[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Being stuck inside was the worst. Now that the weather is changing and we're all getting vaccinated things are looking up. But yes the past year was horrendous. I thought the kids handled things as well as they could maybe better than the grown ups sometimes. I heard my "babies" saying over and over again 'when the virus is over we will be able to do......".

Trying to focus on things looking up and being grateful. And OP you are right, this was a nightmare for working families.[/quote]

As a teacher's assistant/ Nanny it was never hard for me. We weren't " stuck" inside, we still did our daily walks through the neighborhood, cooked, play games worked in workbooks had a daily plan just as in school![/quote]

I’m also a former teacher who had our days planned and live in Southern California where the weather is always nice and it was still fricking hard.  I used to run playgroups for my charge and take him to two libraries and two gorgeous playgrounds during the week until covid closed it all.  My charge missed other kids as did I.

Also because I formed a pod with my employers and live alone, my weekends were really lonely.  I missed my friends, my former charges, and my family.  Thank God I love my employers like family and enjoyed spending Thanksgiving, Christmas and all birthdays with them.  [/quote]

Live-in here.

PP hit it on the head.  I've homeschooled before.  It involved playdates, library trips 2-4 times per week, storytime at both the library and two independent bookstores, homeschool gym class, music classes, sport practices and games, scouts, religious services and youth group, informal coop science experiments in our home whenever we had a unit that could be expanded to include others, etc.

The kids this year have had a few online classes, numerous nature hikes, but not much else.  It's just not the same.[/quote]
