What's hard to is to build a lifestyle that relies on other adults to make it successful, and be forced to live through a period where no other adults can help you.

In that sense, you are not alone. Many families have kids they don't care for in the ordinary way, houses and gardens that others maintain, etc..

We happen to be largely self-sufficient. We never outsourced much, and supplemented school every year. So now, it's going smoothly, and truthfully feels more homey and cozy than before. We don't have more than we can handle.

You'll have your life back in a year. In the meantime, do what you can.

At the moment, it’s not the childcare aspect that is the problem. Our problem is trying to figure out the logistics, WiFi load, technical issues and overall management of eLearning while my husband and I are senior leads in government positions where the buildings are reopened and we are expected to be back. 
It feels like overkill to hire a sitter since our kids are independent but eLearning tech issues are becoming a logistical and technical nightmare already. 
And, yeah, it’s kinda a compulsory requirement to send children to school during work hours so obviously, since the state set the schedule and requirement, stupid us would somehow work our lives around the fact that they are required to be there getting an education. Now that the state has changed their requirements, I realize we are supposed to suddenly switch our lives around and take whatever they throw at us for the new attendance requirements, but it may take some families longer than others to come up with a plan which works. 
It’s the only community resource which is shocked when parents have issues with sudden changed to the state mandated requirements of parents when the schools no longer fit into the schedule or structure of the community they are serving. Go figure.

I cannot be the only family out there who is struggling with the logistics of this all. My kids are not excited about their eLearning classes and the tech issues are making it miserable.

Other than a virtual learning daycare, has anyone come up with a plan to do asynchronous learning only or to homeschool with an online curriculum?
