[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm someone in a challenging situation with this virus.  I won't go into details, but this virus is doing terrible things to our family.

Posts about the fun things friends are doing with their kids give me ideas on how to make our situation better, and cheer me up.

Posts that say "I'm so happy this is happening because I get to stay home" or "I think when this is done we'll all be better people.  Isn't it wonderful?"  I find tone deaf.

Similarly, saying "My 2 year old is driving me nuts, suggestions?"  is fine.  Saying "The worst thing ever is when . . . " and posting something that is a million years from the worst thing ever is tone deaf.[/quote]

I'm in the same situation (I'm sorry, PP), and I agree with this summation.

Did any of you see the thread about influencers on DCUM a week or so ago? There was this crazy Texas mom who looked like Walmart's cheap decorations department had vomited all over her house. She has a full-size Easter tree. I feel like some of the "joy!" and "blessings!" posters are that lady, and I have this vision of them happily rummaging through their Valentine's Day decorations for things they can reuse for COVID-19 vision boards and Pinterest posts. I think they don't realize how they come across.[/quote]
