[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Most people on this thread seem nice, but OP is so smug. Sorry I can't have a "fabulous summer" when I'm barely hanging onto my job, my husband's lost his, and I'm trying to take care of children while on constant Zoom calls.

I know. I'm letting down the team by not being "sunny" and "positive."[/quote]

I'm "smug" because I'm trying -- hard -- to find fun things to do for my kids? Making the best of things?

Point out exactly what is smug. Because I use the word fabulous? [/quote]

No you are smug because you are saying that you are going to make the best of things for your kids despite the pandemic without realizing that many people would be doing those exact same things if they didn't have to work full-time while taking care of kids, or didn't have spouses providing medical care or other essential services.  You see to not understand that other people have constraints on making their summer fabulous (no boat, no childcare, no access to a lake).  You are privileged to have these options, do not realize your privilege, seem to think that other people don't have your experiences because they don't want it enough or are scared of the pandemic, and you have started two separate threads bragging about all this.  All of that makes you smug. Got it pumpkin?[/quote]
