I’ve just recently stopped being a SAHM and gone back to work as a key worker. I couldn’t agree more. That has been my life for the last 3 years. No family nearby, husband out at work all day, just myself and two very little children. It’s hard, but it’s been occurring long before this bloody pandemic. People need to stop tooting their own horns. Next we’ll be clapping for people who managed to roll over in bed or put on their socks.

I don’t agree with clapping for parents or kids.... but it is hard not being able to take them out to blow off some steam on the park etc which we’d normally be able to do, or a play centre or have play dates. It’s our job I don’t want a clap but it’s hard to entertain them in the house constantly and nerves are being frayed on all parts.

I'm giving myself a round of applause* every night to celebrate getting through another full day with my children and husband.

*Netflix and gin.

Can you link me where it says on the government website please as I can't find it? My friend is shielding and hasn't received the text.

Can you not take them for a daily walk or a bike ride?
 
My kids are struggling massively as they're not allowed to go for a walk due to me having to shield. We've got an ok sized garden but they're 11 and 13 so a bit too old for garden toys etc. They're really missing the outside world. Feel so guilty that they get to see their friends walking past but can't go out themselves. Think we're all starting to break a little
 
I found that some days I was enjoying this whole homeschooling lark but I'm starting to crack. Trying to parent, study, homeschool and look after the house is proving increasingly difficult and my kids are bouncing off the walls, my eldest keeps asking when "this nasty bug" is going to go away because he doesn't like having to avoid other people and misses his grandparents/extended family. It's tit but I definitely don't want someone to clap for me :rolleyes:

It’s the sheer sensory overload for me. Constant noise and no escape from it. I’d love to take my walk alone. 😂 if I go to the loo I’m followed. I know for sahm it’s like this all the time and I’ve always said I wouldn’t be able to cope with that either. It’s just the way my brain is I need some silent time.
