Boxing gloves. I can’t take hearing them complain about this one is pinching me and this one is pushing me. Get them both a set and let them go at it. They will wear each other out or knock them out. Either way I might finally get 5 minutes of quiet. 

Sounds exactly like my life. I didn't know my wife was already taping. 

I should be recording my house and putting that up for podcast. I can call it 16 hours of screaming. It can be a feel good podcast that you don't have to deal with these monsters. 

Is Lifehacker the new Gizmodo now that Gizmodo is the new political site? 

I thought nurses would be a safe if not expanding profession during this pandemic. My wife is a nurse and she told me that there are some local hospitals getting ready to lay off a bunch of them. It seems that hospitals fall into two groups, those taking care of COVID patients, and those with empty beds because no one…

How did you know she isn’t allowed in?

I’m protecting myself by not going and sending my wife instead.

Excuse me? To say that the parents are just facilitators in this is like saying that text book publishers are the real teachers in school. Teaching is passing the information on to someone in a way they understand and learn. I’m doing more than facilitating when I am explaining what’s going on and making sure they get…

Forget the kids, give me the bonus Tiger King. 

Well to be fair kids that go to school are getting their fair share of brainwashing, it just comes from the other side. 

Does your school use the text book publisher website by publishers like McGraw Hill? If you have access to that you might have better resources. 

Man did you hit a sore spot for me with the homework problems. I am helping my daughter who is in first grade so it’s not the work I am having trouble with, it’s the programs. I am spending more time trying to figure out how to submit the answers than we are doing the actual work. If my daughter is learning any skill…

I didn’t fall asleep until 2am last night but it was appreciated. I have been going to bed and waking up on the same schedule as my kids. It was nice to have a little time to relax and watch what I want to watch.

If you have the means another way could be to print out the letters on a sheet of paper and then tape it to the cookie sheet.

For everyone saying they can’t get it to work on Roku: You can’t go directly through the HBO apps. You have to use the Roku app. The shows show as free in there. There is no search option in the Roku app so finding your show can be a bit of a pain. The work around is to search for the show you want on the Roku main…

To watch in on Roku you have to go through the Roku channel. It sucks because the Roku channel doesn't have a search feature. The best way to do it is to search on the home screen and then when given the viewing options choose the Roku channel. 

My kids are burning their energy by fighting each other. Lots of calories burned by punching, pinching, pulling and then running away . 

I hear you. This blog is the closest thing I have to an adult around to let me vent and tell me I'm not alone.

This is a nice gesture. My wife is a nurse and at the beginning of all of this she was locked up in our bedroom to avoid exposing us. Now that there are multiple confirmed cases at her hospital and dwindling to no supplies she has taken more drastic measures. She has moved in with another nurse while this is going on…

Our kids’ teachers set up a google conference call last week where they could chat for a bit and see each other. There is also a group chat thing in the Google classroom app they use. Reading some of the kids’ comments was funny and needed in a time like this.
