We have our kids under 16 living at home, so we do not invite non-vaccinated people into our homes (unless they had a recent negative test).
I continue to mask as SD outside the home according to the law. Next week they'll probably scrap the outdoor mask requirement here in Israel. I'm looking forward to that. I am a lot less worried about catching covid now that I am vaccinated (obviously).

I still have 2 kids who are too young to be vaccinated so we are not inviting any unvaccinated people into our home, but I am much less nervous about my toddler going to school than I was before. When her teacher got covid and we all quarantined I was very worried. BH we were all fine.
The law is still that you have to wear a mask in public so we are obviously following that.
It's been wonderful to have the vaccinated grandparents be able to come to our home again.

All those in my house over 16 are vaccinated and we are not worried at all. It seems like kids that catch it are much less prone to getting very sick. They are all back in school and seeing friends again.

I freely invite people into my home... But I also did before I was vaccinated. I'm just happier about it now.

I’m Definitely more relaxed about being around others but I still like my space (always did before covid too) and still avoid hugs and kisses especially from those who are unvaccinated.

I have children at home who can not get vaccinated so no, I do not invite anyone unvaccinated into my home and CERTAINLY not unmasked. Nor do my children go into anyone else's homes if they are unvaccinated.

I'm vaccinated, and don't have kids at home. However, I do have one friend who doesn't vax, and has lots of little kids at home.
One of the best investments I made this winter, was to buy a very nice set of patio furniture when it was on sale. Now I have a nice, safe place to have company out in the fresh air, and nobody has to worry. (The sofa is fabulous for Shabbos naps!)

Of course. I'm vaccinated, so I'm not terribly worried about myself. That said, I do not hang around anyone unmasked other than vaccinated family members.

Both. I know kids usually don't have a severe case, but I'm their mom, it's my job to protect them from whatever I can. Plus even minor cases are now showing relatively long term negative side effects. Would you let your children ride in a car unbuckled just because you don't think they're likely to get into an accident? Of course not! (At least I hope not). We need to protect our children. That's our job as parents. So taking every reasonable precaution is my job.
Likewise of course I want to protect the people they are exposed to. This was an especially urgent concern before the vaccine. We did not share an indoor space with their grandparents for nearly a year, and even then everyone (who was old enough to) was masked. Now they're around other children at school/daycare (b"h with almost all vaccinated/recovered teachers) and obviously I want to do my share to protect the other students. I hope every other parent feels the same way and isn't knowingly putting my child at risk but sending a potentially exposed kid to school.
