[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Weird. I’m spending less time with my kids now.

We would normally be out and about doing things together.

Sitting around the house is not more bonding than what I did before with them.

If you didn’t work... you realize you would be home alone because they are at school.

Your post sounds very illogical and unrealistic.[/quote]
Opposite for us.  Both parents here working FT at home.  I thought we would be at each other's throats by now, but the kids have been really great so far.  We have been laughing a lot at meal times, and just generally spending a lot of time together as opposed to schlepping the kids around from one activity to another on the weekend.  Today, we started preparing our garden for spring planting.

OP - it's great that you are connecting with your kids.  It's always great if you have that choice and chance to quit for a year or so to spend some time with the kids. I did it for a year or so.

IMO, this crisis has brought my family closer.[/quote]
