Many of our men began working from home when their businesses were shuttered, children began something called, "distance learning" and we were struggling. We have learned through this experience how blessed we were to have our men and children out of the home for several hours a day so that we could cook, clean and handle everything without anyone else around. Now, we're blessed differently in that we're here for a families and better able to meet their needs.
Our men required that we wear masks almost from the start (long before communities began requiring them) and made sure we understood how to properly use them. We are convinced this advanced directive kept us and our families safe from infection. A few of our men have also determined our children will not be returning to school for the foreseeable future. Again we feel blessed that this is a viable option for us. We do believe our girls will benefit from more time at home and we can broaden their education to include more household duties.
Our routines have altered but our commitment to our structure remains true. We at The (real) Stepford Wives Association strongly believe this will pass and we will emerge stronger because of it.
