My boy's and their masks.. sad

[hotstepper4]

I ordered my ds9 and my dss's10 and 7 facemasks for when it becomes a must to wear them on the bus/train.

A very kind friend of mine made them lovely masks with Avengers material and the boys love them.

However I got a lump in my throat watching them trying them on and exclaiming over them. Just seems so sad they have to bother with masks at all.

I just wish things were normal again ☹️

To your boys they are probably loving being superhero’s with their masks🦸.
It’s a rough time but kids are often very resilient and adaptable, especially when reassured things are safe and fun by adults.

True! Tbh they don't seem bothered at all. It's just all still so strange to me

Mine has sonic the hedgehog, but I get it it’s so upsetting that they even have to think about such things. But my DS did say ‘it could be worse we might have had to had gas masks and be evacuated at least we are all together.’ Guess who did WW2 before lockdown

I got plain grey made for us. So hoping we don’t need them.

I get what you mean. It's sad that the kids seem so accepting but are missing out on so much.

We put a slide in the garden for my three year old and the first thing he said was don't let the police close this slide please mummy (as all the parks are closed).

They're so good just accepting the way the world has suddenly changed but it does make me well up thinking that I wish things were normal for them 😢

"don't let the police close this slide please mummy". I'm welling up at that

"They're so good just accepting the way the world has suddenly changed"

Celebrate that.

If you find your thoughts have turned to your hopes and expectations, remind yourself that they only your thoughts, they are nothing to do with your boys. Then turn your attention elsewhere

Many Asian kids are used these even without Corona.
I wouldn't find it sad as the kids probably actually like the excitement of something new.

Yes I think that's what this is!

Ds is a happy go lucky boy and for the most part has been accepting. However he is really missing his best friend, also the park etc. He misses his cubs meetings and the arcade. He had a camping trip planned with his school and of course he can't go.

I know it's all first world problems but as mums we are programmed to want the best for our children and right now they're not getting it ☹️
