This is a horrifying article. Her kid is asymptomatic and will probably be fine like almost every other child whose gotten it. Yet she admits she's scared him senseless over it and she admits she's done it mainly because she's scared he'll get her sick.

"I've Traumatized My Child On Purpose Because I'm Selfish And Scared."
My God. Your poor child.
My God. Your poor child.
If my kids get it, I'm not going to quarantine them away from the family. I'd much rather get COVID myself than treat my own children like lepers.
My kids didn't hear the word "covid" for the first like 5 months of this thing. They know the word now but they aren't scared, they aren't paranoid, and they haven't at any point worried that they might die. That's because we are shielding them from those worries. That's our job.
This makes me so angry. What are you doing dumping all of your paranoia onto your child? He's six years old you damned maniac. He should be thinking about Batman and candy and other six year old boy priorities. Let him have his innocence. Bear your burdens yourself.
