[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My ILs are freaked. out. By covid. Which, fine, I mean I have been taking it very seriously as well and have been super strict about it with our three year old, and my husband is on board. Now that [b]we’re in week eight[/b], though, we’re “opening up” a bit. We just started letting our son ride bikes on the street when the other kids are out, and we’re considering going hiking w my parents next weekend.

My ILd got wind of this and I just got a total freak out from my MIL about how we’re not taking the long view and we have to stay in the house until we all get at home testing or a vaccine. I mean, that’s not going to happen. School will be open before a vaccine, to begin with. And I just foresee this continuing as we let our son go back to school/camp this summer or the fall, we start going into the office, and other openings. They only get news sources from the scariest places and the constant phone calls is going to drive me up a wall.

I am also getting really resentful because we have this small kid at home and covid cost me my job. Meanwhile they sit in a giant townhouse in kalarama clutching their pearls about how we let our son outside. They have no real clue the impact of this, AND we’re still being so conservative!

I guess this is partially a rant but I just need to sort out how to handle their end times freak outs as we continue to make tiny decisions about covid as the months ago on. Do you have major differences w your family over this? And how are you dealing?[/quote]

We're in week seven.  Stop being so dramatic.[/quote]
