![]() There are parents who chose not to send their children back in-person I respect that, as I support their choice to do what’s best for their child(ren). So, now that the kids are back in school, do you look for a job, knowing that school may shut down again at a moment’s notice? Or make your kids stay home because they had a sniffle or fever (but not COVID)? Do you investigate summer camps, day care, and vacations, or plan to spend another summer with the people you quarantined with for 2020? Do you give them the vaccine? Do you get it yourself? Or, you had to work AND school from home and something had to give. Or you couldn’t find childcare (because most of those shut down too or increased their rates from unaffordable to exorbitant). All while working from home, or in some cases not working.Īnd, if you’re not working, it’s probably because you were laid-off due to the shutdowns. Now, there’s temps to take, a daily form to complete (one per child), make sure there’s a mask (or two) packed, snacks and meals in disposable containers, water bottle, and the changes in schedule, again. Was the stomachache because they were stressed or were they really sick? Was that runny nose and sneezing because of allergies? Did they really turn in that assignment? Or what classes they’d miss for the dentist/doctor/ortho appointment. Previously, you just worried every morning about what to pack for snacks, or lunch. Masks, variant strains, vaccines, re-infections, attestation forms, temperature taking, daily infection counts, testing, changing CDC and WHO information. There’s also a bit of walking on eggshells as we all attempt to move back into whatever our lives were like pre-pandemic. And some days, I fear we’ll never get back to whatever we took for granted as normal back in March 2020. We’ll never get back the last 9+ months of remote or partial remote schooling. ![]() It’s exhausting typing all of that I don’t have to explain why.
