[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Op - you don't say if you work, but you have a newborn so you are on maternity leave.  Whether or not there was a pandemic, you were going to be stuck at home.  And at least your DH is ostensibly teleworking so he can help out a bit more.  And with a newborn, you would't be going to crowded places anyway.  You would be doing...things you can do now, like neighborhood walks, etc.  I am not saying your situation is not hard.  It is.  But I think you are pretty much in a phase of life that sucks pandemic or not. [/quote]

Op here - dh is home but in the office from 7am to 8pm on calls and working. He comes out for 10 or 15 minutes at a time but that’s about it. Otherwise it’s me. [b]I typically am very out and about even with a newborn. For the first 4 weeks of the baby’s life we had already gone to the zoo, brunch, visited with friends and went on a 7 hour road trip.[/b] [/quote]

You may think this is something to be proud of, but it’s not. Nothing sadder than a baby who is dragged everywhere because the mom wants to make a big show of being “out and about”. I know people who brag that they went out to lunch or Target on their way home from the hospital. WTF![/quote]

I went out to lunch on the way home post c-section. Why are you judging?[/quote]
