wineallthetime I'm glad the kids surprised you and took it well. I would guess first nights in the houses without the other parent, things will really set in and questions will be asked. Now go enjoy a glass of wine (or 5), you deserve it!

wineallthetime, lolz. I'm laughing. Kids are so funny. Next wedding? As others mentioned there will be tough times off and on as it sets it, but definitely enjoy it now. In the end it will be worth it and luckily the kids are young so before long this will be their norm. Enjoy your first night.

klong11 *screams into the void* Sweet baby jesus. I'm nodding at all you said. I wish/hope C's school will get with it on the mask front. I'm grateful the girls' school will require masks and really feel for the parents and kids that won't go to schools with safe COVID management. What a shitshow. We just need to get these kids vaccinated because relying on the adults in the US to act like adults is apparently too much to ask.

chrisy01 wahoo for your workplace requiring it! Hopefully some of the dumbasses that leave will lead to a job opening for you that you love. More workplaces need to do this including the federal government. I know it's just a matter of time before the military requires it. They've been so irresponsible currently with deploying numbnuts who aren't vaxxed and spreading their ish. So many douche canoes are going to be shook when it happens but it's inevitable.

The positions I want they are not backfilling right now. The work just comes to me anyway

wineallthetime just catching up on the last half of the day and I’m so glad it went the way it did. As others have said, I’m sure there will be tough times ahead but I’m sure the fact that you 2 were United in telling them helped tremendously. I echo what everyone else said - please reach out anytime. You are so strong. We are all here for you

Came to say this lol. Kids reactions are always off. You've said before that he's a great dad, and we know you're a great mom. The situation sucks but you guys are putting the kids first and that's the best thing you can do.

klong11 I'm so angry you are in this situation. Do you think c will wear a mask even if other kids aren't? I agree they need to be back in school, but I'm second guessing sending j back as well, but we have a different situation with almost 80% vaxxed and masks required.

Luckily the school is taking this all very seriously. They can't make anyone wear a mask, but have strongly suggested it to all parents. Cadence is really good about wearing her mask and will have no problem and I'll let her teacher know I want her in it at all times. The desks are spaced apart, Plexi glass is in place and HEPA air purifiers are now in every room. They may do breakfast and lunch in the classroom, not sure. No parents are allowed inside, and there is an app to temp check every morning at drop off that you show staff before the child gets out of the car.

I'm relieved to hear...ours seems to only be doing masking and no guidance on other precautions or what happens if there is a positive case.

Oh oh AND all but 1 of the partners is currently at an indoor wedding reception with 150 freaking people! If I judge the guests by those I know, Imma go ahead and say no masks will be worn at all. Really hoping it doesn't become a super spreader. 😷 Get your Hazmat suit ready for next week in the office. Godspeed.

I thought it already happened? The day Biden put the mandate for federal buildings, MH got a notification that DOD requires it on base. His coworkers were not thrilled- he laughed at their group text reactions. MH doesn’t care and knows it’s for the best.

There are some very naive people who don't get it that the military absolutely can (and eventually will) require the vaccine.
