WFH w/ kids is so difficult bc of the constant noise. There's no quiet esp. since they don't nap anymore. They're @ that age where they just repeat the same word 100x & ask 1M questions.

My anxiety is through the roof. I need quiet time to recharge & that doesn't exist anymore.
It's only 9am, we've only made it through getting dressed and starting the first school assignment & it's sounding out letters and reading phonemes. But of course he's 6 so there's fart noises & random mouth noise & squeaking (?! WHHHHYYYYY)
Then the little brother has found every too that makes sound and is playing with it IN MY EAR!

WHHHHYYYYY?!

I really miss personal space. And silence. And a desk that isn't mysteriously sticky.

Why are kids always sticky?! I spend 82% of my day cleaning them...
I'm not WFH, I'm surviving constant anxiety & trying to appear well adjusted 4 my kids so they have some form of normalcy & source of peace & calm in this crazy era.

I adore them & want to do my best but it's also incredibly taxing.
