[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Has any of this made you more sympathetic to what families in poverty experience in non-pandemic times, working multiple jobs, drying to help kids with homework they don’t understand?[/quote]

NP and of course this is valid, as empathy and compassion for others is never a bad thing.

But must EVERY thread turn the OP's question/gripe into an oppression Olympics/"who has it worse" competition???
We can all find others who are worse off, for sure! And we can all point to others (ahem- tone deaf celebrities) who are fairing all of this with ease but think that we are all "in the same boat."
The truth is, we are all in the same storm, but in very different boats. And OP is just expressing that her boat is getting difficult for her to row at the moment. That's all.[/quote]

Most of us here need a reminder that our boat is just NOW getting difficult to row, but others have always been in a leaking boat and trying to row while under heavy fire.[/quote]

And if much of what is making your boat hard to row is that you brought a grand piano (soccer zoom) onboard, you still have the option to pitch it overboard. [/quote]
