[quote=Anonymous]I don’t feel regret, but I have learned things about my kids / appreciated new things about them that I didn’t get to experience in our ordinary life. For example, my space cadet 8 year old can really focus and turn out some good school work with minimal direction when that’s the expectation. His teachers had said this about him, but honestly I didn’t really believe them until I saw it first hand. My older son has been weirdly helpful and compliant since school closed, and we’ve been having lots of deep conversations with both. I certainly am not glad we’re in this situation (especially since I know our situation is better than many others) but I can appreciate this as the silver lining. The temporary break from the rat race has its benefits and I’m trying to appreciate them amidst the crazy. [/quote]
