Moms, Dads, and their Sons

I just wanted to chime in that #parentinginapandemic is still super hard.

In case anyone had forgotten…

Day 2:Totally inspired by the innovations of projects we worked with today, sharing our passion and dreaming bigger!

Just received a 5 paragraph essay on why our #screentime restrictions are out of line from my almost 9th grader. Couldn’t be prouder💕 #ParentingInAPandemic

The Best Kind Of Dad.

I didn’t realize the only choices were

a) destroy relationships w family/in laws/childcare

OR

b) give up completely on trying to keep my kids safe

Silly me

Now what?

Back to school shopping should include #COVID19 at home tests. What are the best tests to have at home?

New yr to plan, reflect, give thx.🙏🏾 Still SO scared for our babes too young to get 💉. Lucky to have rapid tested negative as a fam pre-back-to-school/back-to-ICU tmrw. Thinking of all working parents, HCWs & teachers this week ❤️🙏🏾. #ParentingInAPandemic

No need to apologize at all! I welcome kids voices in my classes, sometimes i call my 5 year old to say hello to everyone, so that all the parents in my class know that it's part of our life.. #AcademicChatter #parentinginapandemic

I apologize to all of the professors who only get my black screen during class but it’s because I’m sitting on my coffee table. It’s the only spot in my apartment where I can simultaneously watch my laptop and stop my toddler from destroying the apartment.

I did it. My 5yo threw a giant 30-minute tantrum and I didn’t yell back once. When can I expect to receive my Nobel Peace Prize? #momlife #parentinginapandemic

#parentinginapandemic

It’s possible to truly love and adore your children and also to really need a break from them.

Today's #WorkFromHome : 2 computers for analysis/writing + a 2 year old deciding to have a barnacle day. Trying our best to make it work... Academic Mom, PhD Parents in Academia #AcademicChatter #parentinginapandemic

So tired today I feel a bit sick... How are you??! 😫 #parentinginapandemic #homeschoolingissuchfun

THIS. The need for rest is especially pressing when one is operating in a state of constant high alert – during, for example, a global pandemic – when the conditions of everyday life can change from moment to moment, and where the mere act of existing feels suspiciously like work

Indeed. Particularly when trying to achieve a healthy work life balance #ParentingInAPandemic

Just when we thought the hell that is virtual school was over, my second grader’s class is home this week as a COVID precaution. And they’re learning how to play the recorder…

Me trying to work and parent during a pandemic. Academic Mom, PhD Academic Chatter™ #parentinginapandemic #academicmama

My two year old just drops everything and runs in the opposite direction while screaming until he hits something. Honestly not far from how I feel some days. I wonder what he’d think if I just joined him… 😅 Academic Mom, PhD #ParentingInAPandemic #toddlermom

Peak “pandemic wave five” level achieved: walking on the treadmill with HICS meeting zoom while live-streaming ACIP. Not shown: all 3 kids in room with me!! #ParentingInAPandemic

Parents of kids under 5, how are you holding up? #ImmunizeUnder5s #ParentingInAPandemic

Day 2 of spread & scale complete - 11 projects developing with huge potential, and the possibility for several teams to work together to achieve amazing things. Thank you Ruth Jordan Cardiff and Vale University Health Board for bringing #SpreadAcademyWales and to Billions Institute!

Me prepandemic: I can’t be away from my kids for even a night, I’d miss them too much.

Me now: Hey babe, think we can drop the kids off at your parents house for like 2 months?
