[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Weird. I’m spending less time with my kids now.

We would normally be out and about doing things together.

Sitting around the house is not more bonding than what I did before with them.

If you didn’t work... you realize you would be home alone because they are at school.

Your post sounds very illogical and unrealistic.[/quote]
Opposite for us.  Both parents here working FT at home.  I thought we would be at each other's throats by now, but the kids have been really great so far.  We have been laughing a lot at meal times, and just generally spending a lot of time together as opposed to schlepping the kids around from one activity to another on the weekend.  Today, we started preparing our garden for spring planting.

OP - it's great that you are connecting with your kids.  It's always great if you have that choice and chance to quit for a year or so to spend some time with the kids. I did it for a year or so.

IMO, this crisis has brought my family closer.[/quote]

That is sad that your were not close to your family before.

My family was close before and they are close now. Sounds like classic over scheduling, FOMO.

While my kids do lots of activities, seems like you took it to an unhealthy level.

Obviously it is healthier to socialize, exercise and be in school... but your family is unhealthy doing those things. Wow!

Who can't prep a garden and play a sport. Weird. [/quote]
