'We’re still here, we’re still screaming, but is anyone listening?' amil writes
Photo-Illustration: by The Cut; Photos by Getty There was a moment last winter when it felt like the crisis of pandemic parenting was about to hit a tipping point. COVID-19 carried the primal screams of frustrated, fatigued parents across the internet and moms were finally raising their hands and admitting, “We’re not good, bitch.”
There was a brief feeling of reprieve early this summer when the second dose hit, businesses opened up, and it felt like everyone’s shoulders relaxed, just a little bit. Patios and playdates came back and promising stats about the efficacy of the vaccines made it a little easier to feel optimistic about the months ahead.
The solace parents could take in the relatively positive outcomes for children and COVID is suddenly shrinking in the face of Delta’s surge through unvaccinated and vulnerable populations, including kids. And with parents fighting for mask mandates and mandatory vaccinations for health and education workers, the best preventative measures look increasingly unsure as schools across North America prepare to reopen for in-person learning.
When I tweeted that I was feeling this way, the response from other parents was swift. Minnesota mom Katie Dohman replied, “Quite a bit of the world has moved on and we’re still here, more worried than before with school looming.” Lindsay in Ontario is just giving up talking about it entirely. “I don’t even want to talk to anyone at this point because I have nothing to talk about other than being exhausted and depressed and no one wants to hear it anymore anyway,” she says.
