I keep forgetting to check in over here and on my BMB. 🤦♀️ I have major baby fever and have for several months. But MH is pretty sure he doesn't want another kid. And this pandemic has me thinking it wouldn't be a good idea anyway. 2 kids is double the cost to raise and deal with. I really need my bff to get pregnant so I can snuggle a baby.

Hugs My co-worker's wife is pregnant with twins, come up to MA and you can have double the snuggle!

I’m around. Tapatalk usually puts a blue line (night mode) for new posts. DH is on his ship so I’ve been solo parenting for 7+ weeks. Not sure when he’ll return but when he does, we’ll only have 3 weeks with him because he’ll have to go back to quarantine for 2 weeks before heading back to his ship. Schools out for pre-k. bellatrix, I’m sorry for the divorce. I hope you’re holding up.

Yesterday was officially the first day of summer break. DS has been done for the last two weeks on schoolwork but last day was Friday & nothing new for people that have to catch up. We don't have much plans. Today is super hot, we're staying inside.

Mine is 10, almost 11. Quarantine sucks, but everyone knows that.

Hi! I technically go here. I usually introduce myself every time we move to a new site and have every intention of posting, but then I don't. I'm active on my bmb. I have a 6 year old. She was in kindergarten this year and she is pissed she didn't get to finish out the year in school. Just ask her, she'll tell you it wasn't fair and she is pretty sure that the 1st day of 1st grade is going to include a "kindergarten rodeo" that was supposed to happen the day they closed in March. Pandemic 2020 has been a real blast with 2 adults trying to work from home and a 6 year old complaining about being bored. It's been worse since school finished. She's at Camp Grandma for 2 weeks right now, so our house has been crazy quiet...and quite honestly, boring!

I have the opposite problem, DS doesn't want to go back to school ever now. 🤷♀️ Happy to "see" a new face around these parts!

Another month down, how is everyone doing? We've been having a lot of only child issues. While she is perfectly capable of playing on her own, she doesn't want to. Social distancing is kicking her butt. She's a very social child and needs that interaction. She's been able to do gymnastics camp which has helped. She was excited for school to start, but we just got the first 3 weeks are virtual announcement and that's likely to get extended, so she's pretty bummed.

DS will hole himself up in his room, has no fs to give about seeing any friends, & prefers to not go back to school.🤣 When did he become a teenager?!

We are doing virtual camp and they are sending us the activities they would have done in kits so we just pull out a kit, and do said activity! DS is only in pre-K and wants to see friends but he is loving the pjs all day life! My developmentally delayed brother is up with us so we have a full house! I’m in NH and worried they will do in-school learning and then be shutdown by mid October and I think that “tease” will be worse than the staying virtual. Why is this so hard? Plus DS needs speech because he has mild childhood apraxia of speech.

Oh, hi. I posted on this board once or twice a few boards ago but haven't been here in ages. I sure could use some support from fellow only-child moms though.
I have a 9 year old, she will be 10 in November. She handled everything pretty well back in the Spring but the longer this goes on this worse her mental state gets. She was previously very social and loved playing soccer and tennis. Now it's a struggle to get her off the couch and iPad and she's so depressed. She's gotten very attached to me and is super emotional which really isn't like her. She is signed up for virtual school in the fall but honestly I am wondering if that was a mistake. I am going to let her (really make her) get back into sports. Tennis and soccer start again next month and she also wants to try volleyball. Is it a good idea? Probably not but what we are doing is absolutely not sustainable.
Anyway one thing is for sure. Time to clean out the toy room completely! If a pandemic won't get DD interested in her toys absolutely nothing will. Anyways, this sucks. I think it's particularly hard on only children.

Were you under a different screen name at the last place? I can definitely relate but in different ways. DS has never been very social so this is just aiding in his ways. He would prefer very much not to go back. Which is hard for me bc he needs friends at some point but gdi, we're in a pandemic. The struggle is def real & unique with only kiddos.

NamasteBirches, no I've had the same screen name for over a decade now. I did drop the numbers in my screen name at some point but otherwise the same. I definitely haven't been super active since the bump. The pandemic has given me a lot more free time! I'm sorry your son is struggling. It's so hard!
