[quote=Anonymous]I thought about something similar. That hopefully parents will take away from this the walks and bike rides and gardening and cooking with their kids. Clearly, I wish that people were not dying. And losing their livelihoods and jobs, and their dearest.
Yes, I think that going back to basics of being with your kids, spending more time not on the phone while going on walks with your kids is a positive thing. At the same time, many people are taking their frustration on their kids. I certainly would not want to be a kid whose mom locked them in the house 4 weeks ago and she never even allowed them to go in the backyard. Nor do I wish to the be kid of a "slipstream will kill us if we go out," poster.(I so hope she doesn't have kids)
I think some families needed the time to reconnect, that I think is the point OP was making. If something good can come out of this terrible situation, where people are dying, maybe this is it? So, no I am not loving the quarantine, but I like seeing my neighbors spending time with their kids outside. I do also see that some people can't leave their phone or laptop even to go outside. One mom puts her chair out, talks on her phone the whole time and then just barks to her son not to get too close to the neighbor kid. I wish she would do something with her younger kid, like chalk, skip games, etc. But, she is not me, and apart from saying it here, it is none of my business really to judge.[/quote]
