[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What's the big deal? Was every minute of your summer scheduled with parents entertaining you in your downtime for 3 straight months whenever you were a kid? Summers were supposed to be about boredom. Lots of biking riding, book reading, and bad TV. Now they have Netflix, much better video gaming systems, and friends to text with 24-7 without tying up the one phone line in the house. They'll survive just like I survived in the 90s.[/quote] It's not about that. It's about three kids entertaining themselves while two adults are in the same house, attempting to do Zoom calls and conference calls and think about work....all at the same time. Without the benefit of being able to hang out with friends, go to the movies, or do lots of other things we all did in the "boredom summers" of the 1980s. This is about my sanity and ability to my job more than it is about the kids being scheduled with entertainment.[/quote]
