Anxious over kids going back into school

My husband is a key worker and my job is not something I can do at home. My kids are having to go into school tomorrow and I'm feeling so anxious about it.

My husband is on a decent wage but at times like these I cant afford to quit my job in case something happens to his. I'm almost hoping we just go into lockdown so non essential workers get sent home. I work in property so it's only a matter of weeks before things start to go south.

Mine and my husbands holidays dont start again until April so we're both booking weeks off once available again.

Anyone else in a similar position where they cant work from home? Seriously thinking of going for parental leave and not getting paid.

Both myself and husband (not dcs dad) are key workers, I’m also really worried about them going in.
I’ve managed to change some things around so they would only need to be there for 2 days but I’d still rather they weren’t! Realistically I cannot leave my dcs on their own for a 10 hr shift so I don’t have a choice.

So I feel for you.
It’s a crap position to be in all round
