[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am just BURNT out. I just have this deep rage now and scream at my kids over little things. One moment I'm Mary Poppins (a teleworking full time one) and then I'm just the Hulk. I don't know what is wrong with me but I can't deal. My 1.5 and 3 year old are just too much. They need a new activity every 15 minutes and they don't like TV. I'm saving my leave for if/when we get it, plus it's my only connection to the outside world. At night I just can't sleep. Last time I went in at 9:30 and it was after 1am by the time I got to sleep. I've taken benadryl too. I basically just want to drink until this has all passed by.

All of our savings were in the stock market, so we definitely need our jobs too. [/quote]

This is very disturbing. It is unreasonable to expect that a 1.5yo and 3yo can entertain themselves. At the same time, it is unreasonable to expect you to entertain them AND work all day. You need someone to help you. Sure, you might have a 10% chance of contracting coronavirus (hopefully not this much, assuming you find someone responsible who is socially distancing) but by continuing on your current path, [b]you have a 100% chance of[/b] [b]damaging and your children’s mental health[/b].[/quote]

Theirs and ours. I truly feel like I am going to have a nervous breakdown soon. I'm the poster above with the 4 and 2 year old. [/quote]
