[quote=Anonymous]OP, I feel you.  I'm a similar boat but luckily my husband's work was slower the first two weeks so he was able to help our younger elementary kids get pretty up to speed on their online schooling.

The only advice I have for you is to try your best to schedule times for things.  Instead of feeling like laundry or cleaning is constantly hanging over my head, we created a schedule where we rotate through everything that needs to be done so that we're doing something every day, but it gives me the flexibility to ignore something that would otherwise bother me because I know it will be handled tomorrow, for example.  It also helps make for a better division of labor since my husband also knows what needs to be done.  For example, today he vacuumed all the rugs because he had a short break in his work schedule this morning.  Also, try to schedule in some time for yourself.  I understand having to log back into work after the kids are in bed, but one night a week can you plan to take a bath or watch a TV show you like?  Just having something to look forward to has been helpful for me.

Good luck.  This is tough.[/quote]
