[quote=Anonymous]Can you persevere, OP? Perhaps by telling yourself that this is a good opportunity to start working on your phobia? I know the onslaught is overwhelming, but what if you went out for a few minutes every day, as exposure therapy? For your child's playground needs, I agree with trying to find somewhere less cicada-covered, although I don't know where you'd find it. I live near downtown Bethesda, and to me there doesn't seem to be that many cicadas, so perhaps try one of the playgrounds in Bethesda, the ones where there aren't so many trees? You'll have to avoid the hot afternoon hours, though. I'm thinking of Caroline Freeland in downtown, or maybe Greenwich? Focus on ones that seem to be recent and not too covered by old trees...
