I'm getting more and more upset with lockdown I'm not in the UK and according to the law DS has not been permitted outside since March. That's more than a quarter of his life. We smuggled him outside to sit on some grass when it was quiet and he got overwhelmed and cried. The next time he's legally allowed out will be for vaccination. I'm terrified he will be scared to go outside.
Family back in the UK are starting to get sick from missing routine appointments and others are having panic attacks.
The stupid thing is, for me at least, this is the safest I've been in years. Last year I was pregnant and had a difficult birth. Your standard difficult birth but would have been fatal without medical care. Perhaps we should ban having kids because it's too risky. The year before that I was in Asia, in the back of tuc-tucs on roads with crazy drivers and having fun scuba diving. As with having a baby, I made a choice to take that risk because it was right for me. Not everyone could, should or would but why should it be banned for all. But the dementors seem to love an 'all holidays should be banned for ever more' thread too.
