Moral support thread for home schooling primary children while working

[Indecisivelurcher]

Yesterday I managed to take a phone call with my right hand side while my left hand side did a funny faces sticker book?!

Would love some company!

My kids are 3.5 and 6 (yr1). I am lucky that I only work part time and dh is also at home to share the load. School are pushing the 'this is compulsory' message and sending a load of spudding twinkl worksheets. We don't have a printer...

Silence... Does this mean everyone else is fine, or everyone else is so far from fine they are not hiding on mumsnet...

I'm here 🙋🏻‍♀️

Six year old and both working from home too. The one year old is at nursery thank goodness.

There seems to be much more to do than last time. We had to get our printer down from the loft and it's about twenty years. My other half has been sweating at it all morning.

We are doing alternate days. Not my turn today thank goodness. Hopefully I can get some work done.

I rang school yesterday as we both work and my child has a plan in place to help with his reading and writing I was so sad he was going to fall even further behind because he just wouldn't sit and stay at the laptop for online learning. They have now accepted him back at school!

Twenty years old!

It feels like it's been twenty years though, sadly only day three of many

I've also just dredged a printer out of the loft! Speed ordering ink...

Be prepared

Ha ha ha

This wasn't a roaring success but I could really do with it working 😬 so far today Dd's done 1.5 worksheets, hit me with a pencil and had 2 timeouts.
