Parents that mask your kids: I don’t know how you do it. I shouldn’t judge anyone but those are your children’s faces. They are scared behind a mask. It’s not fun or a game to them. They say they are okay because you tell them to do it and they’ll be okay. They aren’t. 1/2
My wife gave birth to my two girls and I remember the second they both arrived. How in the world do you put other’s perceptions of you before the well being of your own kids. You know it’s not about them getting sick. You do it because you are chicken shit. Social reasons. 2/3
I love my kids more than anything and they don’t want to nor would I ever make them, mask. Not for you, not for anything. They are my kids and they get my protection 24/7. That’s includes their mental and physical well being. My wife doesn’t deserve to see her kids masked. 3/n
5/n - imagine what your kids who look to you to be their hero think of you. What message are you sending them? To give into fear? That others irrational fear trump their own well being? Stop giving in to societal pressures. Be a hero to your own kids. Give them comfort.
6/n - that is now my life. I am determined to provide my girls the same NORMAL and great American childhood that I was blessed to have. They deserve nothing less. They are my life. Make your children your life; stop using them so you can skate by. Be a dad. Set them at ease.
7/7 - be a leader. Show them they are valued. They are different. They matter more than the irrational desires of others. My girls love me for being their dad and putting their needs first. And that’s all I’ll ever need to keep being a man and their dad. #kidsfirst
