I agree wholeheartedly with what you have written. I am having a VERY hard time adjusting. Nothing has changed, since March, for me regarding my fear of Covid. I have reluctantly sent my child back to school and I’m swaying towards removal and homeschooling. I so agree to “each to their own” but I’m constantly being reminded that “no one should be shielding” and “children need social interaction” 😞 my 10 yr old was diagnosed with ASD last year after, what we thought, was a terrible bout of ongoing anxiety. He has thrived in lockdown, daily meltdowns at home time ended and he was just happier being at home away from the “mean kids” that mock or ignore him. I want to continue homeschooling and I honestly don’t understand why we weren’t given the choice. It feels like it is a one size fits all mentality and there is something wrong with me for not just towing the line. Covid hasn’t gone away and my fear that my body isn’t strong enough to survive it is still the same yet I’m being made to feel that it is all in my head.

I have no issues with people going to pubs, clothes shops etc, it’s not for me though, until everyone observes social distancing, I won’t be entering these places in order to protect myself and others. Thanks for linking to #pocolo and hope to see you back here again soon

Every ease of lockdown makes people take extra risks: if it is ok for 2 households to meet then surely 3 can too?! If you can go to a public space then surely everyone can go to the beach?! #stayclassymama

There’s no point in getting cross at other people’s behaviour, it’s not going to help you at all, it’s just going to make you feel worse.
I have no inclination to go to the pub but then I think, hold on, this is someone’s livelihood so it’s good that they are able to get their businesses up and running again. Fingers crosses that the second spike never arrives. #StayClasyMama

It’s crazy isn’t it? I feel the same, I think most people do now.

I’m taking my time to face the world and been relieved that friends have been really respectful of that 🙂 However I have to admit I do find it difficult to have grace towards people who are just blatantly disregarding the rules – it feels like so many people now are just not bothering with them at all 🙁 And it feels so unfair on all those who have all this time, and especially NHS workers, people shielding etc. Maybe I just need to be a nicer person haha but I do find it tricky x #stayclassymama

We definitely need to have grace and be gentle with each other, and our personal decisions at this time. #StayClassyMama

However people choose to go on, as you say, we should proceed with grace. And it is not over. #stayclassymama
