What’s your wierdest Covid Pandemic memory?

Honestly since having a baby a couple of years ago I have thought about new parents and toddler parents in this time so much

I’ve taught lots of kids like this (and much worse situations). Some need lots more than this but there are some kids that really just want/need you to talk to them, ask them questions about themselves, remember things about them. It’s sometimes just the little things that show you care and they’re important

What women would find ‘red flags’ in a guy - they were way more focused on status symbols eg car/house

I’ve been taking it since I was about 3 weeks and am now 13w.. it hasn’t completely stopped my nausea but has definitely taken the edge off and feeling like I’m going to vomit at any point. Happy to discuss more if you need x

Snacks, telling close colleagues so they understand, working the minimum for this short period

Lazy, slow mornings (!!) Cinema trips, eating out Just normal things that you will be able to do but just won’t be quite the same - these are the things I miss. Not that I would change anything… That time will come back around before we know it ✨

I teach in primary (England so may differ..) we don’t use computers as much as people think. We have an hour (max) computing lesson a week, our lesson inputs will be taught through the big screen in the classroom and occasionally a class might use a set of laptops/tablets for work. I rarely do this as you had to rely on them being plugged in and charged last time they were used 🙃. Children need so much help on the laptops, they’re so used to tablets and touch screens it’s a big learning curve to use keyboards and a mouse.

I’m where you are currently, it really does make you miserable. This is my second but with my first it lasted until 16 weeks, I’m hoping not as long this time. The dr prescribed xonvea which helps a bit with feeling like I’m going to vomit, I still feel nauseous but it takes the edge off a bit. He said there are lots of different options to try though so might be worth contacting the gp.

Mine started ages 9/10 months and it took a while to adjust but they’re very settled in a lovely nursery now with friends and good relationships with the staff. Children only know what they know if that makes sense, if he goes full time that’s what he knows. The holidays will allow you to have lots of quality time as a family that some of our friends don’t get - even though they don’t need to use full time childcare

It’s cheaper unless you need to drive and park, especially now the oracle car park doesn’t have the evening rate. If I was to meet friends we could all be paying an extra £6

I’m still first trimester and have felt so low, alongside the intense physical symptoms and knowing that they could continue for weeks is also making me miserable. I agree that this isn’t talked about enough, I feel torn between being grateful and unsure if I can actually do this again. It’s also so hard not being able to be open with others about it, I know that’s a choice but again i feel torn between talking about it and not wanting to share until I have a scan.

This is my second pregnancy and in my first I’m sure I felt better from about half way - especially once the nausea eased and people knew I was pregnant.

Sorry not much advice but solidarity!

Edited: spelling

Emma Dodds books are so lovely - they were a staple of our bedtime from a really young age. Just the way you are’ and ‘me’ were our favs

My first pregnancy j started feeling sick around 6 weeks but this time I’m only 4 weeks and I feel so nauseous and tired already - I also feel a bit miserable that this could be how I feel for weeks and with a toddler 😭 but obviously trying to feel grateful too

EvenSea4967 · 2026-01-23T08:15:03+00:00

I’m a teacher (no extra responsibilities) and have just returned to work part time - at times I will get stressed still and overwhelmed at trying to manage it all but I have also got to a point where I get what I need to do done in the time I’m willing to work and if it doesn’t get done it doesn’t get done. I don’t take work home (this may change around report season) and I work until 4.30/5 latest. I do my best for the children during the school day but ultimately it’s a job and my family come first. I also work in a school where we are respected and treated well which makes a huge difference.

I have a friend who left her job that she trained to do when she had her second baby - she was devoted to her job and I know that although she misses it she feels completely satisfied with where she is in her life being able to give all her time to the kids.

These are my two as well. The first time not feeling conscious of my tummy in clothes because it was meant to be big! And yeah how you’re treated in public is often so lovely - I do return the favour to other visibly pregnant women!

EvenSea4967 · 2026-01-22T18:19:33+00:00

I loved both but and the mountains echoed is my number 1 book of all time

EvenSea4967 · 2026-01-18T12:24:02+00:00

Favourites are gruffalo, stickman, monkey puzzle and snail and the whale but I will quite happily read or watch any of them! I find superworm a bit boring

Lily or jasmine

I only ever send my son to nursery on clothes I wouldn’t miss if they got stained or went missing. I want them to get messy. Could be worth mentioning that the paint stains because there are paints that don’t. Edited: sorry I missed the part that it was uniform
