Yeah this my single friends or those without children less impressed.
I await the plans for Quarantine rules for visiting family abroad now.
GoatandTricycle-
The difference in experience of lockdown for parents compared to none parents is stark.
All I want is silence while my colleagues without kids crave anyone to talk to. I feel for them, but am relieved my needs, sorry, the needs of my children and their education, have been prioritsed!
I'm just about to finish a big project at work. Got loads of leave, so I'm taking next week off to help properly with the last week of homeschool, then taking another week for long bike rides, walks with my lady and no children and then just sitting in a quiet empty house. Can't wait.

I guess it depends on your situation.
Amongst parents of school age children (based on my Whatsapp chats with friends/family) it's bordering on euphoria. Getting children out of the house and back into school in a couple of weeks restores a lot of sanity for both children and parents. Relaxations in time for the summer holidays. The summer half term (May 29 - June 6) also nicely after another set of restrictions lifted.
