San Diego, CA: Managing Life Under Quarantine is Hard Enough, But with Four Kids? (Guest: Kate Rossettie)

Most of us are having a hard enough time handling life without some basic comforts and amenities. But can you imagine shelter in place with 4 kids? Kate Rossettie and her husband are managing with two jobs and four kids.

I talk to Kate about life in San Diego at the moment. Are Californians really flooding beaches and state parks in defiance of shelter in place orders? How is the San Diego community managing with COVID life and does being in a sunny place help at all? We learn about how San Diego has reacted to the virus and how life has changed in her community.

Kate and her husband are two working professionals and have 4 boys. We learn about the unique challenges that presents to day-to-day life - especially given her boys are of varying ages. How effective is distance learning and is it realistic to have high expectations at the moment?

We learn about Kate and her family routine of cleaning, sanitizing and generally attempting to stay safe during this period. If you think you have it hard, listen to this episode and you might gain an appreciation for just how hard it can be to manage your time during the pandemic.
