[quote=Anonymous]Hire help.  100 percent.  Have that person start this week.   Even if only three hours a day a few days a week. Ask that person to do some educational activities like reading, and counting, and building with blocks with the kids.  Have her take the kids out for a some fresh air, a walk, some skipping/hopscotch and ball play. During that time you should sleep or go out to exercise on your own...go get coffee at an open cafe just to see humans, keeping your distance of course.

Look for teenagers to help. I have two and they are going crazy not having normal employment opportunities for extra money.  They are sick of being cooped up and being responsible not seeing friends.  They could help, depending on where you live.  Or a neighbor's teens could help.  Kids are not at high risk for covid complications.  Have them wear masks, but let them get out with a responsible teen who will wear one too.

If your spouse is going to work that much, during this pandemic, and maybe always, you should get some assistance considering the workload of three kids (since it sounds like you usually work too).

Screw the people who say you are not a good mom. They are idiots whose next babies will be the worst sleepers ever....or the ones they already have will develop challenging learning disorders yet to be diagnosed.  They will face their hard times....everyone does.  If you have never felt overwhelmed to the point of wanting to quit, well then, you haven't really had your hard time yet.  Trust me, naysayers.

Every great mother has had days, weeks, even few month chunks feeling overwhelmed.  These are challenging times.  You are normal and healthy to feel overwhelmed.  [/quote]
