March \/ April \/ May 2020.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It’s a weird time. Loads of social media is full with posts about learning new skills, making bread and how bored everyone is. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
I’m one of the lucky ones; my job functions fully from home and as I write, we have been for nearly 2 months. So I’m totally not complaining, the kids are with their mum Monday – Thursday evenings so most of the week I get to fully concentrate on getting work done, and there is only one day a week of Dad’s Lockdown School (DLS).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In the first week of lockdown I had them for 3 days, so DLS was in full swing, and it was the most stressful 3 days of my life. I had client calls, team meetings and a 10 year old that just didn’t want to concentrate on anything. This was at the start; when we thought we had to be full-on teachers. Thankfully we settled on a different pattern; like I said, I am one of the lucky ones.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Anyhow, my heart and admiration goes out to anyone struggling at the moment, especially single parents. It’s not going to get much harder than this. We got this.
