Parenting in Lockdown
We're all in this together.
1# Importance of a business call
My 7 y.o. put on a suit for his class Zoom this morning. My wife told me I needed to go see it so I popped my head in to grab a pic. He was concerned I was going to interrupt him and flashed me the “I’m on a call hand signal.” It took everything I have not to bust out laughing. pic.twitter.com/lBJgkuyDRh

2# Amazing accomplishment
Today I worked from home, ran 10 miles, homeschooled my kids, cleaned the house, made a delicious dinner, and got my kids to bed early. It’s amazing what you can accomplish when you lie.

3# Disney magic
I don’t know why people say having a dog prepares you for having a kid because my dog has never wanted to watch Frozen 47 days in a row.

4# Testing yourself
Great news I got a 100 on my son's geometry test.

5# The irony
Today our 5yo is wearing a shirt that says “Genius”, but he put it on backwards, so yes, homeschooling is going great.

6# Invisible family members
After folding all of the clothes I can only assume that I have 7 children and two husbands that I was not previously aware of.

7# Trying our best
When my son failed a math test before March 1, 2020:

“Did you not study? Are you not paying attention in class? Do you need a tutor?”
When my son fails a math test today:
“Welp, buddy, we did our best.”

8# Little slaves
Wanted to call my daughter to come all the way downstairs to put on the light for me here in the study, then I remembered how mad that made me feel as a kid.

So I called her to ask a question, and told her to switch on the light on her way out.

9# Vicarious living
I was living vicariously through my 4yo’s Barbie dolls because they were always doing something awesome but now she’s pretending they’re in lockdown too so even that’s ruined.

10# Free range parenting
When this pandemic is over, my wife and I plan to start free-range parenting, just to free ourselves from being within range of the kids.
