[quote=Anonymous]Yep of course that is fine.

I’d try to have them do at least something structured every day (a list of chores and/or supplemental academic work). Nothing major, but something to take up an hour or two.

If they are anything like mine, left to their own devices  they will sleep the morning away. Which for a few weeks is not a big deal.

I’d definitely also help them find things out of the house to do on some of the days- especially if you or DH might have any flexibility in your schedule (I know some don’t). For example you could drop them at the movies or the pool etc, tag teaming pickup with your DH. Or team up with a parent of their friend(s)- one can pickup the other drop off.  Stuff like that. Or maybe a local grandparent or neighbor might be willing to give a ride once or twice. If you’ve been working from home all these years, I’m guessing you have done a lot of favors (this is the case for me anyway!).  I’d brainstorm a little. Obviously I’m assuming they are not yet old enough to drive. . [/quote]
