Coronavirus Quarantine: Man Discovers He Has Three Children He Was Unaware Of
Chicago
Mark Wexler, an executive for a large unnamed corporation based in Chicago, recently started doing remote work from his home during the Coronavirus outbreak.
Things started off well with a few glitches in the workflow, but after a week things smoothed and allowed him to relax a little.
“At this point I wasn’t commuting any more.” He said. “I had more time on my hands since I worked my regular hours without the commute and the workflow has slowed because business is down.”
“That is when I noticed the problem.” He said. “I thought it was a little more crowded than what I remembered home being like.” Mark discovered a surprise, he had seven children instead of the four he thought he had.
“I have been really invested in my career the last few years and I have left most of the parenting to my wife. She has done a good job, and sure she must have told me about the kids, sometime.”
“I’m sure I love them just as much as the ones I know.” He quipped with a guilty look as we wrapped up the interview.
Mark has been spending his extra time getting to know the new children.
