AIBU to ask how your children are coping with lockdown?

[MissingM]

:(

Not too bad, despite having two FT WFH parents they are in good spirits. School is occupying them, we've given them more freedom and try and focus on the positives such as all having meals together and other things that didn't fit in when they had two parents working FT juggling school runs. They are bored of my cooking however so they now know how to use the toaster

6 year old told me he doesn't want to be alive anymore.

So....fucking wonderful 😒

Mine are doing ok....during the first lockdown I was pregnant and WFH and that was quite tricky to say the least. My MH was not great as baby was unexpected and felt tremendously sick and tired. Fast forward to having the baby, more hands at home and holding the baby while homeschooling. Yes the homeschooling is tiresome most days but I'm glad for the extra hands at home and im also quite glad that we don't have the extended family trotting in and out daily invading our space.

The kids miss school a bit, their friends a lot and going out to places immensely...bit we aren't dramatising it and keep reassuring them it will be over soon (because it will!!)

We are lucky enough to still have jobs and WFH (I'm on MAT leave) we've saved bundles of time and money on commuting.

We haven't had anyone close sick or die of covid and for that I count my blessings everyday.

I'm already despising a FT commute in December and will miss the children when back at school but will be glad of some quiet time with the baby!

My DDs are 10 and 8.
