COVID Made Me A Stay-At-Home Mom

EVERYTHING'S DIFFERENT
COVID Made Me A Stay-At-Home Mom, & I Don't Know If I'll Ever Adjust

The COVID-19 pandemic turns three years old this week — real threenager vibes, too — and God knows we're all still dealing with the fallout. Today we've got a piece from a mom who got laid off and pivoted to the stay-at-home life, and she's still reeling.

"For the first year of lockdown — and our family did indeed lock down, taking every precaution until vaccines were available — I had to do a job I was utterly unfamiliar with: stay-at-home mother. I was good at being a working mom," writes Lauren Davidson. Then everything changed: "I went from one job I loved to five I … did not."

Tell me: How has the pandemic reshaped your life? Have you reached a new normal, or are you in a similar spot? Hit me up and tell me about it: HiScaryMommy@bdg.com.

This Sex Therapist Explains Why She Makes Out With Her Husband Every. Single. Night.

TikTok has so much advice, and that advice is truly all over the place. The latest: "A licensed sex therapist on TikTok is going viral after insisting that the key to a healthy sex life with your partner is daily make out sessions," writes Katie Garrity. "I have so many questions."

Vanessa Marin laid it out on the app: "We wanted to give ourselves lots of experiences when we were making out and it wasn't leading to sex," she explained, basically to keep things from getting too bound up with expectations. "Our rule is that we have to make out every single night, and there has to be some tongue contact." What do you think? Smart, or entirely too much work?
