I work for the Local authority. I'm a key worker. Part time. Been off self isolating as myself and both children have had symptoms. Due back next week.

1 childs school is open. Great. Younger childs provision is not (not of a school age) Grandparents usually look after younger child. Not able to, given that they are all 70 plus with numerous health issues. Children's dad, my husband , lives with his parents. We're seperated .

Work have relaxed working hours, so I can go in pretty much any time of the day, including Saturday's. Except I can't, because I have the small child. Ex/In laws will have him if I WFH. But not if I go to the office, as the client group I work with us high risk with several having tested positive, and no PPE being provided. I understand their stance, it's in line with guidelines.

Work are saying that they are looking into WFH but IT is not currently ready. What I think they mean is they haven't bought any laptops. Some staff ARE WFH.

So, wise ones of mumsnet, wtf do I do?

parental leave or ex move in with you or your children go stay with them.

Ex is abusive, so no to that, also, he wouldn't. The in laws won't have the kids full time.
The input from that side, is that they will have youngest while I WFH.
