[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My 3 and 5 year old are loving this because "they get to spend every day with us."  They also loved school, and we never had issues with drop off.  But when we do return to school, that's going to be tough.

The only thing that is difficult is that 5 weeks in and they still don't seem to understand that mom and dad need to telework.  Just because we're home doesn't mean that we're free to play with them all the time.  [/quote]

Same situation.  My 3 and 5 year old, who went to full time care their whole lives, are actually pretty happy.  Yes, they are disappointed they can't do things.  But yesterday we walked right by a playground and they didn't even ask about it, so they've caught on.

They seem to really enjoy all the time with parents.  No rushing out of the house, lots of our attention (even though we are trying to work too!).  My DH and I are struggling more with the limited social things than they are.

Also, they finally have time for some deeper imaginative play.  It's been interesting to see how that's developed.  Yes, they are also watching plenty of TV!  But now they are inventing games and really deeply playing together.  It's helped me not worry about their development at all.  This time seems like it may benefit them in the long run.  If we can get out of it without any germ OCD....[/quote]
