[quote=Anonymous]My husband works in the NICU so sometimes my life is like this for six days at a stretch. I am an elementary school teacher, so on weekdays I spend all day running around with school aged kids and come home to a baby, who I care for alone on these nights and days because of his long shifts (he leaves hours before she wakes and gets home hours after she’s in bed). I’m alone with the baby from the moment she wakes up to the moment she goes to bed when he works weekends. We have been very COVID cautious because of his job and because we don’t want to expose our own child. When it was warm out this was fine, because at least on weekends alone I could take her for walks, sit outside in the yard, eat outside with a friend, etc. but the winter has been brutal. I am depressed and tired and lonely. I can’t bear the thought of washing one more dish or cleaning up the same five things in our house another time. I’m holding on for spring. I can empathize and that’s all I have to offer. [/quote]
