[quote=Anonymous]With our ES kid, we have seen vaccinated adults inside and unmasked-- which has been awesome! Otherwise we stay outside and often also masked, though the mask part is easing.

I am going to see my unvaccinated denialist side of the family and am not bringing my kid. It sucks, but that's on them-- they won't stay outside and I'm really trying to see my grandmother, who can't really go outside or stay there long anyway.

I have almost no concern that my child will have a severe case if she gets COVID. But as it's always been, I'm more concerned with the effect of my and my kid's behavior on others moreso than on ourselves. I don't want my kid to get a mild case, spread it to a friend who has a mild case who spreads it to their aunt, who dies.

In fact, that's exactly how my uncle died-- and that side of the family is still in denial. They figured they had COVID, so even if they get it again, oh well, it's not that bad... apparently forgetting how they gave it to their mother, who was hospitalized, and their brother-in-law, who died.

But back to the question-- I think a lot of people in general are revealing how much they think of their children as extensions of themselves, and how little they either understand or care to understand how their actions affect people they may never meet. [/quote]
