[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It’s made me mad. I will never ever forget the feeling of abandonment. The whole world walked out. I was home alone with 3 small children, one with special needs, for 15 months. Our schools didn’t reopen. Therapies were only on zoom. And nobody cared. My parents social distanced from us. My DH can’t work from home and was out of the house from 8-7 every weekday. Soooo many “friends” and neighbors gushed about all the “silver linings” of the pandemic and how they enjoyed the family time and slower pace. Can’t relate. At all. [/quote]

Well, I can understand why of course your parents distanced from you, and since your husband works outside the home, isn’t thwt what you wanted? Did you really want your elderly parents to expose themselves to covid via your husbands workplace exposure? You need to let that anger at your parents go.

But I get what you mean. My husband had to work outside the home too and his ex with whom we share custody had a dangerous job too. Meanwhile so many of my friends were able to hunker down in country houses and telecommute. Or even just their own homes and telecommute. Yet many of them complained rather than realize how lucky they were, to be able to stay home.

And one of my friends who was telecommuting from a beach house got in an argument with me about how people like my husbands ex (who works in a restaurant) should be working in person because it’s good for the economy. She said this while staying home and getting groceries delivered. It pissed me off. She offered no sympathy for our situation. Just complained about how hard it is was to be sequestered in her beach house with her kids and live in nanny. Poor poor her.

I can’t be friends with her anymore. I’m still pissed.[/quote]
