This! We just leave ours in the car too. Easy!

I'd tell her that since the mask should never be OFF while DS is out of the house it is completely unacceptable to lose the mask. It should be on the hook by the front door or on his face. Tell her if she loses it, she has to go find it and you won't pay for that time, and if she can't find it she will have to pay to replace it.

There's no good reason to put up with shit like that.

I read through this whole thread expecting somebody to shred this poster, but nothing! Do you seriously talk to your nanny like this? I can’t imagine she’ll work for you much longer as in demand as they are right now.

To OP — you’re making work for yourself. Buy a bunch of cheap masks or disposables and don’t think about it again. It’s not worth your mental energy.

I can’t believe that she just accepts that her fully grown husband can’t seem to keep track of the masks. Why do people marry men like this?

Your germs aren't the issue.

I think so...? Lol, what are people even arguing about anymore? Can we just agree it’s shitty to litter and drop your mask on the ground?

What does this teach your child? That things that are associated with women should be avoided?

Lanyard so they stay around the neck.

This immediately contaminates them when the inside of the mask touches the outside of the clothes.

If you do it right, it falls so the outside of the mask is what touches the clothes.

There isn't a lot of evidence that the virus survives long on fabric.

FFS, do people really not understand the science behind masks? None of these cloth masks are going to prevent Covid germs from passing through and entering your nose and mouth. The cloth is porous. The only masks that do that are the N95 ones. But, wearing a cloth mask will help if YOU are the one that is sick, by preventing less droplets from exiting YOUR nose and mouth, so that YOU spread the disease to fewer people. “Contamination” is not something to worry about with these cloth masks.

Please don't be insulting, especially when you are wrong.

Masks reduce the transmission, and yes, less the chance that the exterior of your clothes is contaminated with the droplet spray that transmit the virus is reduced by other people wearing masks.
HOWEVER if you take the inside of a mask and contaminate by touching the exterior of your clothes that then have even a lower percentage of droplet spray and PUT IT BACK ON YOUR FACE, you will be contaminating yourself.
It is the same with wear a mask and pulling it down to your chin or neck, and then pulling it back up again.

Please don't be obnoxious, it does not help the conversation.

But don't be those people littering disposable masks! I hate seeing them on the ground. No one wants to have to pick up a discarded mask.

I drop mine on the ground when I leave a store. You make me wear one, you clean up.

Yeah definitely your showing everybody by acting like a petulant two-year-old.

At least I'm not caving to bad science, sweetie.

Besides, if the mask WAS contaminated, why the hell would I want it in my car? Lol. Just playing along the best I can.

This is a troll, just ignore people. No one is this stupid.

Hardly.

Yeah, you are. And you’ve just admitted to being an idiot by showing you do t understand how the science works. Masks are not to protect you, as much as they are there to protect others from you. So if your mask is contaminated, so is everything else in your car. Why wouldn’t you just throw the mask away in a trash can, they are always outside of stores.
