[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Shrug. You did what you thought was best. Don't beat yourself up just because you now know you probably overdid it.

We never limited our kids' socializing. [b]It was pretty clear early on that this virus wasn't a meaningful risk to kids, so we just kept their lives as normal as possible. [/b]And we find plenty of people who were comfortable doing the same in our social circle.

We never hid this from anyone. Some people may have disapproved, but [b]I don't care[/b]. [/quote]

OP, congrats to you on looking out not only for your family but for your community. It's hard to do (I know because we were similar, though also very lucky b/c our kids did have in-person school with lots of safeguards), and it's especially hard because of people like the above PP.  There is a tendency to push back, ridicule, and dismiss those who have been extremely cautious this year.  At best, the very cautious folks are helping everyone else; at worst, they are having little effect on viral spread and making only their own lives more difficult.

Try to get your child out to the playground and enjoy some masked, outdoor playdates.  We've also found that little things--getting the kids a treat from a coffee shop, for example--are extra exciting these days.  Your child will re-acclimate and I truly believe she'll be fine.  You sound like a great mom.  [/quote]

You are not similar to OP. Our kids were also in person (private) and [b]those “safeguards” were a joke[/b], so no need to be a sanctimonious s**t. [/quote]

Wow, you sound like a lovely person, and one with limited knowledge of how this virus behaves.[/quote]
