This is abuse. Why can’t your child go for a stroller walk...somewhere?

I think it's a bit much but describing it as abuse is excessive.

People really need to stop overusing the word "abuse" . This is not abuse. But I agree with PP - you need to take your child out for a walk.

PP here and I stand by my words. Isolating your toddler from all of humanity because of a pandemic. Meh. But withholding exposure to all of creation? Abuse.

Put them in the car, buckle up, and drive through a botanical garden or to the shore or something. Geez!

The problem to me is no going to the doctor.

Right! I’m surprised the pediatrician hasn’t turned her into CPS.

We didn’t take our youngest anywhere until he turned two and wore a mask. He started masking at 18 months. I don’t feel like it’s safe for kids to not be masked.

Omg! Take the baby on walks and to the park!

Seriously, this is debilitating anxiety, not appropriate covid precautions.

14 months, hasn’t been inside a public place since covid started. There’s just no reason - he wouldn’t get anything out of it. When one of us goes the other stays home with the baby.

We’ll start taking him places when community spread drops.

I have a 9 month old. We go to the store and church weekly. None of our family of five has gotten Covid. It’s fine to live your life.

We sit in the backyard and play. We live in a high density area. I don’t feel comfortable with the number of people out. And really, abuse? That’s a stretch.

No, spouse and I take turns going to the store. I try to avoid indoor stuff with him and I have found people at the store aren't great about actually keeping distance. I had a lady physically run into me while I was grabbing something off a high shelf, she was on her phone and just not looking.

Have they been in the grocery store? DD is 10 months. DH and I are vaccinated - hi from work and me bc I gave birth at Sibley which is part of Johns Hopkins and they reached out to me bc I had GD (even though I am height-weight proportional).

Now that the weather is getting nice I like to take the baby to the park but have so far held off taking her into stores. I am curious what others are doing?
