Hey all. Just as a disclaimer this post is pro vaccine and masking so please be kind. I was wondering if I could get some input. My family has just informed me Im the only one they know staying home and masking and not taking my kids out right now. Apparently they feel sorry for my kids because I am imprisoning them and I am being crazy. I’m just devastated right now. I have two 3.5 year olds. They can’t get vaccinated obviously. My spouse and I are both vaccinated. I don’t push vaccines or masks on anyone ever. We just started staying home again when mask mandates were lifted and Delta variant hit. We were going out prior to that and trying to give our kids somewhat of a normal childhood as much as we can. My parents will not ever get vaccinated and are anti mask now as well. They go out all the time with zero precautions. So I said I do not feel safe spending time with them right now as things seem to have gotten worse again and they are now anti mask. We stay pretty isolated. It’s hot here so we can’t go outside much. We try but it’s just so hot. So yes, we are very isolated again :( it’s not because we want to be. Pretty much no one in my state wears masks or distances or anything anymore. My parents are making me feel like I am imprisoning my children unfairly and ruining their childhood due to my own mental health and anxiety. It’s making me feel awful. I’m just trying to keep my kids safe. Am I crazy for not having them around people right now? I mean people won’t even take basic precautions when I politely ask or suggest that taking precautions would make us feel more comfortable to visit. :( I feel like I’m living on a different timeline or planet than almost everyone else I know sometimes. via /r/Parenting https://ift.tt/3z9X0X3
