y'all sound lazy AF, TBH. Been working FT job, remodeling a house, with dog, on a farm and I've been loving every minute of this toddler stage.

Our daycare never closed in BR

No one asked you to have a kid

Why would I want to have a kid to "cure" my quarantine boredom?

I’m with you man 
We have had a blast with our 1 1/2 year old for the most part but it certainly is not boring or calm around here!

That's great, we're still bored.
Let's be realistic enough to recognize that while I'm sure it's stressful, having nonstop time with your toddler during a 2-3 month worldwide shutdown is probably a priceless gift you'll be thankful for for the remainder of your life.

I don't have kids, but I certainly haven't "finished Netflix".
I have a small business, which I'm trying to keep afloat. Applying for loans, looking for new revenue streams, contacting other businesses to see if they plan to reopen, trying to get inventory, trying to order needed supplies (packing tape won't arrive for two more weeks), getting work sent out to workers who can work from home....
I'm not having a month long vacation. I'm working twice as hard to make less than I usually do.
While so many people can work from home, for many small businesses, this isn't possible.

Who is watching your kid when you're doing all of these things? Because you're certainly not getting all of that done while actively watching a toddler.
Wife and I take shifts. Get 6 hours of sleep a night. Work 7 days a week. It sucks, but it's doable. House progress took a hit, but toddler will come toddle while we work as well.
It's all what you make it.

For phase 1 of quarantine I had a 9 month pregnant wife, a 5 year old, a 3 year old, 3 dogs.
Now I have a 5 year old, 3 year old, 2 week old, 3 dogs, postpartum wife.
Full time job the entire time. One kid is easy.

Quit your bitching, I'm watching a toddler and an infant by myself from 7 AM to 4 PM, then in charge of toddler till bed. It's the price you pay when your pull out game is weak.
But all things considered, wouldn't change a thing. They keep you on your toes and are great most of the time.

No kidding, what a sad way to go through life.
I'd have drove myself insane by now if I wasn't having so much fun with our daughter.

My brother you’re gonna get ripped for this thread but you’re absolutely correct
My wife’s a nurse, and while I’m still ‘working’ I’m spending a 5 days out the week at home with a 1 and 6 year old, trying to maintain order at the house, while trying to homeschool a kindergartener, and then on top of all that, I’m taking 16 hours of online classes at home for myself
frick this shite, I’m tired of it
Had plans to have 3-4 kids, but after this shite, I’m frickin DONE. I’m not cut out to be a stay at home dad. frick that

Why is your toddler up till 9? Get that kid on a better schedule. My toddler goes to bed at 6:30. Allows us to have some free time.

I made my kids re roof my house. They weren't complaining about boredom after the 3rd straight day of that I can assure you.
