[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If this was that serious to you, you'd find an alternate childcare arrangement. Nanny, nanny share, family help, in-home daycare provider with looser restrictions. Stop complaining and solve the problem.   [/quote]

This comment is nonsensical. First of all, surely anyone with two brain cells to rub together realizes that not everyone has a ton of childcare options. Like if your options for childcare really are "nanny, nanny share, family help, in-home provider with looser restrictions, daycare," congratulations! You are incredibly privileged and well-resourced and life must be a lot easier for you than it is for the rest of us. Most of us have really limited childcare options. It's more like "daycare near my house or daycare near my work." Or "daycare I like and that we can barely afford, or daycare I feel not great about but that is in budget." That kind of thing.

But second, if you are fine with kids going to in-home daycares with looser restrictions, you are obviously not personally invested in masking young children as a Covid mitigation measure. A lot of people justify these masking requirements by arguing that kids are disease vectors and they have to mask to keep everyone else safe, since kids themselves don't seem to be particularly vulnerable to Covid. If you don't think this, you should support removing mask mandates for daycares and preschools, since it's apparently not a useful mitigation measure and it places a major burden on very young kids and their families.

So which is it? Are you just a tone deaf rich person or a hypocrite, or both?[/quote]

Yes I am aware of the challenge of childcare and guess what - [b]I figured it out![/b] Without expecting childcare providers to put their health at risk or expecting other kids to sit around exposed to my child. maskless all day.

As to your second point, obviously parents that are hysterical on this point are not taking covid precautions at all so I really don't care what they do with their kids. Clearly their families aren't taking precautions so have at it. [/quote]

You "figured it out" or you paid for the problem to go away? Does your child attend a daycare with a strict masking policy or not. Until you answer this question, everything else you says is suspect.

If your child doesn't mask all day, stfu as you don't get to tell others to deal with something you don't deal with.

Also, if your child doesn't mask all day, do you not care about the health and well being of the childcare workers being exposed to your child? Quelle horreur![/quote]

DP but I took a gigantic pay cut to move because of masking toddlers. Choices sometimes cost, yes. My children are worth it.

To PP’s point, there *are* options, just not the *ideal* options for you. We’re two years into the pandemic, DC and MOCO have shown their colors and at this point you’re the idiot if you think it’s going to change. [/quote]

Unless there are multiple posters here, I'm not really following your story- are you the same one that said you figured it out "Without expecting childcare providers to put their health at risk or expecting other kids to sit around exposed to my child. maskless all day."  But you moved to get away from masks?  Are teachers in your new area less at risk or something?

And no, not everyone has the luxury to change jobs and move for what should have been a temporary measure.  I'd rather stay and work to change it.[/quote]

[b]Nope, first time posting here. Trust me, it wasn’t a “luxury”, it’s been hard and the trade-offs are huge, but I still made the right decision. It sounds like you want your cake  and to eat it too, princess.

But sure, knock your socks off trying to change two years worth of policies and mindsets that are 180 degrees different than yours. In 2023 you’ll be posting the same thread, incredulous that things haven’t changed. [/quote][/b]

You probably hear this a lot, but in case you are wondering, you are awful.  Condescending, judgmental, unkind.  Go away to your utopia you have all figured out.  [/quote]

I’m not going to get into the name calling but I’m very inclined to move for my preschooler. However I have a SN older child who is doing very well at their public school thanks to a lot of work and a hard won IEP. I’m terrified to move and lose out on this progress for my older child. I am allowed to want what is best for both my kids and blithely telling people they are lazy for not moving is just not helpful.[/quote]

DP you are the one being rude and attacking people for having very valid concerns. Rot in hell.[/quote]
