Ais is finding school tough going. But fair play to her, she gets up every morning without a grumble, and all of her teachers say that she is working hard and all of her marks are very consistent.
G is tired cause of the overtime. But he's okay and catching up with naps in the afternoon.
Why's she finding school tough? Socially or academically?
Glad G is able to catch up on a nap!

Because of the last 2 years it's been very difficult to settle down. When she turned 13 she started in secondary school and they had 6 months getting used to the routine, etc. Then, bam! everything changed. They worked from home, which meant Aisling did need to be up until around 8. When she goes to school we have to be up much earlier. (6.30 - 6.45). Now Aisling would rather work from home, and meet up with friends at the weekend.
It has been so tough for all our young people. I think they've had it hardest really with all this covid stuff. They've had all the normal secondary stuff, then changing, then uncertainty, then more change - exams/no exams etc with no real understanding of how they are expected to cope.... They are amazing.
I can understand that she'd rather have more of a lie in!

I think they have shown leadership to the so called adults around them. They have had the rug pulled from under them and they can still smile at the little things. Sometimes I'm in awe of what they're achieved through this whole pandemic.
Totally agree.

Welcome to our new normal. 2 years of this is just the start and to be fair the people most able to adapt are our children. Every part of their lives involve change of one kind or another as they grow up cos that’s what childhood is. The uncertainty is caused by adults who don’t know any other way and until the teenagers of today become adults in a position to influence where we go from here we’ll just have to go on improvising.

That is a very good way of looking at things. Yes, they're used to change. But I think I forgot to look at it that way around. Thanks Stella.
How are you today lovely? You been doing anything nice?
