We Boycott Nursery! We Were Exposed....

Applaud your decision. In the US each state makes their own COVID rules, so many different levels of restrictions. Best wishes & stay safe & healthy

[@mikoko6173]

It is the same in Germany, where every federal state also makes their own Rules. Furthermore, the next Bundestag (german parlament) elections take place this year. I hope, that there will be some place for defeating covid. Stay healthy everyone.

Greetings! Thanks for welcoming us into your beautiful home. Watching Amelia’s and Teddy growing up in front of our eyes and the adventures of Phillybear, Nico and Milomute are always the best news of the day. Blessed you all and be safe! 🐼😻👶🐻🐻‍❄️

[@alexhendry2120]

Emma, as a health professional student, I cannot express enough how proud I am of the decision you guys have made. You're putting the safety of not only Mia but everyone you're in contact with first. Good luck with everything and may y'all be blessed 💕

[@MrOrcshaman]

Given what Emma was talking about, whats your personal option on them keeping nurseries open? I've got 2 nephews 8 and 10 who are now at home and I won't get to see them until things improve.

[@alexhendry2120]

@@MrOrcshaman I'm so sorry you won't be able to see your nephews, that must be really hard. I understand the logic of having nurseries open purely from the fact that a lot of people who work from home or just work can't give their children the attention they need. I'm sure there are cases where families have no other options and having the nursery available gives them the support they need. If you are able to have your child at home with you, you have a job that allows you to have flexible hours or you are just by the means in general, then definitely keep them at home but if that is not possible for you then I completely understand having to send your child to nursery. Everyone just needs to do whatever they can to prevent the virus from spreading. This does, however, look different for every single individual. Thank you for your question and I hope you get to see your nephews soon! 💕

[@susansollee1839]

I love how you and Shane think for yourselves. Yes, the little ones don’t seem to react to COVID adversely . An extremely small percent do 😶

[@SUZIJ5]

Amelia is absolutely adorable!! She is such a super smart 13 month old toddler all thanks to her wonderful parents. From the start, both Emma and Shane have always been so involved in and encouraged her advanced development, and constantly supported her with positive reinforcement. Her fur siblings definitely helped as well and she is such a lucky girl to have all that love in her life!!!! Much love to all the Matthews! ♥️👨‍👩‍👧🐈🐕🐕🐕💙

[@heathergittens3223]

I cannot believe that they would allow nurseries to be open. Babies and/or toddlers are most vulnerable. And how can little Mia isolate by herself, and her parents can go to work. Something’s wrong with that. Strange COVID-19 rules around the world. I’m glad you guys are asymptomatic and doing ok. Nice to know that your jobs were understanding.

Kudos to you & Shane following your “ mommy gut” keeping her out of nursery. Wishing you all the best health and much happiness!! As hard as this pandemic has been it’s a blessing for you & Shane to have such quality time w/ Mia during her most important developing years!! Sometimes miracles hide❤️❤️

[@sueweisberg1474]

I really hope that you stay safe and healthy. I totally agree with you Emma. I work in a childcare centre in Toronto. During the first Lockdown we were closed. We reopened with extremely strict protocols in July and have remained open even when we reentered a state of emergency at Christmas. Schools were closed until two days ago. We wear masks and shields and clean the room frequently. Our rules are stricter if someone in the house is exposed then everyone has to stay home. Two of our rooms have shut temporarily in the past because of exposure though no one else has caught it. Enjoy your lockdown quarantine time together with beautiful Amelia and her furry brothers and sister.

[@audreybrooke7985]

[@frandistabile4723]

You and Shane are such awesome parents. I am so glad you are keeping Mia home. I don't blame you one bit. If I had school age children they would not be going to school. Unlike many people here in the US, I know this is real(and very scary) and only go out to go food shopping and that is every two or three weeks. Mia is growing up to be such a beautiful, precious little girl, with the best laugh, and I think you know how we feel about the rest of your gang. Love them all especially Philly Bear. Sending many Blessing. Stay safe!

I'm going to cry! this brings back SO many memories of my little guy and our Jake (he was a malamute and he has sadly since passed) Keep healthy

[@shakenabrown667]

Mia is beyond adorable. I don't blame you for keeping her home. That's the craziest thing ever to think that nursery kids can be in school and the rest can't...🤦🏽‍♀️🤦🏽‍♀️...I'm happy you used your own discernment and kept her home. Be safe!!..🙏🏾🙏🏾💜💜

[@cbufffly]

Think you made a great decision about the nursery school! Mia is so lucky to have such informed, loving parents! When she grows up and goes off to college full of confidence and filled with great expectations for her life, you will look at each other knowing you did the right and the best things for her as a baby! She is an adorable toddler and because of her parents devotion, she will be a most adorable young woman! I used to be an Adlerian Group Family counselor while a grad student and it is so gratifying to see two parents who get it right every time! Enjoy your successes!

Thank you for being so considerate. It is rare these days to stumble over people like you.

[@angemaidment5640]

I think your decision to keep Mia at home is very responsible. If we’ve learned anything from this experience, COVID-19 can mutate and change its behaviour just like any other virus. Things in Australia have been steadily calming down, less and less community transmission, mostly it’s people who have been overseas (who are put in quarantine anyway). We have seen the UK strain, but it doesn’t seem to be a big deal (fingers crossed). Where I live there have been no cases since last year, so hopefully restrictions will continue to ease. Much love to you, Shane, Amelia and your fur babies 💜💜💜

[@bleuazurevids4450]

Good for you for taking your daughter out of Nursery school and keeping her home with you during this horrible pandemic. I agree with you that if covid isn't safe for primary/elementary school age children to be together; it's definitely not safe for babies and toddlers!

Not all retail is shut. There is nothing in Government guidelines that say you can go out for one hour a day. "You can continue to exercise alone, with one other person or with your household or support bubble. This should be limited to once per day, and you should not travel outside your local area.You can also leave home if attending the care and exercise of an animal, or veterinary services". There is no time limit in your going out. Plus you can continue to walk your dog when needed.
