So I’m heading into week 10 of homeschooling a 5 and 7 year old, cooking, cleaning, entertaining etc. I’m also trying to work from home. My husband is a keyworker so his job takes priority at the moment. I’m in Scotland so no schools back until August.
My work are fairly understanding ‘do what you can’ but I have to record all the hours I am working so they can keep track of the hours I’m not able to work. I also still have work coming in and being allocated to me. I’ve been working morning, evening and weekends and through my holiday leave just to avoid falling behind (on hours and work). I’ve had no 1:1 contact from my manager since the start of lockdown. My job is stressful and needs a fair amount of concentration. I’m public sector so can’t be furloughed.
I feel like this week I’ve hit a brick wall with it. I’m absolutely exhausted, demotivated and cannot concentrate. I just want my ‘old normal’ back! Sorry a bit of a pity post but just wondered if anyone else feeling the same? Not that there is a magic solution but at least I would feel like it’s not just me!
