Shelter in place/quarantine.. how are you doing?

Question

I have not left my house (minus the yard and walking the neighborhood) in over 3 weeks. I’m a teacher trying to teach from home and care for a 7 month old. My husband’s company is essential so he goes to his office for a couple of hours mon-fri. He luckily can practice social distancing and wears protective gear. He has done all our 2 grocery pick ups. I am getting cabin fever. How are y’all holding up?

Answer

My hubby is home until this is all over but I'm a nurse so I'm obviously still working. Hubby is going a little stir crazy and work is stressful for mama but we're hanging in there! Getting a lot done around the house

Answer

Terrible. I’m a sahm but not being able to leave at all really sucks. Especially when you’re home all day every day I go on my back deck just to get some relief

Answer

We are on day 21. I was a SAHM already, but we were very active going to parks, museums, family’s houses, play dates (I have a 3 year old too). It’s rough over here. Obviously my 7 month old doesn’t care, but my 3 year old doesn’t quite understand why we aren’t seeing anyone anymore. The concept of everyone is sick doesn’t make sense to him. So he has rough days with it. Their dad is still working, his job is “essential”. But they have to wear protective gear, and there is a nurse at the door when they walk in to take everyone’s temp, and then they have to wash their hands before entering the plant. He works with 200+ people a day so it makes me feel better they are taking these precautions. 
I’m honestly struggling with it because my family is missing everything. My 7 month old is sitting on her own, crawling and doing new things every day. I’m upset everyone has to miss out on her growing. We do FaceTime but obviously it’s not the same. By the time my baby can see family again, she will be walking or something. I cry about it almost daily. I also fear by the time this is over my 3 year old will be anti social and have trouble. I worry about so much.

Answer

Dying. I’m in same situation where I’m trying to teach while also taking care of an 8 month old. It’s a struggle!

Answer

I’m actually not minding the time at home. I’m just constantly upset/anxious about all the lives that will be lost.
I’m also working our coronavirus hotline from home, so that doesn’t help—as my mind is always on this virus.

Answer

Same I'm an art teacher trying to teach from home and take care of my 7 month old but I'm happy were healthy and safe and thankful to be able to spend time with him

Answer

It’s so hard! I’m a Vice Principal, so keeping up with my staff, students, parents, and an 8 month is soooo challenging. On the plus side, I’m thankful for this time with my son.

Answer

My job is considered essential but I’m exhausted 😩
