Disengaging

Hey guys,

Due to the pandemic, the SKs have been home since March 2020. It's really frustrating having them here all the time. My country is back to lock down and state of emergency so I have to stay home. This morning I disengaged by just pulling the covers over my head and stayed in bed so I wouldn't have to deal with them. My SO was surprised I didn't get up as I am an early bird but I just didn't feel up to it.

I do this too just whenever everything feels like too much.  Let your SO make breakfast, etc.  Stay in, read a book.  Relax and take care of you.

When I say StepTalk is a much needed platform I really mean it.

I feel this. I’ve been in my room all morning “disengaging”. My SD stayed home from school due to a reason i think is stupid. Husband is at work and I just can’t deal. I will admit that it is really frustrating tho.

You won't believe how therapeutic a few uninterrupted hours are. Yes the frustration has multiplied with the pandemic and lockdowns. I hope you got the time you needed and the frustration eased
