[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, you have to change how you deal with the pandemic if you are going to survive this chaos until we are back to normal life.

Yes, you should avoid gatherings, eating inside restaurants (even outside with the flu season looming), holidays parties, sports events, etc.

However, some stuff has to be back to normal. This is not the plague and if you are not immunocompromised (and your family of course), hire a nanny and have your housecleaner back at least every other week. If your husband finds a job now, have the housecleaner every week.

If it would make you feel more comfortable, schedule them for a time during the day when you can take a break (maybe lunch time or end of the day) and leave the house with everyone to go for a walk or just drive around, etc. I don't even do that to be honest.[/quote]

+1. Real talk, unless you or your husband are very high risk (and seriously look up what makes someone high risk, it’s not just “mild asthma” like some people think) you need to loosen up. You don’t have to live by March/April standards anymore. Cleaning service + nanny or day care for the kids ASAP. Even though you have essentially a SAH spouse at this point, it sounds like with his health issues and just not being good at the child care thing, that you need the professionals and that’s 100% ok. Literally everyone I know apart from a few people who are high risk (immunocompromised due to an organ transplant, former cancer patient, type 1 diabetic, that level of high risk) has sent their kids back to day care or has a nanny coming. Even if parents are still WAH. Please do this for yourself. Since you make all the income right now, you can make these decisions IMO. Good luck and I’ll be thinking of you![/quote]
