[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Ugh. I'm sorry to see this. He's a little kid and I don't think anyone would say anything. Also, if you're wearing a mask - it would appear that you'd have a good reason for your child not to be wearing one. No 'normal' parent would mask themselves and not their child. I would just assume he won't/can't wear one.

I agree with PP's that you do need a break, though. If you can find safe and reliable childcare. [/quote]

Child care would be great, but not really in the cards for us. All we could really do would be hiring a neighborhood kid, and I figure that's substantially more dangerous than just bringing the kid along. PRe-COVID we had friends that would have helped in situations like these, but they're all on lockdown now.

We really have been trying to work with the therapists for months to get him to wear a mask. No luck. We can't even get him to wear a hat when it's cold.[/quote]

If you have a partner at home, I’d do the errands on the weekends/evenings and leave kid with them (or have partner go). Or just pay a little extra for grocery delivery, or hire someone to do your errands. [/quote]

Yeah, all these “we” references suggest you have a partner. Do not bring your kid on errands with or without a mask but especially without. If you are not a single parent, there is NO reason to do this right now. [/quote]
