[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What do you do with your kids during the day? [/quote]

Pre-COVID we had a moms group we hung out with several times a week.  Museums, zoos, aquariums, parks, play dates etc.  We got out of the noise at least 2/3 times a week unless the weather was bad or we were sick.

On days we’re home all day we mostly take it easy. My oldest went to preschool 3 mornings a week and the younger two would just run errands with me.

Now it’s a struggle.  Some days we do activities, some days we play outside, some days we watch movies.  My oldest starts in person school in the fall and DS will do preschool 3 mornings a week so it will just be my youngest and me and me and we’ll probably do some classes (gymnastics?).

They’re really good at self entertaining.  We set aside time during the day to play one on one but I truly hate pretend play with kids.  So glad they can do that with one another.

I don’t mind running around at parks but I hate being bossed around by toddlers because I’m not building blocks right so not one to come for with great ideas for activities at home. [/quote]
