[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I've gotta think all the school holidays are hard.  We are married (both work) and even with two of us it's hard to manage all of the FCPS holidays.  No joke like there's a holiday every other week plus if kids are sick you've gotta have a serious support network to make it work or make a ton of money to hire reliable babysitters with just one person covering it all.[/quote]

Here’s the thing when you don’t have another adult to rely upon you just make  it work. I didn’t focus on the logistics of it all I just kept pushing and planning and moving forward.

The pandemic was a boon for me. I rarely go into the office now and I have time to run my DS everywhere, multiple sports, activities, tutoring etc., it all seems so easy now.

Especially in comparison to when I was trying to juggle work and all of the above. I managed to do it both then and now without any grumbling. But it is much easier now.

The entire experience has been the most rewarding and joy filled adventure of my life and I had a lot of life before I had my son in my 40s.

I’m closing in on the finish line. Almost time to leave the nest and Im not quite certain what I’ll do with myself when that day comes.  I’m going to miss when it was just us and all the crazy jam packed days. I’ll have to get a life I suppose and find someone else to go on adventures with. [/quote]
