Tell me you don’t have kids without telling me you don’t have kids.
Also her handle screams single woman who does nothing all week but look forward to boozy brunch to wash away her overwhelming despair at her own loneliness.
Folks seem shocked I might punch back. But this is the profile of all the folks tweeting me. Hateful, childless women consumed by their own hatred of children and their own lives. They’re taking out all of their own issues on kids. And I’m done with it.
You don’t have kids and don’t know anything about them. That’s your problem, not mine.
People have decided masking is their faith (find Jesus) and think they know what the nature of children is because they babysat in high school.
I have had a singular focus on this site for the last year and a half: advocating for children. Because there are millions of people in this country who do not care about them and in fact actively despise them.

If I had a dollar for everyone who has ever threatened to call cps on me 😂
“Well, I’d like to report that there’s a woman and her kid wore a mask. The mask was worn at camp. It was gross at the end of the day. Um, no I don’t know the child’s name. No, nor do I know where it lives. No, I don’t know what it looks like either.”
It sadly shows how disconnected from reality they are on more than just how kids are messy. They have no idea what CPS deals with every day. A social worker getting that call after she met with a parent who put their cigarette out on their kid’s arm would laugh or go ballistic.

Can we get rational healthcare reporters? It may help the constant hysteria.
If you wonder why COVID reporting has always been so … colorful, this is why. People with deep neurosis and hypochondria are the ones doing the healthcare reporting.
This is exactly right. Do I love the delta situation as the mother of a newborn? Not particularly. We all need friends (thanks @kgcarney) who we can call who can talk us down from irrational ledges with data and facts.

With all of my free time I’d like to start a consulting company for parents suddenly realizing their kids schools aren’t reopening and their only chance at an education will happen at home or if they’re lucky at a private school if they’re allowed to open foxnews.com/media/randi-we…
For now I’ll recommend a couple of books for you. We follow the Charlotte Mason philosophy and this is a quick read that delves into it a bit amzn.to/2Wro4CK
We’ve lost touch with the natural world and getting back into it is vital for kids and parents alike. amzn.to/3fcbTQL

This week I chatted with a grandma of a four year old with special needs who is required to wear a mask all day at school. He comes home miserable with a mask soaking wet. Despite the fact that it’s developmentally inappropriate and epidemiologically unnecessary, he must wear it.
The WHO standard is that children under six should never be forced to wear a mask, and that nuance should be used in deciding if it’s necessary for children between the ages of 6-11. And yet, the CDC recommendations requiring children aged two and up to be in them in public.
There is no science behind this recommendation. As the parent of young kids, this is an infuriating time. The CDC are promoting anti-science requirements thrust upon my kids, requirements that do real harm and achieve no positive result. They are powerful unelected bureaucrats.

Here’s the theme of my Twitter feed today: our responses to this pandemic have seriously harmed children. There is no scientific need for what we’ve done but nobody will do anything because kids don’t matter. Adult inertia is damaging children.
Children thrown into crisis because of our actions don’t matter.

Can we have a conversation about why America is alone in requiring young children to wear masks? Nowhere else in the world does. The @CDCgov guidelines are wildly different than the WHO, which the rest of the word follow.
I have been in communication with various Congressional offices about this and I’d like to talk to more. I have a mountain of data and anecdotes I’d like to share with staff who will listen. Hill people: Please DM me.
These kinds of stories are enraging. outkick.com/spirit-mask-au…
