This new normal gives me a new challenge as a mother. Who else here are experiencing it. Especially when you have 2 or more children. They keep asking left and right. It stressed me out but i'm trying to do my part in anyway i can. I just hope this pandemic will leave the soonest as possible. 😫

Yes brother, I anticipated this situation but I don't expect it's more difficult than I think. Now I scheduled my children on how they can answer their modules. I divided them so they can concentrate on their papers. The two would be in the morning while the other two would be in the afternoon. I paired the high school aNd both the elementary. Luckily I don't worry the eldest, she's independent. 😉
I do not really have any issues if it comes to answering questions in concern of the pandemic. I gave up on the news months ago. Our lockdown didn't take long and we were still allowed to go outside. Only in the shopping hours shopping was for elderly people only. It's fine with me and if that's forever it's fine too but that rule was oy for a short moment. If you ask me no one except me keeps social distance and face masks are rarely used and if 80% use them in the wrong way or a dirty one.
My children have had homeschooling from half March till May (next Summer holidays started) and since September 1st school started again. The school doesn't seem to care, neither do the teachers.
I read the news rarely and do not see any news at all. If I read it out loud for the children. We are basically only interested in the news about crossing the borders. We live in the country and always mind our own business. We do not miss visitors, never visit anyone so life didn't change. Shops and restaurants are open.
Some shake hands and so do I. I am not afraid of this virus, never had the flu although my immune system has many issues. We all take vitamins, iodine, and that's it.
We don't live in the same country. What country are you from anyway? Seems you are not alarmed with this pandemic. In our case, we live in a village in which we are comfortable doing our normal ways the same as you do. But on a larger matter like education, we still follow the national protocols. So whether we like it or not we need to follow it. I for one am not afraid of the virus either, we do not take vitamins, just washing of hands and proper hygiene will do because we are loaded with natural vitamins, and from vegies, we harvest from our own gardens.
I live outside a village on the country. We do not have own vegetables or fruit have done without water for the biggest part of the summer. We take vitamins because we can never eat such high amounts to guarantee at least 1500 my of Vitamin C a day and the iodine amount needed.
Only face masks in public transport (I don't use it my children do) and shops are required but most do not care if people don't use it or use it wrong. Actually covering the mouth is asked which means it can be something else too.
Cabs, driving schools, schools, etc all do as they like. If you ever read one of my posts you know I am Dutch.
I see. Sorry I haven't. I'm just won'dring why your country is so lax the way you portray the activities in your place. 🤔
Perhaps because people do not drop dead by bunches and feel this is the way of the government to control them? Most of us know no one who is infected or died of the virus. We do not know why. There's no extra hygiene, you can disinfect your hands before you enter a shop but we all doubt it helps. To us social distance might do the trick? The governments want group immunity. The only way to achieve that is by infected people living on. It over 50% is young, doesn't feel ill the immunity is near. Those who were ill are already immune and so is a part of the population anyway. With us some think children are because the had a certain vaccination (measles mumps and rubella). Everyone till 35 years old had it unless the parents refused it. If 60% is immune it'good enough. Viruses belong to life and we humans live with different SARS and corona viruses already. Perhaps Dutch people are in general too sober to panic.
I have always wanted to stay at home and spend time with my kids.. I'm a working mom and my husband stays at home with them. And somehow I feel a little envy with their father and sons bond.. 😁 Sana nga Lockdown ulit pero ang pangit naman may wish ng ganon.. Let's pray that this pandemic will soon end
We will be back to normal mommy. Don't worry, I'm sure your kids will miss you also. Try to be more darling to them whenever you come home. That way they can feel your love even in your absence.😊
We received new cases of local and community transmission in the province yesterday and work is suspended. Checkpoints are being set up again in the boundaries, sadly my eldest chose to stay with the oldies and we're locked in the city.. He called earlier informing us that they're okay, and he is so sweet asking me if we are fine.. I went emotional thinking that he's far from us. Let's continue to pray for this pandemic 🙏🙏
Ooh, that is sad but that is how we control the spread of the virus. Sadly we also have our first case in our village but the good news is she is negative . Remember I wrote on my article in pandemic survival, we have cases in here but from the residents who lived outside the province for work and came to their hometown as locally stranded individuals. And yes let's continue prY ing for this pandemic.
Good info
Oh my. I couldn't imagine how difficult it would be to handle the situation. This pandemic really challenged us to extend extra miles of patience. I hope you will 🤞
True sister. I'm glad we do not need to buy school things and spend money for their fare, foods, boarding and others but this new normal imprisoned us at home. This new generation kiddos are difficult to handle specially when they all do it at the same time. My ears will explode from their nonstop querries really.🤣
It's too challenging especially with a baby who will cry when you have to start the module with his older sibling..
Even I don't have a babe, my youngest is a nuisance to her siblings. She disturbs them so I need to divert her attention ending in carrying her in my lap or she will go outside and play. If it's like this everyday I don't like modular anymore.😅 carry on mothers. Keep fighting 🤣
So taking care of a child is so hard? I hope so too that this pandemic will just disappear, this instant, as in now. 🙁
I also wish that sis. We are all suffering in a different way. I am thankful however that we still eat three times a day.
Yah, we're still lucky, while some others really have nothing 🙁 di naman poreber may ayuda kasi 🙁. I wish I wish 😨
True sis.. There's a limit in giving subsidies. There is a possibility that our fund will dry out whether we like it or not.
Yah yah, let's just hope na makaya pa natin. If that happens we have no choice but to really look for a job, but how if some of the establishment in some place is already closed, pero wag naman sanang mangyari.
There is no problem for us about food in here. Only this situations like this modular and high fare price while submitting the module every week. Where will you get your money to pay your fare if you have no source of income🤔. My husband is still working and receives his salary but what if his only work will stop., haist. Panirang covid to oo..😅
So many problem, 🙁 why not try put a small sari sari store in your place? I think magandang business yun, kaso need ng madaming permit bago ka makasimula 😑. Panira talaga tong si covida na itey, si pa sya sumama kay leon, tapos lubog na nya self nya sa Pacific ocean 😅
🤣🤣🤣 oo nga. Kaasar. There are lot of stores in here. Individual business in here is hog raising.
As a mother I am also having a hard time because 6 months ng hindi nakakagala si anak 😄
My kids are starting their modular i missed to include it in my short post. 😅 Thats why i am stressed out. No problem for playtime. They are free to roam in here but since their modular started, they have to stay at home and we are all stucked in the house. 🤣
Oh. Your children are already studying. Oh well, that hard becaue all the responsibilities are yours.
True sis... I became a teacher of no profession in one glance🤣. I just came home from receiving my kid's modules in their school.
That's also the problem of my sister inlaws 😅 They dont know how to manage their time doing chores and at the same time teaching their kids tru modular
Whew! I think my age will be added shortly 🤣 I am trying to figure out how to do this without stressing myself.😅
You can do it Mommy
💪💪💪
Well, this is a challenge for mothers like you so you need loads of patience in order to survive. So with your kids, they need a mentor so they will be guided along the way for this new normal. Expect stressful days at first but surely you will be used to it in the following days.
