[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I was a hermit. The older toddler changed her clothes and took a bath immediately back from school. When she got sick I was fortunate to have help to separate both the children. It sucks to isolate during holiday season but it is what it is. The baby won’t be a baby for long, time flies. But worrying about the baby during cold rsv and flu season is why I will never have another child. [/quote]

I think the above is a little extreme, but everyone is different. Last year my DC2 was 2 months at Thanksgiving and 3 months at Xmas. We tested for COVID weekly and my DC1 wore a mask at preschool and inside. I didn't bring the kids to the grocery store and we didn't go to Xmas parties. I didn't get COVID while I was pregnant with DC2 and my family didn't get COVID until the summer when DC2 was 8 months and DC1 was 3. I'm pregnant with DC3 right now and my DC1 is going to school unmasked and my younger one is playing with kids unmasked. We are going to cut back on going to indoor places without masks, but there is only so much that you can do if you have older children and you want them to stay in classes and have a social life.

IMO the most annoying people are like my SIL who went to Disney with her toddler while 32 weeks into a high risk pregnancy, sent her child to preschool unmasked throughout her pregnancy, and then made everyone test for COVID three times a day at Thanksgiving and Xmas and acted like she was the head of the NIH.
