[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]Yes!!![/b] Same here, OP. You said it well. I am loving this time. And trying to do for those who might be struggling.[/quote]

OP, it's the introvert in you. I am one too, plus with my maximizing tendencies to push myself to attend social events or have FOMO, this time has had the silver lining of giving me some reprieve from all that, plus reprieve from driving my kids around to birthday parties, indoor play places, gymnastics,  rec centers.

On the other hand, I'm working more hours than before covid, and not able to help my 7 and 4 year olds with hardly anything apart from breaking up fights/bickering between them, getting them snacks, and logging them into my laptop when it's the 4 year old's daily zoom time with the preschool teachers. I feel so guilty that I tell my kids to go away and play, resort to them being on ABCmouse or whatever online learning platform my 7 year old gets through her elementary school resources page. I am trusting those are safe, but some of them are not that good in that they are video gamey ( Reflex Math).

And I'm so physically and emotionally tired of all the extra housework. The daily telling the kids to pick up toys messes, taking the time to help or monitoring them so it gets done and we don't trip over messes they make daily, the never ending dishes for a family of four eating three meals and two snacks a day. I load the dishwasher twice a day but still have to do quite a bit of dishes by hand. The extra cooking. The cleaning of the kitchen floors, the bathrooms, that stuff I used to outsource.

I'm just tired of it all. But the silver lining is the part about not having to push myself to do more of the social stuff. [/quote]
