We actually "bonded" during these isolations. It’s honestly sad how little time we actually spend with them during school and extracurriculars normally..
How are those months "lost"? You’re never getting that time back with your kids...

Look, I love my kids to death, but this constant togetherness just isn't natural for me... I already spent a ton of quality time with them before all this started, so having them underfoot 24/7 feels like way too much...

Being trapped within four walls for two and a half months straight isn't living; it’s pure madness. It's an artificial environment stripped of those priceless, real-world experiences. A computer screen is not a life... These are massive chunks of real life being thrown away. This isn't living for them, and in terms of their development, it's a huge blow.

Mine are exactly the same! My youngest especially can't stand being cooped up—she's a total ball of energy!
Look, I love my kids to death and I make sure we get plenty of quality time together, but I really don't enjoy them climbing all over me just because they're bored out of their minds—and let's be honest, we're all bored...

I feel like I’ve wasted three whole months of my life stuck in these lockdowns… honestly, it’s hitting me so hard—especially being cooped up with the kids all day. At this rate, I can already see myself needing prescription anxiety meds just to get through the week…

I seriously don't get how nobody in Washington is considering the sheer damage this is doing to people. You'd think they'd try to ease things up or at least shorten the restrictions—unless, of course, their actual goal is to drive us all completely insane!
