What are you most content to sacrifice during the pandemic?

[Lockdowner35]

I would say going into restaurants and going on holiday

Commuting into the office (I was never one to eat out and cannot remember the last time I went abroad for a holiday!)

I’m not “content” to sacrifice anything.

My exh.

Accepting it as necessary doesn’t equate to being content. This is a miserable, joyless existence in every way.

Working in the office.

Going into the office
Xmas day with the in-laws

The journey to work

Letting people into my house

Ditto.
Nice but can survive without.

Hmmmm that's quite a tricky one! There isn't anything I'm overjoyed about not being able to do tbh. If I was still working and not a SAHM, I'm sure I'd be happy not to have to do the train commute every day, especially in the very cold weather.

I can live without pubs and restaurants, because we don't use them all that often anyway (young dcs), but I miss them all the same. We also don't tend to go abroad on holiday, but we haven't even managed a uk holiday this year, so I'm sad about that.

Content? Nothing. It’s entirely pish.

Am I doing it? Yes. Am I content? No, I am not. Every liberty every choice I give up makes me uncomfortable and the fact others are content or even worse seem happy as I’ve seen on other threads makes me deeply deeply uncomfortable.

Working in the office. And going to kids birthday parties, I have to admit!

Commute to work
In-person GP appointments for things like renewing prescription etc.

Parent's evening in school

Office Christmas party. I was delighted to dodge that.

Trekking 1000 miles a week around the country for work. And currently the school run that takes a minimum of two hours out of my day!!

The only positive has been saving some money but that's because we can't do any of the things that normally make life enjoyable.

I would continue sacrificing everything we currently are plus some more if DS4, only child, could go to school as normal. J wouldn’t be content about it though.

Not feeling obliged to socialise. I love being on my own....with 3 kids of course lol

Commuting into the office - not much of a sacrifice really as I get more sleep and save a lot of money!

Is it a sacrifice if you're content to give it up?

Not having people back to mine [slattern]

Yes, good one! The gp is a lot easier not in person.

I’m happy to sacrifice sledging - but it’s seems as there’s not many others who would!

Afternoon school run. They walk to ex's house or home on their own. If I don't collect them ex brings them back eventually.
