186momx- will they do curbside? That’s what we do. Or delivery, but I swear at least a third of the time they deliver us the wrong order, so we do prefer takeout.
mommyatty, rere lots of restrictions here too but the popular spots were just overrun with people and the weather was rainy so everyone waiting to get in was hovering under the pop up covers so the pictures just looked like mobs of people. I'm guessing we could get take out from our normal couple places without problems especially we called it in early and tried to eat by 5.
We have to stay in phase 1 for 21 days without a significant increase in cases otherwise we can't move to phase 2 which is daycare/camps and if the numbers go too high we can get put back into stay at home.
Both big summer camp providers city and park district announced that camp registration will open June 8th and camps will start June 22nd but this is only if we move to phase 2 on time. They stated camps will be significantly smaller and they expect them to fill quickly.

mae0111 I feel like I could have written a lot of your post. Only difference being that DH is hands on with the kids and is actually patient with them helping him in projects. But DS is starting to struggle like your DD2. As for getting a break, can your parents help you out a little more? If they are able too of course. One of the biggest reasons we live where we do is so that grandparents are close. MIL has always watched our kids and we have started sending the kids over daily again. We were surviving with all of us being home, but survival mode can only last for so long. More help from them is only temporary. I wouldn't hesitate to get a sitter for a few days a week either if your parents aren't an option.
mommyatty fingers crossed the layoffs don't affect you and your department. I would be a nervous wreck too.
erinshelley21, I feel bad asking for more than I’m getting because my mom still works full time. It’s great when my dad jumps in since he’s retired, but recently my mom will stop by on her way home to pick up DD1, drive 30 mins home, hang out with her and give her dinner, then drive 30 mins back here to drop her off and 30 mins back home again. It’s a lot. I take them up on it if they offer but I try not to ask too much.
Not as serious as all of your vents. But someone who is very vocal and strict about social distancing on FB is also posting about traveling to her lake house. Traveling is not illegal, but it is strongly discouraged by the phase that we are in. So I just feel like she is a hypocrite. I wouldn't feel that way if she hadn't been so vehement in her previous posts and then blithely posted her vacation like NBD.
waverly, there's a mom on my street that has 2 kids, they get on well with my kids. I was hoping that we could socially distance together, but she told me in no uncertain terms that the kids could not even ride bikes together.
FF to this week... governor has very conservatively started opening up, parks, beaches, most business are still closed. I assumed that we would continue to socially distance. They've decided that they are FLYING TO ORLANDO for vacation in 2 weeks, so it's a-ok to play with my kids now. I'm a little loose with the COVID rules right now (of course wearing masks in public places, trying to socially distance, but have definitely had workers in my house since we kind of needed a kitchen, etc...) and even I'm not getting on a plane for a good long time.
