[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]3 kids 5 and under here. DH still has to go in for shifts. Both of us trying to work from one tiny home office. My work is at 75% of usual intensity wise, so like the 40 hours/week it’s suppose to be... except that everything takes longer because I’m at home without my usual resources and government IT sucks. DH is way busier than usual because of COVID. 60-70 hour weeks plus finishing a degree. Our nanny now has 3 kids all day instead of 1 plus 2 afterschool. We are trying to only have her work ~6-7 hour days whenever possible because we don’t want her to totally burnout (obviously we still pay her her 50 guaranteed). It is rough. I cannot imagine how the people with no help do it.[/quote]

Our three kids are 8, 6, and 4, and we have no help.  We're both teleworking FT, DH is slammed and essential, and I'm slammed and have effectively been made essential.  It's hard as hell.  Oh, and distance learning is supposed to start this week, so now that's added to our plates.  I could not care less about my kids' academics, I just want our family's emotional health to remain as intact as possible.  I've already cried twice today, and the prospect of months more of this is more than I can bear.[/quote]
