[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Really? I don't know anyone without school age kids weighing in. If anything, they are so blissfully unaware that it's annoying. Like my boomer parents not understanding why I've been stressed for 2 years straight (DD was in kindergarten last year)[/quote]

OP here and I’m glad to hear that. Meanwhile my boomer parents feel free to weigh in and suggest things they personally would never have been okay with when I was in school (I.e. “what if you send them to school and pick them up every day to eat lunch in your car and then they go back to school”). It’s been… interesting.

I also know several people with kids too young for school who like to be shouty about it and it’s exhausting because they are speaking from a parents perspective as though their kids going to school is on the table, which it’s not, because their kids are 2 and 3 (but too young for PK in our district). I just don’t really get it. Sit it out, folks! I wish I could![/quote]

PP here. I think our stance on boomer parents is the same. Just so blissfully ignorant to reality.

I don’t know any non-school age parents weighing in though thankfully. When all this started, we didn’t have a school age kid and I was so sympathetic to school age parent when schools down. Our preK stayed open (though we kept her home at our choice for awhile).[/quote]
