If you're both still working with no childcare

[helia]

If you're both still working with no childcare how much are you managing to get done a day?

DH and I are both still working full time although without childcare. DC is 3 years old.

My employer has told me to do what I can and top up my time sheet with a credit for any hours I don't work.

I'm able to do around 5 or 6 hours a day (I ought to be doing 7.5) and DH is able to do 6 or 6.5 (he's meant to do 8). We are both pretty tired now and it just feels relentless. I feel like I ought to be doing more but I'm really struggling with energy and time.

I was just wondering how this compares to what others in a similar position are doing. I don't know anyone else in work in the same boat and can't gauge if I should be pushing myself more to do more and to get more done, or if it would be acceptable (and not lazy) to ease off a bit. I feel stressed at times.

Our working day starts at 6 am and doesn't finish until over 12 hours later, albeit we work in fits and starts.

Thank you very much. to anyone in the same or similar position.

If our school did any award for kids sending work in I'd go mental. And I'm a school governor. They wouldn't do it. They know some families struggle normally, never mind this. On our last group telecom all the parent governors shared their own horror stories.
I'm getting increasingly wound up by DH employer being totally unreasonable about family flexibility, but now redundancies threatened too so we can't say anything.
I'm only keeping sane by realising that we have friends who have lost one or both parents jobs or are about to. One family we know have 3 kids and two high paid jobs with airlines which are about to evaporate. They can't easily just get new jobs. They must be in a seriously grim place
