[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Actually, when I began working again. 
I really LOVED the moment after the usual hectic morning of getting the kids ready, walking them to school, jumping on the subway, then settling into my workstation with a hot cup of morning tea and slowly checking emails and the workday's task ahead without being interrupted.  The last 3 words are important - focusing without being interrupted.
I entered this magical world when my youngest entered kindergarten and I hit the job market pronto.
That un-interrupted morning tea was the best well-rested moment of my day.

Now that I work from home, well, it's OK I guess.  The kids are older and don't need me as much but I have to look at the laundry and dishes all day and get distracted by the home chores that need to get done.  So since lockdown, my morning teas no longer feel like an escape.[/quote]

When my kids were little, i enjoyed momday mornings bavk at thr office, where i can drink my coffee uninterrupted  AND go.to.the nathroom ALONE. [/quote]

Yeah, being able to go to the bathroom alone once more is a big deal.  You don't know you've lost this important daily bit of privacy until you've got it back.[/quote]

Why not just... lock the door? Teach kids to knock and wait?

I've truly never understood the "I can't pee alone" thing - I have 3 kids and this has never been a problem. Why are you constantly allowing your kids into the bathroom if you don't want them there?![/quote]

+1. I never let my child in the bathroom with me except when she was being potty trained and I let her watch me go to learn the mechanics.[/quote]
