[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Kid was born before vaccines at the height of pandemic. Can you not understand why he's paranoid? I'm guessing you were too. Lots of people have PTSD from seeing 1 million Americans die in 16 months. Hopefully your husband will be 'over it' by the time you decide to go for a second child.[/quote]
Oh please! Plenty of us have pandemic babies that have been going to daycare and other activities with precautions. We’re not in 2020 or 2021 anymore.[/quote]

Correct. We are now in 2022 and these babies are still not vaccinated. People are still dying and getting sick people are just pretending they aren’t. I think Dad is right on this one. OP needs to be ok with that.[/quote]

But where does it end? Do you need the baby isolated until they are 5 and can get vaccinated? Because I don’t see the under 5s getting vaccinated any time soon. I am saying this as a mom of a 2 year old. [/quote]

We all don’t have to make the same choices or have the same comfort level.  [/quote]

Pp here - agree we don’t have to make the same choices. But I feel bad for the children in this situation. [/quote]

I don’t.  My older child gained a lot in being just with nanny or us from 14 months to 2 years and 10 months.  The socialization he missed he quickly made up for in preschool.  My 19 month old does outdoor music class and an outdoor library storytime and plays in the park with other kids.  She’s never been on an airplane or gone anywhere we couldn’t drive to but she seems no worse for wear. [/quote]
