Wow, didn’t even credit DCUM

Are you feeling lonely? If so get help.

On Monday, someone posted a topic on the DC Urban Moms and Dads digital forum stating, "Quarantine Confessions (share yours here)." Many of the anonymous comments have been humorous, candid, and oh so timely...

I baked 24 muffins yesterday morning. They are almost all gone.

There only 4 people in my family...

Ha. I didn’t either.

That connection never even occurred to me...and I feel a bit silly about that.

hmmm hahaha I thought I was so smart calling it COVID-19 instead of coronavirus lol.

Though I do think calling it coronavirus sounds scarier. Imagine if we told our kids YOU HAVE RHINOVIRUS!!! when they get the sniffles.

THANK YOU to all those saying they’ve barely worked this week/today/whenever. I’m was feeling so incredibly guilty but am so exhausted from cleaning everything, distracted by the news, stalking websites for products, that I’ve barely gotten anything done this week. I have to submit a daily report and have been pretty much making it up. And this is such a perfect time for me to catch up on work and do some much needed file/email clean up and organization yet I’m blowing it big time.

My confession is: I haven’t wore panties since last week. Shower every day and put in a clean nightgown (bra is optional) but no panties. I’m telling myself that is healthy to let the vagina breathe.

I secretly think that this is meant to be as a way of “clearing up the forest”.
Look how much cleaner the world has become- the air, the water...
also, there are so many seniors in care homes whose relatives will be secretly relieved if they died.
There are homeless people who are supposedly harder hit by the virus; in any case, I see much fewer of them now...
I think this is a means to rebalance the world...

I am so happy to not have to see my coworkers! They are all nice people (well almost all) but I am just so tired of all the meaningless interactions.

Confession: I am struggling trying to teach my 6 year old one on one.

I am bored, he is bored, I am ready to throw in the towel and have a Mario kart challenge all week instead. I downloaded abcmouse (boring) and adventure academy (“can not connect to server”) to be my savior, but they have failed me.

I am telling myself he was way ahead when schools closed, so missing a few months is no big deal and we will just bake cookies and it will be okay.

I know that these are confessions, but this is super lame. Find some topics/stories that he is interested in and go to town. Look at pinterest.

You are.

There was a distinct gleeful “haha” tone to a lot of those posts about borders closing and flights being canceled.

That’s a really shitty attitude to take btw. You should be embarrassed to admit that.

Welcome to the "confessions" thread. Have you heard of a confession? It's something you are ashamed or embarrassed to admit.

This was going to be basically my confession. We live in an apartment building and usually take the kid down to run around outside in the courtyard after work. So do our downstairs neighbors with similar aged kids. We're not having them share toys or come inside, but we also havent changed the routine to avoid each other in the afternoons. It is the only other kid contact my kid has, he looks forward to it SO much, we share door handles and rails and laundry with them already, and the kids can literally see each other out the windows. But I don't think the other family is being quite as strict about social distance otherwise as we arw.
