[quote=Anonymous]I'm in the same boat. I have 7, 4, and 1.5 year olds and am working from home full time. DH also works from home full time and we are doing our best to stagger shifts. We both have jobs that are running back to back conference calls during this time with deadlines that are not shiftable. By the end of last week, I felt like I was going crazy. We started giving up on the homework by Thursday. Laundry is piling up. We let our nanny go because she and her husband are not social distancing. We tried having her come and bring her kids, but that was causing too much anxiety because my husband is immune compromised and my son has a condition that makes him allergic to many medications. So, we can't take chances with having people who are not strict about social distancing coming into the house. I agree with OP that this pace is unsustainable. I'm at the point where I'm taking conference calls (with some speaking roles) with my kids around. I've had to have strict cutoff to my work days. But, this is tough. I totally understand what you're dealing with an wish I had some advice, but I'm struggling too.[/quote]
