My husband can now work from home full time forevermore. His office realized they don’t really need people on site all the time.

Spent so much time with my toddler and see a big difference. He was previously approved for PT and I don’t think he’ll need it anymore because we’ve been doing so much work on our own.

Spent two months just being with my family and we all learned so much about each other. My children had two months without the pressure of school. I got to spend lots of time in nature watching it begin to bloom.

I always knew how cute my toddler was but this really showed me his cute personality! At first I was wondering how we will spend an entire day together EVERY single day alone but now I was able to send him to a small backyard day camp and I couldn't stop crying that I left him... Missing him tons.
also learnt how well I can clean my bathroom, saved $ on cleaning help for a while.

My toddler got to bond with her grandparents and they taught her to speak(before you all panic, we had moved in with them and got stuck quarantining there)

Honestly, I like when they check. I had shailos with my nails last month after the mikva which stressed me out. If I had them checked I would have felt more reassured, or she would have caught problems.

I toilet trained my 3 year old. I bonded more with my hisband and discovered how eye opening sunrise can be without rushing to work.

I'm trying hard to come up with something.
My toddler who stays home with me had full time company, does that count?

I have a toddler in gan (daycare) and we were getting colds all the time. Since March we've only had two colds.

Best thing for me was/is being an essential worker. I couldn’t stay home! Thank gd I have to go in! Second best (very close second) is the city’s regional enrichment program for kids of essential workers that has provided ‘school’, socialization, physical activity for my 5 year old, for free. This has been amazing for her and our family.

We bh weren't effected financially. Plus we had an additional income (no, not the stimulus check). We can finally pay tuition and rent ON TIME! BH. Really thank Hashem every day for that

My cousin was told to go unemployment so she applied for SNAP benefit. After 2 weeks her boss told her that he'll start paying once again. She was nice and called up the office to discontinue her benefits. The rep told her, you're in the system already, you'll be getting benefits for the next year.
