[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP I don’t want to be a jerk but - you realize your behavior is very extreme? Basically nobody is still doing what you are doing. Even the ones who were because of small kids aren’t anymore because they can get the kids vaccinated.

Think. Does it make sense to you that you are behaving so differently from everyone else? How do you justify it?[/quote]

Actually that's incorrect. I have a 18 month old and we were completely isolated until DC got a shot. Since then we have started doing outdoor activities. [b]I know other parents personally who have been the same[/b] and are slowly venturing out. Stop making her feel bad and like she is alone.
I work full time but have been able to work from home as my place or work are very cautious still about covid.
I have been taking  care of my child whilst working. Its been incredibly difficult. A close friend is doing the same. For us the struggle was worth protecting our babies over. I had a nanny for a few months but found it a real pain.
[b]Now that DC is vaccinated we will be sending DC to a daycare[/b] for 2 days a week. It's taken me a lot to get go this point. I also have a underlying condition. You can do this. Just take it slow. Be cautious. Check their policy. Don't let anyone make you feel ridiculous. Only YOU get to decide your risk tolerance. Due to the nature of my work I came across terrible covid cases and decided I didn't want that for my family. I also lost a family member ro covid and wanted to protect my child.
And for those who will comment about my child suffering absolutely not DC is ahead for DC's age, 
 spirited and a happy child. And does fine in the park around other kids.[/quote]

This is definitely unusual.  Only 5% of daycare eligible kids are even vaccinated.  You’re an outlier and your behavior is strange.  In most of the country it would have been strange in fall 2020.  It’s incredibly strange in almost fall 2022.  It’s even stranger since we now know the vaccine doesn’t prevent transmission and that almost everyone will catch covid at some point.

Unbelievable that your child has been home without a full time childcare provider while you work, and you think this is better than the child catching covid!   Your child has a miserable existence and will likely catch covid anyway. How sad.

Ha ha how funny you don't even know my child. I took care of her whilst I worked and did a pretty damn good job.

Better than my nanny did.

And funnily enough I didn't do so bad at work either.

Enjoy your afternoon.
