We've got two at home doing online/virtual classes, and this is day four and five. They love distance learning and are exploring (hopefully!) new courses to take as they are finishing their work.

This person needs to stop talking so much and be more helpful to her kids and their teachers. I appreciate she has twice as many kids as we do, but she is basically saying let them grow up to be stupid and have no classes. Our kids' teachers are openly soliciting advice on how to make the classes more effectively, so perhaps she can put her selfie-cam down and talk to the teachers.

I guess this was supposed to be funny, but it's very, very sad. I am glad my parents weren't like her, and I hope our kids are glad we are their parents instead of someone like her.

Sorry, but this touched me in a different way.

As ritualistic over-complaining.

Again, it's a cultural thing.

It's like military. Morale is known to be bad when the soldiers stop bitching about the food.

I doubt she's serious, but if she is, she wasn't ready to be a parent. I homeschooled my kids and everyday was juggling classes, meals, and limited resources. Also, including play time and outings. And social time with friends. Did that for 10 years. Every day was a challenge for me, but moms are hard working and resilient. This stuff is the easy stuff

The hard part is the uncertainty, the fear, the social isolation. That is the real mental health challenge of our time
