Neighbour isn't a key worker

[TrulyOutrageousJem]

Since working from home I have moved my desk into the bay window. It's nice to see cars and occasionally people and to not be staring at a blank wall. I'm new to the street and only moved in two months ago so I'm not on chatting terms with anybody yet just a polite hello.

As I'm in the window I have noticed that my neighbour facing gets up each day, takes her small baby (younger than one) to the nursery and her kids to school then comes back home. She isn't working outside of the home as far as I can see and both her and her partner are there all day. She drops the smallest off at 8am and picks up at 5:30pm Monday - Friday so not even a reduced time. I like to keep to myself but it's driving me insane that she is playing the system while I have my small children, yes driving me insane, while trying to work and homeschool but that is just the way it is.

Today it looks like they are doing a spot of DIY because they are childless for the day/week?!?!!!

I desperately want to say something.

How do you know? Many local authority workers are key workers and are working from home and although it might not seem vital many support systems are homeworking whether it's management, logistics or IT, there are lots of office jobs that go behind the obvious stuff. Some of them don't need doing but it's possible she might be the only person in the whole authority that can do what she does (frighteningly this happens.) If the school are watching the kids she'll have good reason to send them and they'll have checked that out.
