[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have 3 kids ages 5 and under. In my circles - through the local ES, preschool, my exercise group - everyone went into lockdown in March and very few are creeping back out. I’m a sahm as are most of my friends(?)... I’m the only one I know of whose husband can’t work from home. I’m also the only one without local family or a nanny/Au pair. I’m always alone with my kids. All day every day. I’ve asked to do socially distanced bike rides and picnics and so on and it’s always met with concerns of risk. I’m so over it. We have a group text going and nobody is taking their kids trick or treating... or going to pumpkin patches this year. I just can’t believe that so many people are willing to live like this for this long. I am certainly taking precautions. No crowds. We always wear masks. My kids aren’t in school. But I would love to do outdoor play dates. More for ME than anyone else. 
My sisters in New England are taking precautions but life doesn’t seem so restricted. They can’t believe so many of my “friends” are content to stay holed up in their houses for the duration of the pandemic. [/quote]

YOU are being inconsiderate to what the other moms are doing for their families. You want to do those activities? Fine! But that doesn't mean that they should PRIORATIZE trick or treating and picnics over their health. You need to respect their choices and move on.[/quote]
