[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Our life is not that different. I am a SAHM. My kids have been playing tennis all spring and summer. Our pool is now open. We went to the beach back in June when kids were still in virtual school. We have been biking, hiking and fishing since April. My youngest is 3 so we always ate a lot of take out vs eating in at restaurants.

We were avoiding friends. We just recently saw a few friends and it really made me appreciate the friends I really love. It has also made me glad to not see the ones I’m not fond of.

We did have to cancel all our travel plans and have no upcoming trips. We cancelled Asia, Europe, West Coast and several tentative beach trips. I cancelled a much anticipated girls trip with friends that was very hard to plan. Many of my friends turned 40 this year and all plans and parties were cancelled. My kids birthday parties were cancelled.

We will survive. Our summer of pool, tennis, golf and beach does not feel that different.[/quote]

This is smug.[/quote]

Yeah. Intentionally so. This is the kind of annoying half troll crap I write when I’m feeling depressed, likely a little drunk, and want to get some sad, fleeting rush out of feeling better than anonymous strangers on the internet. But at least I’m self aware about it. [/quote]

I’m the pp. I said our life wasn’t that different minus travel. We are now in Phase 3 in Virginia. Things are returning to some semblance of normal. Schools are opening, albeit will be on a hybrid system. My kids don’t play baseball but our friends have started playing. My kids will start soccer in late August/early September. I plan to send my 3yo to preschool in the fall.

I have lots of working friends. I used to be a working mom. I have friends who already started sending kids back to daycare or have had their nanny all along. My friends with older kids have also hired help - high school kids, college students and teachers.

Pools are open. Beaches are open. Parks and playgrounds are open. Stores and restaurants are open. We pick and choose what we consider safe. We spend much more time at home.

I am not living my best life right now. I’m just trying to make the most of it. I’ve always been a glass is half full type of person.[/quote]
