To all my mommy and daddy friends out there who have been working from home, parenting and attempting to keep education in the mix, I have only 1 question for you: HOW THE FUDGE ARE YOU DOING THIS?? First of all, kudos for the attempt to doing it all. You are incredible, strong and amazing. Your perseverance is admirable and you are an awesome parent. Second of all, are you freakin’ nuts?? I’ve been chatting with you during this month, why in the world are you trying to do more than you need to? I am friends with a bunch of overachievers for sure. You’ve made time for yoga, baking bread from scratch, taking the kids out for bike rides, delivering home cooked meals to family members, sewing masks, keeping the kids on virtual extracurricular activities and the list goes on and on. If I have learned anything in the past week is that lowering standards and expectations for self-preservation is the key to survival.
