Yeah there’s plenty of outdoor space. My worry is that I need to work. From home, thankfully, but it is non-optional. I work 50 hours a week as of right now.
She’s 4, so old enough to play on her own a bit, but when I’m around she is used to my 100% undivided attention. Like I’m literally playing games, telling stories, cooking with her, playing music and whatnot all of the time to make up for all the time I’m gone. It’s going to be a problem.
I feel you. This is a huge concern. I’m officially wfh starting Monday. My daughter is in daycare and I don’t know what the fuck I’m gonna do if they shut it down.
And yet both the schools my daughters go to and the one one of them works at are closed. Dunno about the rest first hand.
Start making a plan. The only reason I know my daughter’s school is closing is because I know a staff insider. They haven’t even told the parents yet.
PSA:
New thread for parents over here:
Do you have to work your hours during normal business hours or could you spread it out? Get up before her and get a couple hours in, get her playing and get another hour or two, take a break and some time with her, and so on… Maybe spread some work over the weekends, too?
Grunching, but Casinos are starting to shut down. I just got an email from Seneca Resorts and Casinos (Niagara Falls) that they are closing.
A lot of NH school districts are closing. Kind of surprising, honestly, with only 6 confirmed positive cases in the state (obviously lol at the confirmed number). Looks like at least some state and local govts are taking things seriously. Reason given for closing my daughters district was to help keep the peak as in control as possible in order to try and keep the healthcare system from getting overrun. At least somebody is paying attention.
My office just closed. All work from home effective immediately.
In my area the grocery stores in the poorer parts of town are fully stocked. I guess unsurprising since poor people didn’t have money to panic hoard.
Illinois schools donezo effective Tuesday.
He did mention restricting visits to nursing homes in his speech.
I went to the little local grocery store today, and although it was a little busier than normal, they had most things in stock except for sanitizing wipes. (Lower/middle class area where I live.)
Then went by one of the larger chains because I needed to pick up a package at the FedEx drop at the CS desk, and it was absolute madness inside. I didn’t look around at all because the CS desk is upfront, but every register looked open and had lines running up the aisles.
So a trump supporter hit me with this.
Norwegian Cruise Lines has cancelled all cruises worldwide. Six FLags is closing all parks. LEGO land closing all parks. Sea world closing all parks.
