I actually see how everything is exactly as it should be! Bh we didn’t extend our house like we’ve been dreaming- would have been much more difficult to clean without my cleaning help

Bh we live in the area we live instead of moving- it really worked out amazing for my kids here in so many ways during this time!

Bh we didn’t have much money before corona- it wasn’t such a hardship to have to suddenly do without!

Bh a few of my kids were going through difficult times in school this year- it was heaven sent for school to suddenly be over and be able to learn from home.

Love your positivity.

So you mean that if 30 years ago you would have known about the pandemic and lockdown you would’ve done things differently? Please share

Sorry , Im confused

From the first several posts in this thread it sounded like regrets in general...

The only thoughtsnon pandemic perse, is I should of pushed my husband to design the websites he was dreaming about for years.

He predicted something like this for the past decade.
Not a pandemic, but tremendous dependence on the internet

What an interesting question, OP!

I can think of two things: better prepared my kids for what's coming, and done some work on our home.

This has been really hard on the kids because we had so many big plans over this stretch of pre-pesach through the summer. It's not that being home has been so bad, but all the cancelled plans and disappointments has been rough on them.

As for our home, we're a decent-sized family in a very small apartment. 5 years would have given us enough time to put aside money for small repairs and renovations that would have helped make this period so much easier. I'd also have taken better advantage of time with the kids out of the house to fully clean, clear, and organize in preparation for lockdown.

Oh well.

I wouldn't have changed any decisions I controlled. BH I like my life. Lockdown and all

I have a med malpractice case which disabled me. Of course I would have changed that.
