I too have been telling my kids (7&9) that it's basically a bad back, with some additional pain in my feet, legs, etc. I do actually try to talk to them about why I am now working from home mostly and have tough days, but honestly they don't actually seem too worked up about it. They are amazingly resilient, happy, self centered creatures, how hard should I try to explain this? I worry that perhaps its bothering them more than they let on...but on other hand, don't want to worry them more than necessary by pushing it on them
