Anyone else worried about a lockdown???

I mean it’s great, if it’s going too happen. It’s gonna be so hard to stay indoors with a 1 year old, we love our walks and she goes straight too sleep on our walks.

We won’t be able too do it, only walk round our garden (which I’m grateful we have) it’s going too be so hard. I’m a key worker, but when I’m at work, our parents help with childcare, but with a possible lockdown, they won’t be able to help out, which means me either doing my nights and then have LG with no sleep, or to stop work.

My husband has said about staying at his mums, which I was straight up NO, but now I’m thinking, she’s got a much bigger house and garden, which would be great, but I just can’t do that.

We’ve come to stay at my parents. It’s a lot easier although I don’t have children yet I’m 36+6. They have a bigger garden and more space and it means we can all help each other out, take it in turns cooking, we even played bingo on Saturday night which turned out to be quite fun. It’s definitely made isolating easier and I’m less anxious. Stay safe x

I hope your coping ok. I'm glad we have had some good weather to get out in the garden but i do think my 14 month old is getting bored, even though I try to vary the toys we get out, he had only been at nusery 3 weeks and just getting in to the routine of it and now we will be back to square one!

We are getting there, like you say we are thankful for the lovely weather. We have been in the garden, playing with grass and I done a bowl of water with bubbles, with her bottles and dummies in, which she loved. We are going out for 1 walk a day, which is good for the mental health, I would do completely mad if we couldn’t do that.

But LG is starting to get bored aswell, but I try too do different thinks every day, so not all the same.

But is it so hard x

Before this lockdown I started followed Beckys treasure baskets on Instagram and that is great for ideas on what to do. Not sure how easy it would be getting some bits and bobs if you don’t have them at home x
