Oddbean new post about login | logout Parents of nostr, how do you occupy your kids summer break while balancing work?
Let the mother and child set up a work schedule for us.
Your work is flexible enough around their schedule?
Make them do your work? 🤭
Cheap metal detector outside, snail/insect pets in a cheap tank/large jar, slime kits, family walks, play overs with other kids, Lego stop motion.
My kids would get bored of all of that in 2 days lol what am I going to do for the rest of their summer break …
That was advice for one day! 😂 No, it's an issue, short attention spans.
If you work remote and have some flexibility, extend your workday with several long breaks to spend with the kids. Then give them tasks (learning or chores/skill development) in between. I also moved my desk outside so they could play outside while I work.
Way too hot to work outside. Or play even. We stick to water most days or indoor activities
I use a lot of fans to work outside in 32C+ weather but the kids play in the pool so they stay cool. #plebdads have any additional suggestions?
I wish I could balance work 😕
