For one Vogue editor, quarantine didn’t change the amount she spoke with her mom—but rather the way in which they communicated. MothersDay

After she was let go, it was almost always met with relief. “Honestly,” she’d say, “I hated that fucking place.”She was counting on the next thing—an amazing job, a beautiful apartment, a perfect relationship.
My initial attempts to help came off as schoolmarmish: I scolded her for sleeping in, for staying up late, for not making herself proper dinners. “This is not vacation,” I said a few weeks into quarantine. “This is real life. You will surprise yourself with how much better you feel when you wake up every morning and have a plan for your day.”
