[quote=Anonymous]I am homeschooling my 9 and 7 yr old with my very busy just turned four year old at home. My husband works 10-11 hr days. We don’t have extra income for babysitter or house cleaner. During the week my support system is limited. My neighbor and I will usually co-op 1-2 mornings a week with my four year old and hers. I usually do about a total of one hr a week of direct letter/number instruction with the four year old. Otherwise she does open ended art/play or she will play with one sibling while I work with the other. On the weekend My husband and I will tag team house chores and he will usually give me a few hrs of uninterrupted time to get organized and or have time to myself. Occasionally we will have grandparent help on the weekends. I use Instacart and Amazon for just about all purchases and usually cook really simple meals. Some days run smoothly - others are complete chaos. This is not a long term plan for us so it works for now, knowing we will be able to utilize more support when more people are vaccinated, kids are back in school, etc. [/quote]
