I have relatives who grew up on a farm. Their jobs and their parents' jobs were at home on the farm, and they all worked together. It was something I was always envious of, although almost everything else about farm work is tough.
Now many of us might have a chance to live similarly. The schools will eventually reopen, but in the meantime many of us are working at home with our families nearby. There is a greater sense of family connectedness, and less peer connectedness. I actually think that is a good trade-off because spending too much time with people who are similar to you in age and interests causes some social skills to atrophy.
We can relearn to live how most people in history have lived.
- bargl 6y agoThis has been one of the positive notes of the 'Rona for me. Being home with my kids so much during the school year. Helping them with homework when I got the chance. I feel like I've seen my wife more than since we met. It's been awesome in some ways. Obviously some issues with kids and work but I have a great team and company. They understand.
