[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]4 kids? I’m sorry, but I think you need to hire support.[/quote]

Or learn to be parents. [/quote] so your suggestion is what? Give up work and lose the income? [/quote]

With four kids, yes, or hire a nanny.[/quote]

I don’t trust a nanny with my kids. Never have. I’m not sure why a nanny would be better qualified to juggle the 4 of them with eLearning than I would. I may send the youngest two to a childcare eLearning program when I am at work. [/quote]

First of all, the 3 older kids don't need help. Maybe even your 6th grader doesn't need much help either. Get a babysitter to help the youngest kid. You make it sound like you have babies and toddlers as well as ES aged kids. The oldest 2 or 3 can do this alone. I used to nanny for 4 kids and the ages of these kids sound like a cakewalk.

One of my older kids is autistic and I think needs someone there more often. He’s pretty independent but he needs some guidance. 
We plan on sending the younger two to a virtual learning center and checking in with my oldest more often. Friday was very frustrating because of the data speed anyway.

Clearly your kids would benefit from an adult whose job it is to focus on them to help the through virtual learning since both you and your DH are away from home (particularly since you have a younger child and a special needs child.)  it’s not like your kids are working independent of adult supervision when they’re at school-there are people there to guide them.  there are lots of great caregivers out there but if you rather send your younger two to a virtual learning center (whatever that is), it sounds like a more difficult decision logistics wise [/quote]
