The Mom That Covid Has Made Me
b'We asked our listeners to tell us how life with Covid has affected their own parenting. Some of us have gotten more socially anxious; others, like the moms of kids with severe allergies, have found the isolation reassuring. Some of us have treasured the extra time with our children; others are nearing their breaking point. Some of us are stressing about the screen time; others are thrilled we\\u2019re not interrupting our kids to go to travel soccer for a change.\\xa0\\nThis topic was inspired by Kristen Howerton\\u2019s essay for The New York Times, \\u201cI Hate The Mom That Covid Has Made Me.\\u201d Kristen explains how she\\u2019s become THAT mom, the kind who spies on her own teenagers and yells at them for not wearing masks. She thought she hated that kind of parent\\u2013\\xa0and now it\\u2019s her.\\xa0\\nHow has Covid changed your parenting?
