[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]6am-8pm with your children everyday, no childcare, how would you do?

This is my current situation and not sure if I am fit for this. We cannot afford childcare at the moment due to my husband's job loss. [/quote]

I don’t think it’s healthy for your kids to only be around you all day every day.  Even if money is an issue, are there low cost or free activities you can enroll them in to give them some interaction with other kids their age?  Or even a play group that would give you dedicated, predictable time off from childcare for at least one afternoon a week?[/quote]

Are we talking about only being with mom though?

I was assuming that we were talking about normal, non-covid times, and OP was free to take her kids to a playground, or a library playgroup, and on a playdate.

Having your pre- or barely verbal children be your only company 14 hours a day would be very isolating.  I'm the PP above with the husband who often worked a double shift.  The playground, the ability to hang out with another mother, etc . . . made a huge difference to me. [/quote]
