[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][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]

But he’s not you and is not where you are.  [/quote]
He has no right to unilaterally force his paranoia on the family.[/quote]

He’s not.  OP can do as she pleases.  I’m assuming he isn’t barring her from the home when she comes back fro seeing the world. [/quote]
She wants to to take their kid out and have company. It’s hard to do as she pleases in this regard unless she ignored his feelings, which isn’t good for marriage. They need to compromise.[/quote]

She can have company from what I understand and she was complaining about her DH not taking her, the adult mother, out.  [/quote]

From the OP:  Am I being too lenient with wanting to take child out or having others come visit? What can I do? I have pandemic fatigue and kind of regret having a child because of him. I cant go on living like this.

Bring in an intermediary.  Ask for a consultation with your pediatrician to help come up with some middle ground of exposure for your child.  I wouldn’t take the status quo as acceptable for moving forward, and would tell him so.  [/quote]

Dont be a bully and bring in a third party.  My spouse pressured me to take the vaccine.  I did and we all regretted it due to my reactions.  [/quote]
