[quote=Anonymous]We're all doing the best we can - let's give ourselves and each other more grace. These are strange times, we don't have mental frameworks and guidelines for every possible scenario that comes up during a pandemic, and everyone has different health and personal circumstances that are factored into every decision.  A small example is a lot of posters describing driveways, which we don't have in my neighborhood.  Also, we are often confronted with situations we never thought of before, like the little kid ringing the doorbell, and we may end up doing something we might not have done if we had more time to think it through.

We did trick-or-treating at our own house and the kids said it was the best Halloween ever.  My kids feel safer at home than in public, and they would have been stressed out being around other people and worrying about if they were 6 feet away, wearing masks, etc., so that would have sucked the fun out of trick-or-treating.

I agree that the kids have lost a lot, and we have to do the best we can to model resilience and creativity and gratitude for what we have.  Just as pre-covid, we're going to win some and lose some.  If Halloween wasn't awesome, we can think up a way to make another regular old day special.[/quote]
