LOCKDOWN REAL LIFE

So how many of us have been caught up with the lockdown madness of believing all the ‘happy’ posts on social media. But, is that lockdown real life?

“Look at what we are doing! I am nailing this working from home/homeschooling aren’t I the most amazing mummy ever!”

Go on be honest how many times have you scrolled social media and then tossed your phone on the sofa and thought how come they can do it and I cant?

Let me tell you a little secret… its all crap!

Yes they are probably doing all those things, but they are not showing the meltdown after of the kids throwing the craft across the room or someone sitting on the ground during their lovely outdoor walk refusing to walk any further…. LMAO, you know we all experience these kinds of walks.

Lockdown Real Life

Here is a snippet of what is really happening during lockdown real life here at TBM family HQ:

1. My kids have had so much screen time on their iPads I am sure I will need to surgically remove their devices when they go back to school.
2. They have been robbing biscuits and copious amounts of sugary snacks from the pantry every time I jump on a Zoom call and then refusing to eat their dinner 🙂
3. They have had some almighty fights – some days we have resembled fight club… and we all know ‘there ain’t no rules in fight club’
4. We have had to agree to just having just one PJ day a week as 7 days a week without getting dressed was getting a bit ridiculous even by my lockdown standards
5. We have attempted many activities craft, obstacle course and all of which 90% of them have ended in someone crying or storming off in a mood, or the kids shouting at each other.

That my friends is real life!

This is a crazy time in everyone lives:
We have had lots of fun
We have had lots of fights
I have drunk lots of Gin

But, we are all still talking, still cuddling on the sofa together and still fighting because we are a family of 5 going through this together with the best way we know-how, and that is all you can do!

Ignore what people say, ignore the bullshit photos on social media!

As long my family are fed, water, safe, warm and happy then that is all that matters…. everything else can kiss my ass!
