[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Ah, I always love it when OPs post controversial subjects, and end the thread doing exactly what they were going to do anyway, but then tying it with a neat red bow. [/quote]

yup. congratulations to you, OP, for standing your ground and engaging in increased risk activities during the worst point of the worst pandemic in US history.

[/quote]

This one feels worse than usual because OP is trying to use the kid's disability to cover being a selfish asshole. [/quote]

Right? And weirdly coming to the non-SN board specifically to be able to engage in this pyschodrama.  Must be disappointed that nobody took the bait and blamed it on his child's autism.

Conversely, if he had come to the SN board and said "I have to go to the bank in person for a sensitive matter and have no other option but have to bring my child" he would have gotten plenty of support.  [/quote]

Again, I wasn't looking for support. You're right that if I was looking for support or validation I would have posted in the SN forum.

Instead I was looking for ideas of things that would make the hysterical DCUM crowd more comfortable. I got a few ideas (stroller, rain cover, time of day), but perhaps the main takeaway is that there's no accommodating the crazies.  Though most of those posters probably just stay home anyway, making them mostly a non-issue.[/quote]

“The crazies” and then insults about people who are actually following the public health guidelines?

This from someone with an SN child? One would think you’d be a little more sensitive about language and labelling.

I don’t know what you’re trying to accomplish, OP, but you’re not helping the SN a community or the community at large. I’d call troll, but I want people to see how the truth usually comes out.[/quote]

Public health guidelines include exceptions for children that cannot wear masks for medical or developmental reasons.  Almost everyone understands that except the the DCUM community and MoCo.[/quote]

I live in outer MoCo and there are unfortunately plenty of redneck no Maskers here (think, area where the neighbor was stealing the BLM banners.)  I don't say anything, because I don't want to get into a fight.

I wouldn't say anything to a parent with an unmasked child. But I do think OP could figure a way not to take the kid to the grocery store. Bank, maybe not so much, as their hours are constrained.

But if you have a partner / dh you live with, who is not deployed or traveling for work, I would think they could look after their kid one night a week, or a couple hours on the weekend, while you go to the grocery store.

Olney is not "outer Moco".  And I haven't seen hardly anyone here without masks; just an occasional kid not wearing it, but oh well.  Not really a big deal. [/quote]
