　Update the new corona with the largest number of infections in the past for several consecutive days. Children's gardens, resting gardens, etc., are raging. In fact, the children's garden where my children go to school is a rest garden, and the reporter who coexists with work and parenting reviewed his recent life.

　At noon one day in early February. There's a call on the phone. In the picture, it is the name of the children's garden where my children attend. "here we go again." Intuition thought there was an urgent need for contact related to the new corona, so he answered the phone. The garden clerk said, "Mom, I'm sorry." The corona appeared in the garden, please come and pick me up immediately. " Infection also occurred in the park in late January, and children have just entered the park for self-discipline. Hang up the phone and breathe. Based on my last experience, it is speculated that my child should need more than a day to determine whether he or she is a strong contact. "in short, we must pick up the children quickly." at a stage when we don't know if our children are in close contact, it can be an obstacle to work. We must contact the work unit as soon as possible. "" I have to tell my husband, too. " All kinds of questions revolved around my head, and I went to pick up the children. Of course, the garden can't tell me who is infected. I have no idea how likely it is to infect my children. Emergency lunches were cancelled to appease hungry children while asking them to take out vegetables and tea stored in the fridge to eat. It has been pointed out that a new type of coronal Omei strain with strong infection. I'm not in the mood to blame the infected at all. I don't know when I will stand in that position. The staff of the children's garden headed by the caregivers are also full of gratitude. Contact each family, check your body temperature every day, stop your activities. He was already busy and dealt with other work related to the corona. "I wish the nurse was not feeling well," he said, worrying as he finished his meal and quickly turned his eyes to the two children who began to spread their toys on the floor and sighed. "what's next?" after reporting to his boss, he was instructed to work from home until he knew that his children were close contacts. The husband's company seemed to make the same judgment, and soon the husband came home. Because both sides work from home, we agreed to spend the day first. The study undisturbed by the children was given up to the husband who was busy with urgent work. I also attended an online meeting that I couldn't miss in the afternoon. But naughty 5-year-olds and annoying 2-year-olds. We can't leave two people behind. In desperation, in the living room where the children are running around, plug in headphones to attend online meetings on their smartphones. The child is interested in the meeting picture on the mobile phone screen. "May I press it? "that's it--" he sat on his lap. The contents of the meeting can't be put in at all. Try to avoid the meeting by playing a video for the children on TV. Children's video watching time has become longer, although very worried, but the stomach is irreplaceable. Finish the manuscript, do the survey for the next interview... When considering the work after this, the children who were tired of animation put forward the requirements of "play" and "hungry" and flew in one after another. "Mom, I'm working now. Go and play over there." how many times did I say that? In the end, he was deeply ingrained and became an opponent. The work that was not finished that day was packed after the child went to bed and before he got up the next day. If this life goes on, the body will not have it. When I entered the garden for self-discipline in late January, my holiday coincided with my self-discipline day. My child is not a strong contact, and the self-discipline of entering the garden is quickly lifted, so it has no effect on the work. But this time the parents are both in the daytime on work day. Even if you are not a strong contact, you can't go to work with the couple a few days before you find out. Although full of spirit, in the new coronal scourge, it is hesitant to let grandparents take care of their children. What's more, strong contacts can't be asked at an unknown stage. The same is true of parenting support services. For the sake of caution, although the parenting support service was asked, "in the case of coronal suspension of classes and closure of the garden, in principle, care at home is required." It is a short-time job, working with the support of the surroundings, but it brings further trouble to the workplace members because they are unable to work in the corona. While thanking everyone for the news of support, Omi shares showed no signs of reining in and sighed about the unpredictability of future parenting and job prospects. There is no progress in the work at all. "the child's physical strength is too strong, too bad." I can only comfort each other on line with my mother and friends.
