My daughter's morning greetings through the years:

Age 3 through 11: Morning daddy! {smile/hug}
Age 12: Hey. Mornin' {yawn/smile}
Age 13: Can I have my phone? {frown/hand out}

My parenting win for the day
13-yo: Ugh. So annoying. My friends text on either Discord or iMessage. Only one friend texts me back on both apps.
Me: So they're bitextual?
13-yo:...

13-yo: [smile] Ok, that was pretty funny.

Baked a sponge cake for a trifle with my girls over lunch break. #ParentingInAPandemic #ParentingInLockdown #academicparent

Listening to the always amazing @LDamour on the @nytimes Book Review podcast talking about: Parenting When the Family Is Locked Inside #COVID2019 #ParentingInAPandemic

Week 3 of #COVID19 shut-in. Morning started great: kids set up stores, were each other's customers. Then got bored. Eventually 8-year old put up this sign: "Need costomers." 5-minutes later: "Will shut down if no costomers." Finally: "Closed." Tears.

Three weeks ago my wife and I were the only ones that used laptops at home. Then #COVID19 required us to homeschool our three kids AND work from home. I pulled two dead laptops from our attic and turned them into Chromebooks. #Reuse #ParentingInAPandemic #SWTech

Woe to the children on #quaranteam who ask to help w urgent physical task of the day, but grow quickly bored & ask to play outside; their mother, being tired of them, agrees; but then finds them soaking & muddy an hr later after they found the garden hose. #ParentingInAPandemic
