[quote=Anonymous]Op,

This is hard, isolating, and exhausting.

Try to carve out some time just for yourself.  Talk to your DH about how you’re feeling burnt out.  Grab your mask and go for a walk where you wouldn’t be able to take your kids.

Find some zoom events that you can do when the kids are in bed and connect with other adults or exercise your brain like with a class.  Or maybe play backgammon with your DH.  (Or strip poker—whatever floats your boat.)

I agree with another poster, make a plan with your kids every day and have fun.  I like this website for ideas:

My kid has SN. Pre-pandemic  we didn’t get play date invites.  Connecting with other sn families could be difficult b/c of therapy schedules, juggling more than one kid’s schedule, distance, work schedules.  So we did a lot of things on our own.  Ideal?  No, but we just our best.  You can too!

This thread seems overly harsh, and just so you know you can link it in website feedback and ask the host to lock or delete it.  You don’t need any more knocks to your self esteem.

I also think trying to find preschool options for your kids might help.

These suggestions might not be ideal.  We aren’t living in ideal times.  Know that you’re not alone.  A lot of people are in the same boat.  Think outside the box.[/quote]
