#Playdates
Kids can have a normal childhood while being Covid-safe.

“kids safely learning, thriving, and just being kids—enjoying summer camp, having playdates with their friends, taking safer swimming lessons, visiting the local masks-required dental office” & getting an education without constant illness. 🙌
"For families maneuvering the often isolating reality of living a COVID-cautious life, especially those living with a chronic illness like Long COVID, finding an educational environment that doesn’t jeopardize a child’s or family’s health can feel impossible."

How I built a COVID-safer school that’s become the heart of a more caring community - The Sick Times
As much of the country rushed to “return to normal,” our family faced a different reality. Our oldest child has a high-risk medical condition, and local schools were rapidly abandoning public health p...

💙🧸 I know I post naughty pictures, and I absolutely love all the attention you guys give me! But one thing has always been clear: Mommy is my everything. 🥰

We’re always happy to make friends, have playdates, and maybe even welcome you into our kinky family circle someday.

THIS. Both my parents worked. Mother was an office manager, father was a biology professor who moonlighted as a cab driver & hotdog vendor. They both came home from work tired. But mother was the only one cooking, cleaning, helping with homework, and driving us to playdates. It always seemed unfair.

I feel if it's been a known issue you need to hold firm in your boundaries, if you are only a little guy you are a little guy. You can offer them playdates or regular pamp day hangs but if they won't accept that you aren't daddy you may need to leave the equation .

Aber andererseits hätte ich auch ohne Teilzeitarbeit keine Lust mehr auf Playdates und Kinderrumchauffieren gehabt. 🙈
Mir war einfach wichtig, dass auch der Mann (arbeitet 100%) mal beim krankem Kind bleiben konnte, bzw dann HO machen. Das ging. Ich kann Museumsbesucher ja nicht fernbetreuen.

Die Frage ist überhaupt nicht seltsam, aber der Familienalltag ist mit Abholen, Hobbys, Playdates, Hausaufgaben und Konferenzen nachmittags so voll. Mein Mann wäre aus alldem komplett raus. Ich müsste alldas wuppen während ich eigentlich arbeiten müsste. Wäre er im HO, könnten wir uns das teilen.

'Only one...said, “Yes. I’ll join you.” That first walk led to playdates, dinners and girl’s trips, and supporting each other through trials and loss. Ms. Combres and Ms. Miller have been close friends for more than a decade – because one stranger asked, and another answered.'

The courage of yes.
I harp on this all the time, but there is so much peer reviewed solid evidence that we benefit from small talk with strangers, knowing our neighbours, chatting with our baristas, etc.

And I believe that our shift away from that stuff is at the root of all our antisocial behaviour right now.
How to talk to a stranger and make friends
Talking to strangers is good for us, and a growing number of places have started campaigns, events and programs to kickstart those conversations

Yeah, getting actual playdates on Diaper Bois is a pain. Half the time they ghost you, and when they DO show up, it's a trainwreck 80% of the time.
