[quote=Anonymous][quote] Plenty of people from middle and higher income levels sacrificed almost all social interaction, family gatherings, travel, and visits with grandparents because they thought that doing so was in the best interest of the community and would lead to schools reopening for in-person learning. They thought they were doing the right thing, but the isolation and continuous messaging that their concerns didn't matter left these parents depleted and less able to foster a positive environment for their kids' learning. There's no shame in that, but it is shameful to suggest that kids who are struggling now come from households where their parents were checked out.[/quote]

I always feel bad for people who did this. I assume they lack common sense and are okay letting their extreme idealism work against their self-interest.

We initially bubbled up with both sets of grandparents and nanny, spent a lot of time outside, started seeing other friends and family once summer hit. Our kids were barely affected. Because we kept mental health as the main priority.[/quote]
