[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]i don't understand everyone piling on OP.  I live in the DCurbs and life has somewhat returned to normal.  fortunately my kids are in catholic school, so there's that.  they have soccer with proper precautions.  we're going to games.  we go to the park and the kids play -- there are plenty of other families out there playing too.  we've gone to two apple/pumpkin farms and those were busy too (75% were wearing masks, as were we.)  we don't go to restaurants and we don't socialize in large groups.  i only know of two families who are still hunkering down -- one has a family member with a heart issue and the other family is a little dramatic.

OP -- I agree with an above post.  just go on with your day.  go to a farm with just you and your kids.  go do a picnic.  It sounds like you need new friends!  [/quote]

It's OP's attitude.

The "content" and "holed up" choice of words reveal that OP thinks that her friends are somehow wrong/weird because of their unwillingness to socialize with her during these times. There is no right or wrong with this pandemic. People have different levels of comfort.

If OP were just venting about missing her friends, she would receive a different response. Her post acheives  2 things: 1) venting about both her loneliness and missing her friends  and 2) looking down on her friend's choices/level of comfort. She should be more sympathetic about the latter.[/quote]
