[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Just a vent.   I’m tired of being my kids’ playmates and full time working parent from home.  Honestly even if I was a full time SAHM I’d feel tired of being my kids’ playmate, and it’s not ideal anyway for their development!  My kids do a really great job of playing with each other, but the older kid tends to dominate the agenda.  I feel bad for my younger kid and will play dolls house etc with her.  She needs a friend to do that!   We won’t be vaccinated till at least may 1 — and who knows how much later after that — so this seems so far off.  Until then we do take the kids to playgrounds but I feel like I have to watch them carefully to make sure they’re playing with masked kids, who are wearing their masks properly (a tall order).   Just wishing the vaccine distribution would speed up for dc.  That’s all.  Just a vent. [/quote]

I’m in your situation with 7 and 4 yo. In the fall we found a pandemic friend for 4 yo this past fall whose parents are strict with masks and we meet outside only. It makes a big difference. This was through an online preschool, but can you maybe post on a local parent page? There are definitely lots of families out there with a similar situation. We now have a handful of families we meet with and I think it helps normalize it for the kids.[/quote]
