[quote=Anonymous]I teach part time, so it was easier on me when the kids were doing DL and I could help. Now I’m off so I can take them hiking or biking during the day or to the pool that finally opened up. Yes i have it easier than working parents. But it’s not always easy. Sometimes I wish I could lock myself in a room for hours and say I have to work/have a conference call so I can have something else besides attending to their needs. The fight a lot and it’s wearing me down. I am an introvert and I miss time alone. When I work to carve time out for myself, I feel guilty that I’m not with them, I remember it’s fine, but then I don’t—then I’m a roller coaster of emotions.

I think it’s rare when life is truly perfect for some. It’s easy to see pictures on social media and assume someone is living their best life and it’s better than yours. But you don’t know if your friend with the amazing backyard pool is going through a divorce. Or your friend with the amazing nanny has a horrible relationship with her mother. Or your friend with the beach house has a chronic illness. I try to be grateful for what I have and not be smug about it. [/quote]
