Homeschool fatigue- nearly there

Is anyone just utterly exhausted with this? In Scotland so my son is still home, back to school on Monday.
I feel I'm on my last nerve, trying to work from home and keep an eye on him, help with school work plus all the usual house chores too. Plus I have a job interview tomorrow; so tired as I can't sleep at night. Just a general moan! Anyone feeling the same?

I was.

I was so glad that DS went in yesterday and felt even better that his 2 sister went today.

Although his eldest is in 6th form college so now on a Thursday dad drops of at 8.30 (I'm dropping the other 2 off at school), then I get her at 10 and take her back for 11.30 as they can't be on site if they have no lesson and she going to have to loiter around the college for the 40 mins before her last lesson.

God yes. I'm in Wales in DS is in year 9, so he's not back until after Easter. He should be perfectly capable of getting on with it himself but he has well and truly hit a wall with it all now and I keep catching him on Minecraft/YouTube/Discord and handing in criminally sloppy work, whereas up until a week or so ago he was doing fine.

Spiderlight I thinks that’s another issues children are just sick to death at being at home all the time.

Even though my dc know they’re only in school for 13 days before the Easter holidays are still excited to be at school or college

Dd went back on Monday.
I’ve got my day off today and I have mainly just slept

Desperate for schools to be back now. I'm working from home and homeschooling. When I'm working my daughter shamefully spends most of the day on Minecraft. She's 8. She used to do some work independently, but refuses now. We're in Wales so she'll be back on Monday.
