I am a key worker and work 30 hrs a week I have a 12 and a 13 yr old and although my 12 yr uses the school provision for key worker children 3 days a week my daughter doesn't. She gets herself up works out her own working timetable and gets on with her work so well she works so hard and never complains about the work but I am never home to be with her. BUT most of her friends have stopped working at home now and parents have e mailed in saying they have given up now and that their children and them are enjoying the freedom of no school. A few of her friends parents have been furloughed a few don't work and one has resigned from her job to be at home with her children. Her friends are all meeting up and because very few parents are working they can be dropped off to meet in town mid morning but I work every day so can't do this. I feel so guilty because I have to work I could resign to be with them but I need the money. I feel so guilty going off to work every day when other children are being taken here there and everywhere. AIBU to think that it is still term time and not the school holidays or is it because I am just jealous of other parents not needing to work? I just think she is going to look back on this time in the future and think that I was too busy working to be able to spend time with her or take her here there and everywhere so she can see her friends!!
