[quote=Anonymous]Oh good grief, can people post about their struggles without being shamed for them? I guess not, especially here. This is not how most of us were parenting before the pandemic, that's for sure. It's a big adjustment. My only advice, which is I hope is useful, is stop treating it like your job is to make your kids happy and not bored. That's not your job. Your job is to provide the basics of life, love your kids, spend time with them doing family activities etc. It's not to fill every minute of their day like a cruise director. And if your kids are a bit older? What are THEY doing to be a productive and useful member of the household? Laundry? Dusting? There's a lot to be done and it shouldn't fall all on the parents, beyond infancy. Even toddlers can be trained to help clean up their toys. [/quote]
