+1. Would do an outdoor playdate now if I knew any friends that also wanted to. [/quote]

We’ve been doing outdoor play dates with our next door neighbors. Everyone is working from home with kids at home + wearing masks to the grocery store. I don’t post about it on Facebook or anything stupid because I don’t want comments. But we are complying with the order to limit gatherings to under 10 people and I figure it’s better to do a (relatively) low risk get together to keep our social distancing endurance up rather than strict isolation and burning out. Sort of like how people always fall off of strict diets.

Also, the funny thing is friends of mine who have been really judgy (over social media or text chains) about play dates or neighbor get togethers are the ones having their local parents/in-laws over to help with the kids. Neither we, nor our next door neighbors, have any family help. So occasionally letting our kids run around together outside basically is our “help” to get a break from our really young kids.

I think everyone should be doing the best they can to comply with doing what they need to survive and not judging others unless it’s something blatantly stupid like throwing a house party.[/quote]
