[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I can't figure out if I'm just naturally a terrible parent (short tempered, no patience, attached to my laptop, want everyone to just go away) or if this is a Covid thing (and, if the latter, if it's reversible).[/quote]

Same. I thought I was ok. Then snapped and hid in my room for an hour. It wasn’t even a bad day, I’m just toast. [/quote]

I have been pleasantly surprised that the more I disappear (meaning inside the house, but hiding!) the more my kids seek out my husband instead of me!  It's taken a solid 6 months for them to ask where daddy has gone when he leaves their sight, not just me.  Of course my 6 year old has also caught on that I often am in the basement hiding, so will come find me.  But it's getting less frequent.

My childcare is going up this week, and in April my youngest will go back full time, and I am GLEEFUL.  Of course still a but nervous about covid myself, but at least I don't have to worry about killing people I know since the number of vaccinated people keeps going up.  Hopefully by summer I'll be among them.  BABYSITTERS BUCKLE UP I AM CALLING YOU!!!!![/quote]
