I don't actually wfh - I'm a teacher but I do exam marking. Now school has broken up and the exam marking is still going. I've finished my quota but there is more available and I just can't relax and stop it. I'm a single mother to 2 teens whose ex pays nothing so I do need the money for the summer, but I don't need every last penny. If I did no more it wouldn't cause me a problem but I just can't stop.
Reading it back, it probably doesn't sound like a problem, but I just can't relax. If I'm not doing it I feel and anxious and guilty, even though I know that it'll stop any day now anyway and I've done plenty. I feel like I'm neglecting the dc, though realistically they are not going to spend hours a day with me now unless we go out anyway. It just feels like all they see me do is sit over a bloody laptop as I'm always doing school work in the evenings and now this. I also have stuff to do for September as well when this does end...
Disclaimer: I don't want anyone to think I'm rushing through the marking - I'm very accurate and haven't been stopped at all this year. I take a break if I feel I need to of course - but after an hour or so I'm back to it, so it's marking or house work all day long!
