'I believe the increased family time has been a wake-up call for everyone. I hope that it’s something that continues to be the new normal as we work through this challenge.'
For working parents, it's easy to get caught up in all the negative aspects of working from home, homeschooling, and what seems like non-stop cooking and cleaning.
But Joy McAdams, a mom of five from Bremen, Georgia, has found the bright spots in the pandemic. Four of her children are home now, ages 12-19. The oldest is married."This pandemic situation has me so conflicted. I feel guilty that my heart is full as I look outside and see my teenage kids playing together, my new running partner has become my teenage son. We watch movies every night together, we are having dinner as a family every night. All of this precious time would have never happened.
McAdams told"Good Morning America" that she works with medical practices as an independent contractor and when her kids' school changed to online learning in mid-March, she knew she would soon take a financial loss as well."Trying to juggle homeschool and the conversion to working at home was completely overwhelming," she said." I had been feeling like my challenges were bigger than what my kids and husband were facing.
