[quote=Anonymous]There are things that we enjoy, family dinners and family walks, but for the most part we are done with this. We are both fortunate to still be working and we have the worlds easiest going kid. He is doing his school work and anything else we assign on light days, to keep him busy while we work, without complaint. DS is able to play more on the Switch and has been enjoying playing with his toys and occupying himself. So it has not been horrible.

But DS misses his friends and his activities. We are all bummed that we have missed time visiting with my family over Spring Break and are preparing for the 2 week long family vacation this summer to be cancelled. It has already been altered because the hotels we were staying at have announced they won't be opened. We were able to make other arrangements but they are not ideal. Totally doable and enjoyable but not what we had planned.

We have worked our normal schedule so that one of us is home when DS is home from school, that means I am in the office when the rest of the family is waking up, and DH comes home after DS dinner time. But we have lots of things we enjoy doing during the week and on weekends. There is plenty of family time.

Toss in worry about elderly parents living in a retirement community in California and yeah, I am done with this.

We are not the most extroverted folks but this is not enjoyable. Doable and worth doing but not how I want to live. We will be happier when we can start to resume some normal life, especially play dates.[/quote]
