[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why are you all surprised that we’re not going back this year as you let your kids have sleepovers, do carpools, party with your friends, etc? We have been extremely cautious since this started. So many of the complainers are parents who just can’t say no because their kids are bored and need social interaction. Join the club! This is a sacrifice, but it’s the right thing to do.  You don’t get to have your hair done and then complain that school isn’t open. [/quote]

Yeah, but you're wrong; its not the right thing to do.

People act like the collateral damage of quarantine is hypothetical; its not.  Its real and its damaging our children on a daily basis in ways worse than COVID ever will.

I am a parent who has permitted sleepovers and camps and sports teams, with cautions (likes masks, outdoors, distancing when possible, etc.).

Because the elderly can't be the only ones who warrant consideration.  The children deserve the same level of concern.

And I fully believe that we can protect both groups.[/quote]

Not with sleepovers. Good grief. Unless you're having masked, outdoors, distanced sleepovers.[/quote]

Meh, the risk is SUPER low with kids.  These are the same kids that have been stuck at home for the last 6 months.  I agree that its riskier than outdoor sports, but its still incredible low risk, for my family and for their families.

The kids will be just fine, and the adults in those families all fall into the low-risk category.  And the families are smart, and have been following other safety guidelines when out in the public.

The mental and emotional health benefit to the kids greatly outweighs the minimal risk[/quote]

I'm glad that you're able to justify your actions to yourself. [/quote]

Well, who else would I have to justify them to?
