Once in awhile I come across something that makes me feel ok about my kid,my role as his mom and his friends (mid to late 20s):

I heard my son talking to one of his friends before dinner last night. All his close friends are on the autism spectrum and all of them are metalheads who LOVE live music. The pandemic has been hard on their mental health but they seem to be doing a pretty good job of checking in with each other and sometimes doing safe visits here at our house. Anyway, the kid was talking about the vaccines and said he was going to drag his friends to the doctor or wherever to get them when they become available. Because the more of them that get it, the safer concerts and shows will be. His buddy was scared about the vaccine (his parents are wingnuts)and my son said, “Dude, my mom told me that when we knew for sure that this was going to be safe, the whole family is getting the shots. My mom wouldn’t let us get the damned things if she was worried about safety. She goes by what doctors and scientists say, not that fucking moron in the White House”. Heh. I raised such a good son, lol.
