Limiting you daily/weekly load of responsibility

[Mumsie43]

How do other fulltime working single parents keep themselves afloat with daily life by not taking to much onboard including work politics
What is your Work / home life balance?

A ten minute commute
Plenty of holiday
A job I love
Fits in with school
Once a week no cook night
Family come first

You have children for limited time- when they are with another parent you can do what ever needs to be done.

I struggle in normal times, working 4 days and keeping sane with the gym and a social life when the kids are at their dads.
During Covid, working full time plus , out of the home (NHS). Kids pre/teen at home all the time (Dad is also a key worker) watching whatever on Netflix and doing very little school work. I run when I can; it helps but basically I feel like crap.
