The Summer of 2020 – A Note to Future Parents

IVF Before and After Podcast

Kay shares a reflective and entertaining account of the summer of 2020 in this episode.

For everyone, the world has been different and if you have children it has been not only different but exhausting as parents moved to fulfil the role of teachers when we all had to stay at home.

When your children are all grown up with little ones of their own and they reflect on the challenges of the long summer holiday from school your reply will undoubtedly be along the lines of…..you don’t know how lucky you are in 2020 …….

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• All we had was Netflix and a colouring book.
• We couldn’t make anything because someone stole all the flour.
• There were no macaroni necklaces because the pasta had disappeared
• We couldn’t have a night off because everywhere was closed
• We only saw other people on a Thursday when we clapped for the nurses.
• There were no TV soap programmes imagine that!
• You were bored, hot and still hungry despite having 14 breakfasts
• A fella was on the telly every morning attempting to keep you fit but you only watched 2 minutes before you put sponge bob on.
• We had to attempt to teach you printing out endless sheets at midnight for you to say you didn’t understand.
• We had to give up our phones so you could facetime your mates.
• We dug out the paddling pools and got stung by wasps.
• We had no money but ordered loads of stuff from Amazon and playgrounds were taped off like crime scenes……

BEST MOMENTS

‘We had to attempt to teach you, with you only giving it 4 seconds before saying we weren’t doing it like Mrs Jones’

‘We redecorated the gardens and the bedrooms and forgot what a bedtime was’

‘We gave in to technology far too much’
