Schools during this pandemic ,isolating

[syke1981]

Hi I am a mother of 3 ,one daughter 2nd year of university and 2nd in high school and my youngest in primary school ,Eldest is 19 years old and youngest is 5 years old . I'm finding it hard in these times financially and emotionally as My eldest is home due to university being closed due to covid 19, my middle child had to be of school due to less staff in school of due to Carona and my youngest has been sent home to isolate due to someone in his year being positive to virus. I also am trying to get a job and do some training with my kids at home. Has anyone got any advice on how to manage and cope in this pandemic with only 2 laptops in house and everyone needs to use due to online schooling/university work/my assessments.. I am feeling overwhelmed and feeling I will have to sacrifice my studies for my kids.. please help

Draw up a rota so that all time gets split equally? You may need to do your work in the evenings once your 5 yo is in bed.
Ask your children’s school if they can provide paper work as you don’t have enough laptops at home. Most primary schools would oblige if it helped your child get the work done.

That sounds a good idea ,thank you for your advice.
