Got an email from my kids' daycare today that they are looking to figure out how to open on June 1st with class sizes of 10 max.
Immediate excitement shifted too... uh, yeah, no way. First off, I'm too uncertain about the virus still, too nervous about not knowing how strangers and their kids are managing their hygiene, and frankly, we're saving $3K a month by them staying home, and that's kind of nice. Don't have to dip into savings much, gives my wife a bit of a cushion as she evolves in a new job (recruiter, 100% commission based) and she's at least 4-5 months away from income really starting. We expected this, just didn't expect this crisis.
I'm so torn, truly. I'm getting angry lately that my kids are without their friends and teachers, and that their behavior is regressing, they're acting out more, etc. They don't have any structure.
But summer is almost here, we're getting a fence soon and then some more backyard updates and outside time will be a lot easier.
Life would be better if they were in daycare, but not if it risks their life or ours. :(

- Hear you on the no structure . We’ll get thru this. Better safe than having them get illumbee54
- We are keeping the kids home from school until both of us need to go back to work. Schools open on the 9th of June here in Melbourne, I might see how it goes.slappy
