not experience long problems. I know very few people who have not had it, and I know NO kids who even got very sick. And honestly, lots of other viruses (like Epstein-Barr) are out there and can cause long term problems or risks. I don’t say that to scare you but to put in perspective that there are risks everywhere. If you’ve kept your family that isolated since 2020, the isolation is much worse than Covid. You really should heed the advice on this board and get treated for anxiety. I promise that a much better life is out there.

I listen to pediatricians with public platforms who say that if the child is fully vaccinated (and even better when they can get boosted), the risk of severe disease for them is very low. Hope this helps- I think once you bite the bullet and do it, overall you’ll feel better.

Oh my lord. What happened to you that you’re this concerned about covid for a young child?? There are so many other important things to focus on for children. This behavior is insane.

Well a child in my family has cancer and was given a small chance of survival so there’s that. Take your sociopathic behavior somewhere else.

That is very sad but what does that have to do with covid? Covid won’t likely alter their survival rate or timeline of their cancer much if at all, and, it’s not your child so how does it affect your families choices exactly

without divulging personal information the child has altered lung capacity from a transplant and bc of this has significant risk to their life. Their immune system is so compromised they have to go to the ER with a fever. It’s been an incredibly traumatic 5 years since the diagnosis and on top of this, I have long term complications I have to manage from a virus and an early cancer diagnosis that was probably caused by these complications. The fact is no one knows what the long term impacts are of repeated infections bc the virus is so new. So wanting to take basic MITIGATION measures is NOT insane when it comes to unknowns and health. That’s all I will respond to about this.

Not sending your child to school isn’t a “basic mitigation measure”, but, ok

Basic mitigation is vaccination and being prepared to get paxlovid, evushield, or other monoclonal antibodies. Wearing your own n95. Keeping a child isolated their entire childhood is not basic mitigation.
