[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I've never been the world's most patient parent.  I've never effectively handled the loss of my time being my own - and it's been almost 6 years so it's not like it's PPD.  My kids favor DH to me.  I am losing it during this quarantine situation.  We have a 3 and 5 year old, I work a demanding job, and part of my job responsibilities involve implementing part of the recent CARES Act, so it's not like I can just take some leave.  The kids don't listen to me, they fight non-stop, DS refuses to do his K work, FCPS digital learning has been a cluster, DD literally whines and cries over everything, they make messes constantly.  DH really thinks I need a break and has suggested I head to my mom's second house in NC for a few days to get some alone time. It's on the coast but south of the Outer Banks so I can access it.  They're not there so it's vacant, I could bring groceries with me in a cooler, there is wifi so I can work - it's a five - six hour drive, so I'd have to stop for gas once.  Would you do this?  Just for 3 or 4 days to get a break.  [/quote]

I’d go.  And don’t worry about your kindergarten school work.  Just play with him and read some books to your kids throughout the day. [/quote]
