Chris Brooker is back and we’re diving into our favorite topics: TV, and our kid! With so much content to watch lately it can be overwhelming to choose something you like. We have some recommendations like “The Boys” on Amazon Prime Video, “Teenage Bounty Hunters” on Netflix, and Cobra Kai on Netflix just to name a few.

We are also opening up about what’s like to start distance learning. Chan has been back in school for about 2 weeks and it’s as sad as we thought it would be. She sits in front of her computer for 6 hours a day bouncing from Zoom meetings to independent study. She has almost no interaction with the other kids in class. This has been so hard to watch because Chan is such a social kid. She misses her friends so much and they aren’t even in her class this year. She’s in a new class with none of the friends she made in Kinder or 1st grade and no way to socialize to make new friends.

I realize we aren’t the only people in this position. Millions of parents around the U.S. are juggling work and school at home, trying to figure out how to keep their kids safe and maintain their education. All I know is that I would rather have her setback a few months in school than sick, or worse, dead. It helps to put things in perspective and Chris and I dive into why it’s important to us to keep her at home for now instead of in the classroom.
