Anyway- I think the shadchans son would be perfect for you- she sounded like she never even heard of the word corona!

Shhh...OP is that shadchan. She's trying to get the scoop on everyone.

Well, if all my kids would be married, I would also still be normal- obviously

Reminded me of:
Cleaning your house while the kids are growing, is like shoveling the snow while it’s still snowing!

Ah, yes, but the question is: Would that be because in order to get all of your kids married you must be normal, or because marrying off all your kids normalizes you and enables you to enjoy your empty nest in peace, with or without quarantine?
Alas, I am not crashing or plotzing, just posting long soliloquies on imamother and eating chocolate. I'd love to blame my messy house, lousy schedule, and rapidly diminishing chocolate stockpile on coronavirus, but it was like this before too. One of the advantages of working from home with lots of children, nothing REALLY fazes you anymore. (Doesn't make you more successful, but it does make you less fazed.)
It's a good thing I have another few years until we enter the shidduch parsha, that should be enough time for me to come up with a REALLY good alibi, and thanks to no mingling, there are no witnesses!

Neither. She’s able to stay normal because she’s in lockdown in an empty house with peace and quiet.

Your tone wasn't clear in the original post (at least, not on the heels of the "I crashed" thread).
AND, I think it is important that while we enjoy some laughs, we make it very clear to those whose toes we might be stepping on, that they are not outsiders and they are not inherently problematic just for feeling this way.
As for not normal, that's okay. No one ever accused me of being normal in the first place.

I’m completely normal, but my son’s only one. You’ll have to wait a while.

| So let those not normal ppl be meshadech with the same other not normal ppl! same thing!
And I hope you weren't serious.
You can't seem to fathom that there are real people out there who were on the wildest ride of their life and now it simply slowed down and they feel real relief right now and they are actually coping really well.

What about the theory that opposites attract? Like, if I’m ordinarily really crazy does that mean that I can get a really normal michuten?
