[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP don't quit, as suggested. Don't worry about schooling your oldest. It doesn't matter. DH was on a call today when a guy had his toddler run in. He said "gotta go" and left the call. Just do that if you need to. Ask for forgiveness later. If you and DH can schedule calls at different times you can cover each other. It's not ideal but someone can work 6-2 while the other works 2-9. [/quote]

This. This happened to me yesterday. I was on a call that went 30 mins over and counting and I had 20 mins to get the kids settled before my next call. I told my colleague I have to go to if the call continues to settle the kids before my next call. I said it like that. I figure it is what it is.[/quote]

^THIS.  We are living in unprecedented times where we are all doing the best we can.  OP, ask for what you need.  Full stop.  If you need to ask to reschedule certain calls to make your life easier or to build some slack in your day, you should totally do so (the worst they can say is no). We're all in this together, and we're figuring it out as we go. Let's give everyone (including ourselves) a little grace while we figure out our new rules of the road.  Do what's right for you and just be up front with what you need and what can do when.  We'll get there.  [/quote]
