Anyone else started any little habits with their dc while they're home-schooling?

Every day, me & the girls sit together for the ten mins break they have at the same time & have a quick cuppa & something biscuity/cakey. Today was chocolate wafers my friend's dad gave me yesterday, on my way home from work.

Anyone else developed any little routines/habits with their kids? :)

I'm not home schooling but I am home with my 2 DSs who are 3yo and 15mo, no preschool for them. We have this cute new routine where at about 10.15am I scream in to a pillow whilst Mr Tumble is on. They giggle away at how silly mummy is!

Dp is doing the vast majority with our dc as I'm a nurse.

They have a bunch of things in their routine - they do some sort of exercise at 9 to start the day (PE with Joe or Cosmic Kids Yoga mainly). They take the dog for a walk after lunch and add a bit to the den they are building in the woods.

We also now have a colour coded system for whether the dc can come into the room where one of us is working - green means it's an internal meeting and they can ask us stuff, yellow means to try and wait unless it is important, red means not to come in unless someone is hurt.

They aren’t allowed to talk to me between 4pm and 5pm - does that count?!!

Only joking they’ve been mostly great. DS1 who is 12 has really got into cooking so we now do it together with an audio book playing. It’s a really lovely peaceful bit of the day which I am relishing as I know it won’t last forever

I regularly hide.
Unfortunately they always find me.

Yes, my eye has started twitching, really noticeably.

The palpitations are new as well.

Oh, and we do this other thing, where I pretend not to be gritting my teeth, and add "sweetheart" to the end of every sentence to soften the tone.
