[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If it makes you feel better, I’m a SAHM and I’m not supplementing or doing cool projects or having “living room dance parties” or any of the things that might make a working mom feel bad. I am getting more sleep, true. And life is kinda cushy not having to drive everyone around now. But just so you know- my kids’ lives aren’t enriched right now! And we don’t have as much money as you probably do. And your career is giving you something else to think about other than, I guess I really should stand up right now. Oh nah, I’ll just keep sitting. 😂 [/quote] But aren't you worried your kids will fall behind? Never win in science fares and won't learn architecture principals? I'm serious.[/quote]

Meant to quote the above PP.

I guess. Sometimes. But then I console myself with the fact that the entire WORLD is in the same boat. I am fortunate, too, that my kids like to read, so typically they are just lying about doing that (except after dinner when it’s a free for all mad dash for the screens). I do worry sorry if existentially that this will widen the achievement gap even more, if some families are busy hiring tutors and organizing enriching activities, and the rest of us aren’t or can’t. But no, I’m writing off this spring. If things don’t open in the fall I guess I’ll have to... learn architecture?[/quote]
