Any parents who are still on the safe side with Covid? We have a 1 year old and being safe and staying mostly home is really getting to me. Most of our friends have kids who are able to mask up or are vaccinated and it’s getting quite isolating. Especially now mask mandates are being lifted feeling like we can’t go anywhere without risking our kid.

It's a constant debate for us, wanting to see people but at the same time not wanting to risk anything. As such, our circle is very small. Totally feel you on the isolation. I'm hoping warmer spring weather coming soon will give us more confidence in socializing.

We feel this is taking advantage of tenants during this time and may not be legal. Any advice helps!
