Paul on a brighter note.

You're listening to the Christian O'Call Show podcast.

My heart goes out to any parents who are having a tough time,

and more importantly, their kids are having a tough time at the moment.

How can they not be?

Especially if you've got teenagers, because I found it really hard over the weekend,

because the thing that you want to do as a parent when you've got teenagers

or any kids, like you know, you and your daughter ordi Patsy is you want to

try and make things better when they're having tough times and at the moment you can do that in small ways

but it was like yesterday my 17 year old Ruby she she was having a really tough time she's supposed to be

revising at the moment right she's got the she's in year 11 so big exams and you know she sat there

looking at all this you know the pressure on grade and especially in year 11 going So big exams and, you know, she sat there looking at all this, you know, the pressure on grade and especially in year 11 going into year 12.

It's a big year for all of them in their lives, right?

And she's looking at, she's got to do a cut of hours of revision.

Revision at any time, right, is just horrendous.

Even the word still puts chills in my spine.

You know, I don't need to really revise. And she was like, how long is this going to go on?

How long are going to be in lockdown?

I said, I don't know.

You know, we can hope that it's September 2nd, but I don't know.

It's actually a really hard thing as a parent to be confronted when you don't have,

you don't have any power over it.
