[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, I wouldn't judge you nor your kid. Run your errands as safely as possible, live your life. Not everyone has a spouse or reliable childcare. It's life.

I do think you should work with him to learn to wear a mask. It's a process but so is everything with kids.

If people want to harass you, they should redirect their ire to the ADULTS who aren't wearing masks. Twice I have seen two different people remove their mask to try a grape in a grocery store. Wtf? (Once at Wegmans, once at Target.) Have also seen people pull down their masks to talk on the phone. You're not the king of the world, your call isn't that important. [/quote]

OP here. I did my quick trip to the bank. It was a non-issue. Everyone seemed very friendly and understanding- both the staff and other customers alike. I certainly know intellectually that opinions on DCUM don't reflect reality, but I sometimes forget just how extreme the reactions are on this website.

It wasn't ideal. I initially tried to just go up to the drive-through window, but they made me come in. That's what they said would happened when I called ahead, but I still thought there was a chance it would work. I held a mask up to his face while I was waiting in line, but had to just put him on the floor when it was my turn. My biggest fear, truth be told, was that he'd run away from me in the branch, but I was able to basically pin him against the table. He wasn't a fan, but it was a quick visit.[/quote]
