Getting started in life is harder right now
Getting started in life is harder right now. I have two college age sons who both just finished up their year with online classes, and both are home now. In “normal” times they would be working summer jobs or participating in other activities that would help them advance toward their chosen careers. Jobs may or may not happen. Even getting out of the house may not happen much. These are weird times.

I am happy to help my sons with a place to live, emotional and other support, but it is a time of life where they should be moving towards increased independence. The opportunities to do that are drastically reduced right now. This state of affairs concerns me, and it’s not just my family. Maybe we need to look for the silver lining, find opportunity in change, etc., but it is certainly going to take more effort and intentionality right now.
