[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]But in past years (pre-covid) did newborn/young baby parents really not visit other moms? Not go out to eat? Avoid all shopping and only receive deliveries? All to avoid RSV and flu?[/quote]

I pissed off my SIL because I wouldn't take my 4 week old to Easter dinner. Then her germy daycare kid came down with an ear infection. That kid had a permanent runny nose and cough for two years after she started daycare.

I don't really care what other people do, but having my neonate admitted to the NICU with a virus is an experience I'd rather skip. If a mom feels like she needs the socialization to feel human I'm not going to s**t on her. I do raise an eyebrow at [b]people who have time off but send their kids to daycare, I don't get that, but it is not my problem to deal with.[/b] [/quote]

Oh man, I don't normally do the "just you wait!" thing, but ... wait until you have a toddler, and you'll understand.  :roll:

Also, "germy daycare kids" judgment is really just you showing your true colors about people who can't afford to stay at home with their kids or hire a full-time nanny.

I wouldn't be mad if someone didn't want to bring their newborn around my toddler with a cold, but that's where my agreement with this snobby nonsense ends.[/quote]
