[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am more concerned that you have already taught your child to be judgmental and have anxiety over covid. [/quote]

I’ve actually thought a fair amount about this. This is OP. I am very judgmental about COVID. I will own that. I think it’s justified judgment. I judge you and I don’t mind judging you. But I don’t want my child to feel how angry I am because I don’t think that’s healthy for her. I actually think her response shows that she’s not feeling judgmental or anxious. She thinks those people don’t know about the germ. We ate inside restaurants and didn’t wear masks too when we didn’t know. But now we know, so we get take out and wear masks. Her response is judgment and anxiety free, which is lovely in the way that 3 year olds are. But I will judge you![/quote]

You're the one walking away feeling bitter. [b]They are enjoying themselves and could not care less about your judgment[/b]. [/quote]
I think that’s what drives people like PP crazy. They’re so angry and judgmental, but they have no power. [b]No one cares about their opinion[/b]. All they can do is come onto a site like this and cluck their tongues.

As a wise man once said: “You want it to be one way. But it’s the other way.”[/quote]

The people out didn't give this crazy a second thought.  Yet, she's stewing about it days later.  You live a sad, angry life.  Good luck to your daughter.  [/quote]

Agreed. The people out there who don’t care just aren’t worth bothering with at this point.  We!re what, 9 months in?  Just focus on yourself and your family before you have a breakdown over things you can’t control.  Nothing I say would change my SIL’s mind from going to church or restaurants.  On the other side, I know people who are just so incredibly bitter that they’ve given up everything and are exclusively home while others still go to work, stores, use childcare, etc.  We have a neighbor who is constantly watching out his window and posting on the neighborhood listserv whenever he sees an unmasked person walking by (while simultaneously having a child at an out of state college! go figure).[/quote]
