Day 58

12/05/2020 Tuesday, Cloudy

Lili's words wake me. Maybe we've been too harsh on Sean. Yes, he has many bad habits. When he's at school, we don't see them. Now he's with us 24/7, we've criticising him a lot if not all the time. No wonder he becomes very defensive.

One of the side effects of everyday table tennis might be making Sean even more competitive. He always wants to win and is frustrated by every error. He's also very eager to prove himself to be smarter, stronger while we criticise him for not being humble.

Lockdown is affecting the mental health of us all.

How do we know if it's safe to go out, go back to school, back to work? The virus is still there. Once you catch it, the odds of death is probably the same, since there's neither cure nor vaccine. Maybe the chance of infection is lowered now? I can wear a mask at work, but students at school? No chance. This transmission path is highly likely.

Day 118

11/07/2020 Saturday, Cloudy For the 2nd time since lockdown, we got out of the house and went to the park as a family. Sean and I played table tennis there, while Lili jogged around the tennis court. Later we walked around the reservoir and came home from the high street. Though we've lived here for 5 years, it's the first time we walked around it. It's near 3 miles and we ended up exhausted.

Day 128

21/07/2020 Tuesday, Cloudy Sean is grounded for a whole day today. No screen time at all. Suprisingly he did well and repaired the relationship with his mum. Without computer, iPad or TV, he played piano, learnt Chinese and played TT. The only thing missed is the math exercise. Without anybody being grumpy, it's happy family again.
