[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The depth of the pandemic, with the kids home for online school and trying to work and run a school at a daycare, be short order cook, all of that. Was horrible. On top of that, worry about getting sick and maybe one of us stone, some of us are high risk

No life is almost back to normal, and the kids are going to school, they do some activities for nothing insane, and now we get to work from home most days. In many ways it should be better, but I feel like the dishes are always piled up, the house is always a mess, and we are more burned out than ever.

Maybe we were just frogs in a pot of water, I didn’t realize how tough it was before the pandemic and then with that lull when life was returning to normal but not quite made us not prepared for reality.[/quote]

I feel you on that. I’m looking right now at a sink of dirty dishes. The playroom is constantly a mess. DH is wonderful, but is starting to travel more, which puts more stress on me to handle everything while he’s gone.

I’m exhausted. [/quote]

I should say starting to travel more again. It was nice having him around for the past 2 years and not have to deal with the work trips, but with his company having folks back into the office, he has to travel to their various locations. [/quote]
