A teacher is moving to the basement when school starts to protect his medically vulnerable daughter
this war will be sleeping in until such time as it's safe to be around the rest. My family life is about to change for the Roach family. It's kind of gonna be like living in a dorm, but with a roommate that you can't get rid of. Michael Roach and a 16 year old son will be living in the basement for the foreseeable future. They had to recently install a toilet stove fridge in a hot plate, and if we're still on speaking terms by the time Christmas rolls around, we'll call it a success. Joking aside, the boys are moving to the basement for a serious reason. Michael is a junior high teacher, and they both have to leave the house next week to go to school. The Roaches have a daughter who is very medically vulnerable, and they can't risk are getting covitz. It never would have crossed my mind that we would have a situation where we couldn't be together as a family. Stephanie Roach will be living upstairs with her daughter, which means no family dinners, game night or even help with homework will kind of talk and chat over Alexa as to how are they went, and we won't get to have that in person connection. The Roaches say their daughter has already beaten incredible odds. For most people. They'll be just fine. They probably don't have much to worry about. We dio we can't take it for granted. We don't get that medical privilege because we're living the other side of it.
