Vent away! It’s tough times we live in. It’s definitely not a one size fits all here and your kids and their situations are why. I’m glad I asked. You have your hands full and then some at home and I understand your perspective.
Hopefully the work situation turns for you as well. I’m thankful to work at a company that has squashed any of the political aspects of it and has focused solely on the public health part of it. Doesn’t mean everyone is happy, because we’ve also implemented some strict guidelines, but they’ve been open and transparent from the get go. If only everyone were given that. Fortunately, it’s also an employee’s market, so hopefully you can find a place that values you. It’s not worth being miserable from 9-5 lol.
Thanks for the civil conversation; much appreciated.
How have masks affected your kids?!?!?! Cmon man, it’s not healthy for their development
Much simpler than writing a paragraph celebrating Joe tremendous accomplishments and congratulating him for a job well done (🙌,💪)
And as follow up as we just went back to masking in school. My son didn't even make it through first period before he had an anxiety attack over the mask. The school is working with him to get him breaks from wearing it. The principal on the phone with us and him in the room admitted they suck, he's not for them and he hates them, but we all still have to follow the rules.
Yes, all of this stuff really has a strong negative effect on kids.
And now my son is blowing up my IM. Oh the joy of this repeated stupidity of worthless policies.
And now he's been sent him because surprise, surprise, a kid with Asperger's had trouble adapting to a sudden change in his routine.
Sorry your son is having trouble adapting back to it. Hopefully a good compromise can be figured out for him.
Doubtful with idiots like you around. The compromise is no masks for any children, but you are still afraid and think masking kids is helpful. The virus is so harmless to children the flu killed more over the same period and no one even gets tested for the flu anymore.
This idiot was having a civil conversation and trying to understand someone else’s situation. Fukk off.
Yes, but hopefully I can provide enough first hand account to make people on that side actually realize that yes, this stuff does have an adverse effect on kids. Some kids handle it better than others, but the ones that struggle with handling it, it's bad. And it's not because of parents. My wife gave him several pep talks to try and help, the school tried to give him a pep talk and encourage him to get through, he just couldn't handle it. So you can't say we are encouraging him to rebel against the order and use that as an excuse.
You have to excuse some, this is a really stressful situation for people involved in it. I've had to fight off a few anxiety attacks myself and our new school board president just got a really colorful email from me. He in the past has always been on our side and usually responds to my emails, but now that he's the president and has the full bulls eye on his back, be interesting if he actually responds.
I truly feel for you here. My response was strictly to Hausta because it was entirely unprovoked and unnecessary, so please know I wasn’t talking to you.
I really hope a quick solution can be found here for your son (and your family)
Yes, just saying for some it is a very frustrating issue and we are at our wits end. I assume he's in that boat.
I know I have my moments and our school board president was on the receiving end of it. To his credit he was quick to respond and was sympathetic to my issues. Noted his stance against the current policies remain unchanged but they were voted in. So he's kind of dealing with it the same way we are with our kids, the rules are what they are until we can get them changed. But with all of this I keep thinking about Einstein's definition of insanity and man did he hit that nail square on the head with it as that is what we are literally doing.
Your posting history made it necessary. You ARE an idiot and attack other posters with regularity, especially in regards to COVID which time has shown your stance has almost always been the wrong one.
Just take the L, kids shouldn't be masked. No need to "get Indy's side". His is the right one which has been obvious for most of the pandemic, the masks are more harmful to children than the virus.
Purduefan1 is very emotional, very typical of lefties and libs. He cries about putting his mom in a memory care facility and then expects everyone to feel sorry for him.
