Obviusly you and your family were not affected by lockdown so badly, congrats. Not everyone was so lucky though.

> Staying at home with Grandma and Papa

Lockdown prevented relatives visits.

> Pandemic was pretty traumatic here in the US, at least a million people died last time I looked at it.

Millions die every year, that is normal for a country with 350 million people!

> You know what my kids don't have? My kids don't have a smart phone. You know what my kids don't have? Unlimited access to devices.

My kid did not had device before pandemic, we got tablet for lockdowns. My kid was social and full of energy, it always wanted to play outside and climb trees. Two years of isolation, in tiny apartment were pretty bad!

Now it does not want to go outside, it does not want to socialize! It adapted and got new hobies.

> Largely, I think it is the parents though

Yes, i blame myself. For not ignoring lockdowns and not fighting back! Against sociopaths who enforced this bs!

You should direct your anger at sociopaths, who can't keep their asses at home with the first symptoms of illness or who couldn't skip partying for dutation of few months, showing middle finger to all of us and especially to medical services who were actually the main advocates of the lockdown, because well, the hospitals were overcrowded. If you would bother to remember all this of course
