There is no doubt that parenting through the COVID-19 pandemic has been a struggle to each and every one of us. Working parents, in particular working mothers, have especially suffered a hard hit as our governments and other systematic powers determine what the best approach is while Coronavirus continues to hit us, physically, emotionally and mentally.
In this episode, I share with you my personal experience of the phases I have overcome, and am still overcoming, throughout this pandemic. Additionally, I also discuss the plans (or lack thereof) when it comes to our kids potentially going back to school in the fall and what this may look like for us working parents.
