I know I should leave Facebook but it’s so useful at the moment I can’t. I might block some people though Hmm

Is it just us who are finding lockdown with 4 kids BLOODY HARD?! Home schooling has been impossible and there’s lots of fighting. Don’t get me started on the mess!!

Any hints or tips to help us through, please?! 😱

Mine are 10 8 6 and 3 and it's chaos here. Our day goes like this (and I've tried other ways but they always end up in disaster) up at 630 screens.

Breakfast at 7 complaint they don't like cereal or toast.
School work til 9 them complaining how boring it is.
9 I shower while they do BBC bitesize but actually just play on ipads.
We go out for a walk 10 til 12 and everything is calmer but it's exhausting. It's lovely to have chats with the though whilst we walk.
Lunch 12.
Film 12.30 til 2
Garddn time. Fighting. I do house work.
4pm another homework taaks. Then ipad or TV til dinner at 5.30.
6pm I go work. Dh takes over. More screens legi and fighting continues. Like actual physical fights Hmm
Bed about 8 I think
As much as I do love them being here it's like a rubbish version of the 6 week holiday except at least then we get to go out for days.

Terribly . I have 4 and I hate it all. It’s stressful and I’m losing the will

I’m ripping my hair out . It’s so hard being at home all day . My toddler has just poured fairy liquid all over my stair carpet . He’s hard work without nursery routine and constantly fighting with my 5 year old . Bed times are non existent as nap time is later. My 11 year old and 14 year old want to game it all day . Husband is driving me nuts . He’s off work and he hates it . We’ve done the garden , washed the cars , jet washed the drive . They also won’t stop eating .
this !
