The novelty of having kids at home all day every day has worn off, because as taboo as it may be to admit, no one signed up to 24/7 parenting.
“At least during the warmer months the boys could play outside, albeit for about 10 minutes at a time before pestering me for a snack, a drink or to tell a tale,” says Jamie Beaglehole, who’s homeschooling Lyall, 12, and Rich, 11, alongside his husband, Tom.

If you haven’t heard of PE with Joe (where have you
been?), the premise is simple: the personal trainer and father-of-two has streamed live workouts for both parents and kids almost every day of lockdown. His aim was to encourage kids to keep fit, but he’s also donated all profits made through his YouTube channel to the NHS, too.
