In light of the recent school changes with the Omicron mutation I have compiled a list of questions from concerned parents. Please submit your questions below.<\/em> Maybe our school board (bored?) team will read and answer them. <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIf I\u2019m fully vaccinated and boosted, will my newborn receive any immunity to Omicron while breastfeeding, and will she be able to meet her grandparents before she turns five?\u201d\u00a0
\u2014 Sarah, new mother<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWhen I take my kids to the indoor Playground and there is a sign next to an empty hand sanitiser that says,\u00a0LEAVE THE\u00a0GERMS\u00a0OUTSIDE<\/small>, but fifty people are gathering indoors without masks, should I laugh or cry? Or do they mean to leave the kids outside?\u201d
\u2014 Christian, father of three<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIf an unmasked person does not adhere to two meters of distance in the supermarket near my unvaccinated children, do I invite them home to spend time alone with my kids for the approximate one million hours that exist between 7:00 a.m. and 7:00 p.m.?\u201d\u00a0
\u2014 Kirsten, mother of three children under five<\/em>
.
\u201cWhen I am at the drugstore with my infant and a masked costumer ridicules me for not maintaining distance while fake-coughing in my direction, can I punch her in the face or would that put me at risk for Omicron?\u201d\u00a0\u00a0
\u2014 Claudia, first-time mom<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIf my unvaccinated child has to attend preschool so I can work to pay for said preschool and to add to the crippling debt of my never-ending student loans, when will the Equal Rights Amendment be ratified by all fifty states in America?\u201d
\u2014 Johanna, mother of two<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWith Omicron being the most contagious variant yet and my baby too young to wear a mask for supermarket trips, should I splurge on online delivery services for groceries or begin hunting wild game in my backyard and building a complicated gutter system to capture rainwater?\u201d\u00a0
\u2014 Cal, first-time dad<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIf my kids go to a school where everyone will be send home if a sister of a student who is not even in the school tested positive five days ago but wasn\u2019t even in school for the last ten weeks and we are forced to stay at home quarantined in eighteen-degree rainy weather, is drinking alone still a red flag for alcoholism?\u201d\u00a0
\u2014 Klara, mother of four<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cSince we\u2019ve been quarantining to protect our child for nearly two years while anti-vax, anti-mask people populate our playground, is there a God and does she believe in chaos theory?\u201d\u00a0
\u2014 Kayla, mother of two<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIf I keep my unvaccinated children home from school to protect them from the latest\u00a0COVID\u00a0surge, who will be more developmentally delayed\u2014the twins because they missed preschool or me because I had to leave my career at forty?\u201d\u00a0
\u2014 Ellen, mother of twins<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWhy does God hate me? Is it something I did? Did I have too many sexual thoughts as a teen? Is this because I bent that car\u2019s fender while pulling out of the parking garage and didn\u2019t leave a note on the other car\u2019s windshield?\u201d\u00a0
\u2014 Daniela, parent of an eight-year-old<\/em> <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cDay after day, I dream of driving my head through a wall and watching the small pieces of plaster and dust gather at my feet while the pain slowly builds in my forehead and spreads behind my eyes. Is this an Omicron thing?\u201d\u00a0
\u2014 Roman, father of four<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAs a high-risk pregnancy, I\u2019m concerned about contracting Omicron. With no support for parents navigating the unassailable reality of raising children during a pandemic while struggling to afford childcare, nannies, groceries, I\u2019m just wondering\u2026 will people give a shit about my children once they are born or do people only care about them while they are still in the womb?\u201d\u00a0
\u2014 Julie, expectant mother<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n
