Thanks I’m advance to anyone who reads. But I’m in desperate need for advice or help.
I’m a single parent of 3 children aged 6 , 4 and 3.
I’ve had them all by myself since March 2020 since the pandemic hit and they were all pulled out of schools due to closures.
I was living with my mum for 2 years due to personal circumstances and I finally signed for my own tenancy for a house in December 2020,
Then we were hit with another national lockdown and children were again pulled from school,
Side note the children’s dads are not involved in their lives only for my youngest son and he lives across the country,
Anyway, so we are in another lockdown and I get ‘safe and well check’ calls from school 3 times a day as well as being expected to join these online live lessons at all hours of the day, I’ve already explained it’s hard as I only have my phone and I’m half way through a house move, bad mom alert I’ve been trying to get things sorted there before someone reports that there’s no one living there, it’s been hard and mom guilt hits heavy on my shoulders.
So, on Friday I had a call to ask to speak to my eldest, I said she’s not with me she’s staying with her nan for the night. All of a sudden the teacher hangs up and 20 minutes pass by and I get a call from the head teacher! The conversation went as:
Head teacher - ‘ I hear ...... is living with her nan, I am confused, she shouldn’t be living with someone else, does her nan live alone?? Is she in your support bubble?? I am very concerned’
I answered all of her questions. Yes her nan lives alone, yes she’s in my support bubble, yes I am aware we’re in a national lockdown but I’ve had these kids since March all by myself and all I needed was a little support, am I really in the wrong here? The head teacher was very sharp with me to the point I fear she may have reported it to the police or further, she has said she wants all the children back in school as of tomorrow, so they are going back, but I can’t help but feel she had no right to tell me I’m not allowed to have a support bubble or nose that far into my personal life. Please give your opinions, I’m worrying out of my mind I’ve spent all weekend having panic attacks and being ill over it.
