“Boredom is the feeling that everything is a waste of time; serenity, that nothing is.” – Thomas Szasz

Are you fed up with being at home?

It’s almost a year we’re spending too much of our time at our houses. Even if we’re not working from home, almost everything else is closed. Sometimes we feel the walls are closing in on us. It’s not a great feeling.

If we also have kids, who are practically jailed with us for long periods that seem like forever, life is even tougher. Our children are climbing the walls, getting under our skin, and putting our mental health at risk.

No wonder, then, that these days many of us are prone to lose it every now and then, and feel both aggravated and guilty. Everyone else looks at us shocked (as their collapsing happens a bit later.)

For me, however, this chaos seems familiar. I already endured it when, after (too many) years of doubts, I started homeschooling my son. Yet, being with my child for good taught us to enjoy our time at home, enjoy our lives in general, and even to enjoy freedom. The nontrivial lessons my family learned through blood, sweat and tears (literally) can nowadays help us all, and probably gain us something for our bright future, too.
