[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This thread is a microcosm of society. Appreciate it when you meet kind ppl Op. It doesn't get easier but you'll get tougher and even develop a sense of humor (I explained to one person that the only way to get mu kid to mask is to tie him up and gag him, but my pediatrician frowns upon my doing this and suggested gentler parenting methods.)[/quote]

OP here.  I pretty much reached that point by the time my kids were two. Pre-COVID it was sometimes fun to talk back to the uptight Potomac/Bethesda mom's when they'd say something about my kids. I think they were trying to be helpful in their own way, but were incredibly condescending in the process. I noticed I would get more comments than my wife. I kind of suspect they think they're trying to help the "clueless" dad, while they just whisper snarky remarks to friends about my wife. We don't really care- we would rarely run into these people a second time.

But between working, COVID, and all the therapy visits, I just don't the energy to engage then anymore. I just want to everything done that needs to be done and hope I can get to bed before midnight.[/quote]
