[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It's been fine, I love my family. But I can't wait to see other people for limited amounts of time. :D

I don't really have a deeper analysis. We are healthy, fed, entertained... We are struggling with time and energy management because we've literally had zero help with two small kids since March 12. But we have a routine now and it's manageable. [b]Early on, I reposted the meme "Your grandparents were called to war. You're being called to sit on your couch. You can do thi[/b]s." I got some flack from friends who thought I was being insensitive about mental health impacts, but I stand by it 100%. Of course, this is not as easy as sitting on your couch, but I think of my European grandparents, all of whom fought in WWII - they flew dangerous missions with the RAF, smuggled radios through Nazi checkpoints, cared for the sick and the dying, and taught schoolchildren while bombs literally fell around them. That perspective makes any thought of feeling sorry for myself dissipate immediately.[/quote]

While true, your grandparents had community. Everyone was in it, [b]not just half or a 1/4 of people.[/b] People could still get together, families helped each other. Its a different mental hurdle now. [/quote]

What do you mean by this?  
I feel like everyone is in on it.  Certainly more than 1/2.[/quote]
