i hate this, i hate this, i hate this

[Anonymous]

Some days are better than others. Today is not a good day. Every time an announcement hits, I get so sad. Our city just closed pools and splash pads for the summer (not in DC). I am just SAD.

I am a SAHM and my kids are under 5. We didn't lose jobs. Our lives our GOOD. My kids are happy and blissfully unaware.

But, i hate this. I hate that my son missed t-ball for the first time. No swimming?! All summer?

And now, possibly no school next year?

I'm sad. I hate this. I want to quit.

Sit with me, and vent.

Dude, I hear ya. I'm finding it harder and harder to even get out of bed every day. And I have a job, probably reasonably secure for at least a little while. And I have kids old enough to be self-sufficient, but this sucks. Can we please get just a little good news? Or some sort of game plan? Something besides a hateful, sexist, racist spewing conspiracy theories and lies day in and day out? And even worse--seeing that people actually believe it all.

Please, just someone restore my faith in humanity.

Me too. Hate, hate, hate it.

Got a message from my kid's teacher that he's not turning the video on for Zoom calls. I have a job and simply can't monitor that. And kid (5th grader) knows that nothing this quarter is being graded, so he doesn't think he should bother with any of the distance learning stuff. He knows he is getting an A (school is averaging all grades from the 1st 3 quarters, and he has straight As), and said straight out that even if he got a D, that a D in 5th grade during a pandemic isn't going to change any aspect of his life. And he's right. I can't argue with that.

I appreciate the "good news", like John Krasinski's show, but I mean some REAL good news...

I am also SICK of the discrepancy. So, our pools are closed but wineries are opening...? I'm going CRAZY here.

I hate it too.

And I hate that MoCo almost certainly won’t go along with Hogan’s reopening timeline, and yet stupid Elrich won’t give us a plan. I just need a fking plan, so I know what to look for to see if we’re close to the end of this crapshow.

Again I'm not in DC (anymore). But here, wineries and salons are opening Friday but splash pads just closed for the summer. I mean...WTF.

The thing is, nobody knows when it will end. You're an adult. You should grasp that.

I know. It's nice for me working form home with a flex schedule, even dsspite the stress, but I'm so sad for my kid. No friends, pools, or school just sucks so much. He's moody in a way he never has been before.

Dude?

I'm just so tired of being stressed out about the what-if's. Is school happening? What about college? What about my kid's sport? I've already accepted no HS graduation, but I need to have some hope for the fall.

You're in the wrong thread. This is the venting thread. We're not stupid.

The thing is, governments are supposed to PLAN.

Hogan has a plan. Elrich has none and his public health officer doesn’t even know how many people are in the hospitals in MoCo with COVID, and yet says we can’t reopen yet.

Doesn't matter. I want a PLAN. Stop closing things but opening some things. DOESN'T MAKE SENSE.
