We've reached our limit. 2 parents juggling working from home and looking after our 2 yr old. Both in professional jobs that require concentration, which is difficult at the best of times, but with a 2 yr old at home constantly for 12 weeks its becoming impossible.
Usually DD goes nursery 3 days a week whilst I work. Nursery is still closed.
Everyone we know is either using their parents (grandparents) or nursery for childcare. Does everyone you know do this?
Are we wrong to consider asking our parents to help us? Both sets live close by but until now we have seen them only twice and maintained social distance. Both sets are in their late 60s/early 70s. We would be so grateful even for just a day of help to enable us to work.
