School will be there in the Fall and the kids can repeat. It won't cost the parents more.

We still do not have the distance-learning packets from FFX county, nor any real time distance leading elementary lessons - after 3 weeks.

But my kids recognized one of their teachers in front of their school when we rode by yesterday: he was passing out free lunch.

I pay taxes to the school to educate by kids, not to run a soup kitchen for the 5% farms. Teachers are supposed to teach.

You’re an asshole. Read a book with your kid and talk about the themes of you can handle it. Packets? Catch a clue.

I look amazing. My anxiety is at an all-time high and I can’t sleep, but I’ve been trying to fight it by working out to online classes and going on daily runs with my dog for endorphins.

Between not eating much because I’m stressed and having time to exercise daily, I’ve lost 10 lbs in 3.5 weeks and have never looked fitter.

I pay taxes to educate your kid and have teachers hand out lunches to FARMs children. I also pay to educate my children privately. They have no packets but intelligent ostentatious who can manage Grade 4 and 6 work.

I have given up trying to hide the fact I fart from my husband. I won't fart in the same room (unless it's an accident), but he now hears mt farts when I work. I eat a high fiber mostly vegetarian diet. The downside is noisy farts. Luckily they are only smelly if I eat processed foods.

DH, DD and I are going insane. DH has a heart valve repair surgery on hold. DD left college as it closed down and is stuck at home with us. She is beyond heartbroken to have to come back to live with us. I am just not sure the three of us are going to survive this quarantine. All 3 of us cried today. We are not looking into getting a dog just to bring some joy into our lives.

I've been contemplating divorce for a while now, but that sealed it.

I should introduce my wife to your husband. She asked me in an irritated voice if I was ever gong to get that door fixed. Same thing where I am working from home and she isn't.

I know people are saying divorce, it will never get better - but it would be a financial nightmare and I would lose a lot of time with my kids so for now I just take it.

Rolled out of bed at 530 pm and had a bowl of cereal for breakfast/lunch/dinner. If I do a load of laundry OR pay bills, day will be complete. I’m not hating this life.

I hope the coronovirus cleans out the criminal element destroying our cities. Drug dealers and murderers, in particular.

Why can’t the admin people at schools do this to free up teachers?

^ right, cause it's that simple (you really can't fix dumb). like others have said, chill and read a book with your kid.

I went to get a pack at my Safeway but was shocked at how expensive they were (new taxes since I last quit) so I walked out and drove across the bridge to Virginia where they are half the price. Guess I'm still my same cheap self even when I'm craving some nicotine.

I think smoking rates will increase appreciably in the near future and vapers also will convert to real tobacco. A boom for the big tobacco companies.

So much masturbation.

So. Much. Masturbation.

I've been drinking every night. And I'm normally a önly once in a while when I'm going out" kind of drinker. I have also gotten high quite a bit. Cannot handle work and essentially homeschooling elementary-aged kids with the ridiculousness MCPS has rolled out.
