To send kids in all 5 days when I only work 3

Husband and I are both key workers, both unable to work from home, husband has Asperger and eldest dd yr4 has ASD, youngest is 5.

Mum died suddenly last year, dad is miles away and an abusive alcoholic, husbands parents are both dead. We have no one to offer support. No friends due to husbands and eldest conditions.

Ive had to go back on anti depression tablets and diazepam for extreme anxiety as losing my mum and since March have not had a minute away from the children unless I have been at work.

I work 3 days but considering sending my children in the the full 5 as I am at breaking point.
Am I unreasonable? I've no one talk to about this in real life so please be gentle.

Don't worry about feeling you have to justify yourself.
I highly doubt those sticking the boot in have spent 5 minutes in schools doing key worker and vulnerable provision. They are probably overly irritated based on a limited understanding of how things have been working.

This is so obviously YANBU I'm surprised you need to ask. Send 'em in all 5 days and good luck to you!
