August 2020 THE BEACON Page 7A By Linda Hutchinson It was a big day in the Hutchinson house, at least for my fourteen-year-old daughter. Makenzie woke up extra early, did her hair, and got all dressed up to go to her first orthodontist appointment in over two months. Not only was she excited about finally getting out of the house and away from her two brothers, but she was also elated about getting one step closer to getting her braces off for good! For this teenager in quarantine, the day was like letting a wild animal out of its cage. She was more than ready! How about you? Do you feel like you’ve been stuck in a cage for months? Is your family like ours, experiencing a little “quarantine fatigue?” As states slowly and carefully reopen, this summer is shaping up to be a very different kind of summer. With pools closed, camps canceled, and many sports postponed, our kiddos are restless. Let’s face it, so are moms and dads. Parents used most of the “tricks up their sleeves” before summer ever got here, and now families are getting desperate for new ways to spend their days. Check out some of the crazy ideas kids are coming up with and how parents are reacting. These are some reallife scenarios that families have shared online. New trampoline moves. Tiffany From A Dog’s (or Cat’s!) Point of View By Tiffany and Tammy Turner This Corona Virus has turned humans’ everyday lives upside down. You must think about social distancing and whether to wear a mask or not. You have all heard the rules and regulations, but guess who didn’t get the memo about the social distancing… CATS! We are not doing our part. The resultkittens! Loads of kittens. If you find kittens, be sure to leave them alone. Their mother does have to leave them sometimes while she goes in search of food. If you see the kittens and they are quiet or sleeping, that means “You want to move the trampoline over to the garage and jump off from the roof? OK. Just no ER visits was one mom’s only stipulation. A reverse mohawk. One little boy asked his mom for a reversed Mohawk. She replied, “Sure, let me get the trimmers. Crazy hair. Don’t care!” After all, who’s going to see it? Playing with dry ice. One mom let her son play with some dry ice to get him out of her hair. Who has dry ice just lying around?? Dig a hole. Have you ever seen the movie Holes? One mom called it their “quarantine project.” No purpose. No plan. The kids keep going outside and working on digging a hole… Oreos and chips for breakfast? One mom surrendered to her boys’ request and admitted, “Sounds good to me as long as I don’t have to cook, and they’re willing to share.” Children’s Play House for Mom. One mom was so desperate that she bought a children’s playhouse online so she would have somewhere to hide. You painted what? One little four-year-old came in and confessed that he had spray-painted Mommy’s car a new color while she was taking a nap. Crawdads in the fish tank? “Why not?” one dad the mother has done her job and is out to get food. If they are screaming, please keep an eye out on them to see whether the mom comes back. Sometimes you will see just one kitten, which means the mother is probably moving them to a safe place. If you find yourself with extra time on your hands (yes, that still happens these days) or feel the need to give some love to some kittens, consider being a foster. You can take a litter into your home and love and care for them BOGGS & RACE 10037 Western Row Dillsboro, IN 47018 812.432.3418 boggsandrace .com certified public accountants Stay the Course replied, “I’m sure the Beta fish are sick of the quarantine too.” Borrow a dog. One mom decided to cave in to her children’s plea for a dog and borrowed a friend’s dog for a while. The kids were even excited about cleaning up the dog poop. It gave them something to do. Bonfires galore. Kids are so bored they are burning everything in sight. One dad admitted, “It’s safer for my kids to be outside burning stuff in the backyard than inside driving me crazy!” New sleeping schedule. “My kids want to stay up until 4 A.M. and sleep until noon every day”, one mom shared with me. Her reply, “Who cares? As long as they don’t wake me up.” As much as these scenarios make me chuckle, some of them also make me cringe. They sound like scenes out of a Home Alone sequel. While all of these may be funny on the big screen, in real life, many of them are recipes for disaster. Why is that? Because the very things parents are doing to “cope” with this new normal and relieve stress in the moment could actually create MORE long-term stress and chaos in the home. Now more than ever, our kids need structure and routine. So do mom and dad. Parents, if I could share with you until we can get them spayed/ neutered. Just don’t expect us to practice social distancing. PAWS will give you everything you need to take care of us until an appointment can be set. We’ll give you a cage, food, litter, and provide any necessary vaccines until their appointment. Call us, or better yet a human, at the shelter at 812-577- 0829 or email to director@ pawsdearborn.org. We look forward to hearing from you. Fostering is a very rewarding experience and saves lives. Year Around Tax and Accounting Services just a few words of wisdom in this unsettling time, STAY THE COURSE! Put back into your day the routines and rules that worked with your family BEFORE the coronavirus hit and the summer arrived. When you have a day off, breaking from your routine is one thing, but your mental health cannot handle the chaos described above for very long. Now is not the time to throw your hands up and say, “I’m done!” “I don’t care what you do. I’m over it!” “Tear the house up. Break all the rules. Do whatever you want. I’ll be over here drinking a glass of wine.” You’re NOT going to get the kind of results you were hoping for. Whether or not your children can articulate their need for order and security, they are desperately craving them in this uncertain world. They need those things from you. So get back to what worked for your family before CO- VID-19 hit. If you don’t feel like you had those things in place before, call us at Rock Solid Families for help getting them in place. Establish some routines for your kids and stick to them. Yes, even in these summer months. It will be the ticket to your sanity and theirs.
