      What's the point of saying this?

      Also, acting like children are the worst things in existence is cringe.

        OP should be smarter than my sister, who took a family trip and caught covid.

          Then just say that instead of "social bonus of your kids..."

          God everyone on here talks like a redditor

            this site exists because of r/chapotraphouse, the citations needed podcast fan sub.

            the way western society is about kids is because of capitalism and christianity. if you think it's unreasonable to not privilege children and parenthood all the time you should examine why you feel that way. Judaism might be like that but rightwing christianity definitely is and I don't need to tell you about the hegemonic culture's bullshit pervading everything.

              I dunno maybe you just hate kids. Kids don't belong in every space. Family trips are a space they belong. No one is privileging them right now. You were unprompted and started hating on this person asking about some good ideas to spend time with their kid. You may even be right about the kids thing in general. Doesn't change that in this case you're still being an ass.

                about some good ideas to spend time with their kid.

                  Yeah that's not the point I had the issue with bud. Seems like your focusing on this relatively uncontroversial thing to avoid the unnecessary vitriolic comments. More so it seems to be a camping trip sooo yeah not sure how well that point stands. I'm just gonna say you should examine your disdain for kids. Nothing wrong with not liking them, but they're people too and they deserve just as much if not more accommodation as adults. Kids can't self regulate well. That's what kids do.

                  That's it, last response. Wish you well.

      the social bonus of your kids not being annoying around other people trying to relax

      Sorry, are we doing “Covid is still happening” discourse or “children are inherently inconvenient and deserve segregation from adults” discourse? Wasn’t quite clear.

        porque no los dos?

        you shouldn't expose yourselves, your kids, or anyone else to covid, and i shouldn't have to deal with kids triggering my auditory processing issues.

          I’ve got auditory processing issues too. The lack of public spaces where it’s acceptable to be obnoxiously loud is a problem. Given that you have auditory processing issues, you’ve gotta know that adults are loud as fuck too. The solution is not segregation.

          Also, if you think a rural camping trip is a severe Covid risk, I’ve got some bad news about what the schools are doing.

            We’re giving a vacation to our kids for Christmas this year and we can’t decide what to do.

            honestly if you happen to be able to swing a couple years of homeschooling that's probably called for at this point.

            The lack of public spaces where it’s acceptable to be obnoxiously loud is a problem.

            The solution is not segregation.

            this sounds precisely like a problem solved by separating explicitly "ok be loud" spaces from what should be the default "don't be obnoxious around other people" rule of existing in public.

      Honestly school is going to be the most likely vector of infection for a family with kids that age unless they go somewhere crowded.

      Only going out for work school and groceries while the rest of the world has given up and pretends covid doesn't exist anymore might be the best thing to do but I understand why people can't handle it.

      If you don't want to hang out around kids i suggest a bar or something

        those people are why we can't have nice things.
