1. We have been at home for the fourth week, although the state does not require such strict isolation from us. Residents of the Netherlands are allowed to go to the playgrounds, but we, knowing how long the virus remains on the surfaces, and realizing that it can be transmitted by any contact, preferred to introduce more stringent quarantine than government measures suggest.
Fortunately, we live in a house — not in a country, but in a house. We have a small space for movement and there is a garden with swings for children. The five of us at home: my husband and I, a teenager of 17 years and children, 4 years and 3 months. The main problem we are facing is limited access to doctors. Otherwise, they are not.
The first wave of panic when all products were swept away passed. There are restrictions in the store itself - no more than three people, it is a turn in front of him, but everyone is standing in a distance from each other. You can order products online - I heard that there are problems with the delivery, which you need to wait two weeks, but we did not encounter this.
2. The biggest difficulty in isolation is the psychological state within the family, because each of us has been deprived of something. First of all, freedom of movement. I want to go to a cafe, drink coffee, sit on the street and look at people passing by. Due to this, I restore the resource.
It is difficult for our 17-year-old daughter Lola without communicating with friends, it is difficult for her husband in constant communication with all family members. We are constantly together, constantly communicate. Four-year-old Mira is very bored without friends, wants to go on a visit and for guests to come to us.
Outbreaks of bad mood regularly occur in one of the family members. The first week we expected that we would be very ill, were terrified of what was happening. On the second, we felt that we just needed to slow down and lower our expectations. That we can no longer live by the same rules by which we lived before, and we began to lower expectations.
In the third week, they realized that it was necessary to return some rules of life, because there was no end to this quarantine, and at least it was necessary to start fully cleaning the house. You begin to get tired of being in a state of constant disorder.
