Reported in the news today that there is little evidence of any mental health issues in the UK following the COVID 19 pandemic.
I feel I'm in a unique position to comment on this subject.
My wife (NHS) worked through it.
I was furloughed (sort of) self employed contractor.
I had a 15 year old child at home.
I had a 20 year old young person at home.
My wife was fine....life carried on more or less as normal except her shere of the housework was done by me so life was easier in a way for her
I did more housework but was also able to get loads of jobs done that I never had time to do...better than going to work tbh.
My 15 year old suffered. Like most at that age, partying and socialising is a huge thing. Being cut off from her friends really affected her and still does now sadly. She's lost that bubblyness.
She is the one who has suffered.
The 20 year old only suffered because I cut his hair....
How has it all affected your families?
3 out of 4 of us are fine. The little one, time will tell...
