But especially during a pandemic, it is very challenging.

但特別是在大流行期間，這是非常具有挑戰性的。

And whatever the state of your family was before the pandemic,

且不論你的家庭在大流行前是什麼狀態。

The pandemic came, and it just exaggerated whatever was happening.

疫情來了，不管發生什麼事情，它都只是誇大了。

So if there were problems inside, it exaggerated those problems,

對你來說，這裡的父母在疫情下最大的像變化和挑戰是什麼？

Well, I think first of all having the kids home 24 hours a day...

好吧，我想首先有孩子一天24小時在家... ...

All of a sudden all of us moms instantly became teachers.

突然間，我們所有的媽媽瞬間變成了老師。

It wasn't like a choice to teach our children, we were just kind of tossed into that.

這不像是選擇教孩子，我們只是一種折騰。

I mean there's just totally, a totally a different dynamic to having your kids home all the time.

我的意思是，有隻是完全， 一個完全不同的動態 有你的孩子在家所有的時間。

I love summer breaks, I love breaks when my kids are home,

我喜歡暑假，我喜歡孩子在家時的休息。

But one thing I find totally interesting when my kids are home is

但有一件事我覺得很有趣，當我的孩子在家的時候，就是

We eat lunch — let's just pretend like we eat at noon.

At 12:15 they will come and say "Mom, we're hungry. What's there to eat?"

12點15分，他們就會過來說："媽媽，我們餓了。有什麼吃的？"

And this was months of this because everyone was stuck at home.

而這幾個月來，因為大家都被困在家裡。

And you're trying to balance healthy eating and healthy routines and school and tons of laundry

而你要平衡健康的飲食和健康的生活習慣 還有學校和大量的洗衣工作

Because kids are home all the time, making messes and cleaning house,

因為孩子一直在家，鬧騰，打掃屋子。

Husbands are home with work, it's just...

And there's still more of it here that we're working through now.

而且這裡還有更多的東西，我們現在正在努力解決。

I'd say one thing that probably really helped for us too was finding fun things to do together

我想說的是，有一件事，可能真的幫助我們太 是發現有趣的事情，一起做的。

Like Becca and Anna like to play Catan, so we'll play Catan with them

就像Becca和Anna喜歡玩卡坦遊戲一樣 我們就和她們一起玩卡坦遊戲吧

I think establishing a healthy routine is very important.

"Well what am I going to do now? What am I going to do now?"

"那我現在該怎麼辦？我現在要做什麼？"

It wasn't like we were all just on vacation for months,

我們又不是剛放了幾個月的假。

And the kids still had school, so they had their school time,

而且孩子們還得上學，所以他們的上學時間。

Then meal time, then play time and study time,

然後是吃飯時間，然後是遊戲時間和學習時間。

We just had to figure out a routine that worked with us all being in the house at the same time.

我們只需要想出一套能讓我們同時待在家裡的程序。

嘿，莎拉，今天在學校怎麼樣？很好啊

Another thing I think was very helpful was establishing healthy eating patterns.

另一件我認為非常有幫助的事情是建立健康的飲食模式。

Because if I let my kids raid the fridge and feed themselves, Oh gosh

因為如果我讓我的孩子們在冰箱裡翻箱倒櫃，然後自己吃，哦，天哪。

They would be eating cereal and chocolate and bread.

他們會吃麥片、巧克力和麵包。

我的孩子喜歡麵包。哦，還有白米飯。

Plain rice. Just rice. Sarah would ask for it with a little shyoyu, soy sauce.

普通的米飯。只是米飯。薩拉會要求加點醬油，醬油。

During this whole time we started experimenting with healthier options like whole grain rice and more vegetables

在這段時間裡，我們開始嘗試更健康的選擇，比如全麥飯和更多的蔬菜。

而且要多吃烤的東西，不要油炸的。

Like different soups and foods that are healthy but fun

喜歡不同的湯和食物，是健康但有趣的。

It's amazing — eating healthy helps you have the right type of energy

這是驚人的--健康飲食有助於你擁有正確的能量類型

Sugar high and then you fall and you drop and you're cranky.

糖分高了就會掉下來，掉下來就會暴躁。

And it would fill them up so they're not begging for food every 5 minutes.

So a lot of people comment, they're like "What a beautiful, wonderful family! You guys look perfect."

所以，很多人評論，他們就像 "多麼美麗，美好的家庭！你們看起來很完美。"

We definitely have had our moments, especially during the pandemic, has brought it out

我們肯定有我們的時刻，尤其是在流行病期間，已經把它帶出來了。

When you're with each other all the time Yeah

當你一直和對方在一起的時候 是的。

And our house is much smaller than the house we had either in the States or in Brazil,

而我們的房子無論是在美國還是在巴西，都比我們的房子小得多。

So you're in each others' business all the time

所以你們一直都在互相打交道？

What— how have we kind of dealt with that?

When someone's got a little upset or when the kids need to be alone or one of us...

當有人有點不高興的時候 或者當孩子們需要獨處的時候 或者我們中的一個人... ...

Needs to be alone. Well at one point we said "Well the car's available."

需要獨自一人。好吧，有一次我們說："好了，車可以用了。"

If anyone needs some alone time, you can just go sit in the car a little bit.

I'd call up my sisters, I had other friends that I was texting,

我會打電話給我的姐妹們，我還有其他朋友，我在發短信。

And just getting advice and encouragement

Or just complaining a little to someone who understood what I was going through.

或者只是向理解我經歷的人抱怨一下。

And having that support system really, really is helpful.

有了這個支持系統，真的，真的很有幫助。

不僅是在大流行期間，而且在任何時候

Because raising children is not something that we just all know the answers to, you know?

因為養孩子不是我們隨便就能知道答案的，你知道嗎？

Seeking advice from our parents and our grandparents or older ladies...

向我們的父母和爺爺奶奶或者老太太尋求建議... ...

We have a lot of wise ladies in our church that we can—that I like to seek advice from

I think it's very important to, if you don't know what to do, if you don't know the answer, to find someone who can help you.

我覺得非常重要的是，如果你不知道該怎麼做，如果你不知道答案，找一個人可以幫助你。
