Re: not coping

i heard they might be letting the primary school kids go back but i heavent heard much about high school kids just yet @Snowie even just a day or 2 a week would be good so they can see their friends and parents can have abit of a breather at home too.
i think i have this weekend off. or maybe just one event rather then 2 on both weekends. today and yesterday went quickly for the events though. i wish i could share here what we do but its to much of a giveway even if a few companies do similar.

Re: not coping

I am hoping the kids can go back to school @outlander , they are missing their friends and that interaction with other kids too.

Having this weekend not being as busy would be good for you hun. I know you cannot tell us but I do know how much effort and time you put in, so some time to yourself would benefit you.

Re: not coping

Hi @Snowie thanks for your help the other night. I’m sorry you feel like giving up on everything, so do I but we can’t we’re in this journey together and marathon runners don’t give up.

Heaps of love ;

Re: not coping

its been a long year for alot of kids i think @Snowie lots of upset routines especially for the younger kids who would normally have school and then sports as well. its hard going from being busy and active to now your not allowed outside.

i could be meeting up with a friend to have a look at her horse. shes been having some issues and is after a second eye so i offerred to come and watch for a while.

Re: not coping

No need to thank me @Eve7 we all need help at times and that is what we are here to do, to help each other through these difficult times.

@outlander that would be nice of you hun, to help your friend with her horse. I am sure your opinion is valued by your friend.

It is hard for the kids to go from sport and school to having to stay at home. Especially with all the lockdowns that are happening from it.
