It's always the same. People judge the parents that do the opposite to them. Why??? I literally understand some people work. Some don't. I don't judge either party. You do what's best for your family.
Theres a full time working mum on my Facebook. One son aged 6. She was told she couldn't have children due to polycystic ovaries. But she fell naturally. She went back to work full time when he was 9 months. I remember at the time she wrote a big headed status about how she was teaching her son you work for what you want. She may aswel had said....sahm are lazy and not setting an example.
Anyway I wrote a status asking parents what they were doing about the sending kids back June 1st. I had 8-9 people say don't do it. Or I'm not not sending mine. Others said there's no point as the curriculum isn't being met. I chatted backwards and forwards with my concerns about the huge changes at my child's school. I felt it would be confusing. Many agreed or voiced back their worries.
Then this working mum wrote how I needed to just not worry my kid and send her. She said her son was having loads of one on one time and he was doing amazing. She works at an insurance company so her jobs not keyworker like that.
I took her point on and I appreciate the kids in school won't be miserable. Ofcourse they are having fun etc.
My newsfeed has been full all week of parents saying they won't send theirs back at this stage. Many are concerned in ore schools and reception about the new social distancing rules.
This afternoon working mum has wrote a ranty status about mass hysteria about sending children back. Said how her amazing son is the only child in his year at school and he's playing with other years and having fun. She continued to say it has not affected his Mental health and she's offended that others are suggesting that it could cause issues.
But why is she offended that others don't want to send their kids? It's our choice. It's good to discuss your reasons.
The thing is her situation is much better than ours. In half term her son's at different households everyday being looked after. Some of us sahm don't have tons of childcare options for free.
One thing I hate is sahm being called lazy etc.
We are living in a pandemic and there is no rush to send our kids back until we know it's safe. It makes sense for workers to use the service. But half of my daughter's class has said no. Infact 8 have said no and that's all I've asked. So it's a common answer where I am.
I respect the parents who have no choice. But I expect them to respect ours!
