I tried to wear a heavy duty mask at work but I was sweating too much. Double masking wasn't too bad. I stayed away from ppl.

At home I'm going to make in common areas and kind of stick to the office ish room. I don't think she'll wear a mask in common areas so I can only do what I can do.

I can barely get anyone to come to Francesca’s kids party and am feeling like the worst mother ever.

You are not a bad mother and Francesca is an awesome kid.

The other moms suck.

Bringing back all the memories of kid party trauma and drama. Yes, it really sucks. You are a wonderful mother, sj. I'm sorry you are having a rough time.

Summer birthdays are the worst. Everyone is always either on vacation or has other plans. We’re going to have so much leftover cake and pizza.

Timelies all!

I'm sorry you're having trouble getting people to reply, sj.

I have to keep telling myself that I only have control over myself. And that I should realize that M's mom is not going to stay isolated and won't really wear a mask when she's in other parts of the house and that she will, of course, still keep wandering into the kitchen to do the dishes, or stand in the hall and ask me a bunch of questions.

I’m sorry, askye. I would still mask in common areas and just walk away from her if she tries to speak to you.

I am ready to start handing out invites to ltc’s party to random kids on the street.

Yes, my son Bobby's birthday is today. I remember the summer birthday issue well. I'm sorry.

I wish i had an answer for you sj and the party problem.

My birthday is in June but pretty close to when school gets out so I don't think it was too much of a problem because of that. Or people were less busy I don't know.

The year my brother and cousin who was living with us got chicken pox and mom canceled my birthday party then everyone wanted their kids to come and get exposed.
