[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The covid is making all of us crazy.  [b]So much time together but still so tired of each other.[/b]  We all need a break from each other so that we'll be able to connect when we're together.[/quote]

My husband and I couldn't figure out why we felt somewhat disconnected sometimes even though we were literally spending 24 hours a day 7 days a week right next to each other. Then we realized it was because most of that time was doing things, like getting the kids ready, making dinner, folding laundry, working, etc. We decided to carve out time where the two of us were doing what WE wanted to do, and then we were able to really connect. Being in close proximity to someone doesn't make you close to them. I think that's the issue OP is having. He feels like because he's in the same house as his kids all the time he should be close to them. But being near someone doesn't mean you're connecting with them. And actually it can make you feel more disconnected because you FEEL like you should be closer than you are.[/quote]
