Giving our children (who covid poses almost zero risk to) a normal upbringing has to become a top objective moving forward
the damage that we are voluntarily inflicting on the children is mind boggling.
my grandson had his 4th grade year abruptly cut short. his 5th grade year completely upside down. now they are preparing the parents for an upside down 6th grade year. the teachers unions are the biggest villian, of all the villians, of the last 18 months.
my grandson had his first year squirt hockey season abruptly cut short. his second year squirt hockey season completely upside down. now they preparing the parents for an upside down first year peewee season.
my grandson had no spring soccer season in 2020. fall soccer season 2020 he had to wear a mask to play soccer outdoors. spring 2021 season they had to wear a mask to play soccer outdoors. who knows what the fall 2021 season brings.
the damage that we are voluntarily inflicting on the children is mind boggling.
I truly hope at your grandson is able to put these atrocities behind him, and go on to lead a healthy, happy life.
You beat me to it!
My mother got fucked over by the second world war. She went on to live a mostly happy 70+ years after the war.
Let's all hope MICH'S Grandson is going to be ok - because he had to wear a mask and his hockey and soccer seasons were cut short.
Hey MICH, if you need/want to feel better about things why don't you and your grandson come visit me in Chicago and let me take you to Lurie Children's Hospital and introduce you to the kids who are cancer victims - before they die.
Then after that, perhaps we can stop by Shirley Ryan rehab center and I can introduce you to the kids who have had severe illnesses and massive injuries and are missing limbs.
When we are done there we can go to the mental health center and sit in on a support meeting with those who lost their children (their kids died).
In other words, while the last year and half sucked and I can be (and am) somewhat sympathetic, obviously it could have been much worse.
