14. My Child, My Choice! Navigating Relationships with Anti-Vax Family and Friends

07/05/21 • 16 min

Hi Mama,

After sharing a pandemic related episode I got a question from listener Sarah. She asks, "What do you do if you have a baby that's not vaccinated but you also have family members who refuse to get the vaccine? I have family members who don't believe COVID is real and don't believe that kids can get it, so they don't want to get the vaccine. However, it's making a strain in our family. What do you do?"

This is something that I personally deal with so today I am sharing my experience and my little piece of advice on this topic. Simply put: my child, my choice!! You are that boss, mama!! This is for all scenarios, not even just covid related but everything. Your child, your choice!! Say it again!

13. The Positive Side of Becoming A Parent During The Pandemic

Hi Mama,

Becoming a parent during the pandemic has been hard, scary, isolating, traumatic, and very very sad. I feel that at my core. But today I wanted to share the positive side of becoming a parent during the pandemic. I know that as I record this that everyone's situation was different and unique, and you might not have the same experience as me, but I hope that one of these positive points resonates with you. What we had to do was "unprecedented"... yup, I'm sick of that term too, but it's true! I know the pandemic isn't over, but I am optimistic that brighter days are coming. If we can get through this, we can do anything!

If you want to share your personal experience, send me a message on Instagram @motheroffawn or an email to [email protected]. I would love to hear what the most positive part of becoming a parent during the pandemic has been for you!

Stay safe and well, mama.
