She told me that my son's mental health didn't matter and that I need to wear a face mask every time I got out. I don't use a mask but I take other precautions. I don't touch anything I don't plan to purchase, and I sanitize the cart before I put him in it, and when I put it back. I make sure I stay at least 6 feet away from other people at all times. I do my best to make sure everyone is safe and if we have something we don't pass it on to others. She basically told me to deal with it and wear the mask because my son would "Get over it". I was so mad. I snapped at her. I told her she needed to grow up and realize that not everyone is going to do what she thinks we need to do.
I believe physical health is important but so is mental health. I'm trying to get him used to the masks by playing around with some that I made and having fun but he wants nothing to do with them at all. He won't touch them. He's almost 3 years old and he just doesn't understand. I told her that if that's how she felt that I needed to decide if she's someone I want around my son at all. She got mad and started cussing at me. She has since removed the post so nobody else can comment on it.
I believe there is a way to keep others safe while not scaring my child half to death. She doesn't agree with me but whatever. We don't leave the house often and I take precautions to keep us and others safe.
That's it. More drama. Rant over.
~hops off soapbox~ I feel better.
