Life in Quarantine: Surprising Family Roles Are Springing Up via LaurieJStone
Oh my God. So far we’re doing this. Five family members are living under one roof – Randy and me, my Mom, and our two adult sons, both on temporary “Corona” leave from school jobs. Like many families under lockdown, Team Stone is coping. Most interesting is how everyone’s talents are coming to the forefront…
Son Patrick – In-house Therapist. Thank God my oldest is going for a Masters in Clinical Psychology. As luck would have it, he’s living here to save money and attend full-time — at least virtually for now. Trust me, that degree isn’t wasted. When any of us start feeling blue or anxious or depressed, Patrick’s the go-to guy. “How does that make you feel?” is a question that’s asked around here often. And we’re more than happy to answer.Husband Randy – Purchasing and Risk Management.
Additional duties: Mom keeps our plants looking healthy and beautiful. She even fertilizes them twice a month, something I did… well, never. She’s also part of the clean-up crew after dinner, wiping counters and our stovetop with a precision that would make Martha Stewart weep.
