[quote=Anonymous]Are they in aftercare? I wonder if you can find a different care situation that is more "fun" or active. Also, your youngest obviously doesn't remember pre-covid times and your eldest probably remembers less than you think. This is brand new and it's going to take time to adjust. I agree with PP's suggestion to be there with them, listen, and make family time. See if you can make some weekday rituals, and do a family activity every weekend. Don't schedule a lot of other stuff. While I don't think you should change jobs because they're sad, if [i]you [/i]liked WFH or think it would work better for your family, you could change jobs. I noticed you said "office" and not "hospital" so I wonder if a different arrangement is possible. I went to 80% telework when my eldest started school because DH had to work in person, and if I did too we'd never see our kids at all. Just a thought, not a guilt-trip. [/quote]
