[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP again. We’ve tried inviting families into our bubble. I’m not a hermit, but I take precautions like only shopping at TJ’s where they entice masks & distancing. We see two versions of families—those who stay home and those who have F you attitude: “Let the vulnerable & elderly die off.” We are willing to let people in, but can’t seem to find families in the middle. A PP said it succintly, “Is the solution that I die?” My husband has said “no, she needs a mother more than friends and the families who fail to distance & mask is why we can’t have school.” We’ve tried invited friends in the bubble. What else can we do? No cousins for that idea. Sometimes only children are not by choice and there is a family history of infertility. [/quote]

I don’t know anyone who has a let people die attitude. I suspect you are more conservative than you are admitting. I think we are in the middle but we allow our daughter to go to the homes of two other friends. She has had sleepovers with these friends, been outside, gone to Starbucks etc. We go out and shop at Target, the grocery store other stores with masks etc.

You can decide to keep things as they are and risk your child’s mental health or modify what you are doing. Posting here isn’t likely to fix either.[/quote]
