What a shame that Anna can’t make the effort with all the balloons for her family’s achievements or birthdays. the Glee in her face that she finally has the staff back and has got rid of 2 kids for the day (the naughty kids!)
Urgh! I can’t with her anymore
Actually; I think what annoys me most with this is that I’m classed as a key worker, single parent (only 1 child), with no support.
Luckily, although I’m a key worker, my job means I can do it from home. My days are a constant juggle. Here was my day yesterday (most days look similar)
0530 wake up
0600-0830 I worked
0830-0900 breakfast and get her ready for the day
0900-1300 home schooling but I’m also on call for work if anyone needs me
1300-1330 lunch and set her up with a task for the afternoon
1300-1600 work
1600-2030 we go for a walk, do something nice together, make dinner and eat together, bed time routine and we read before she goes to bed at 2030
2030-2300 I worked
I’ve done this since March 19th. I have no support. I could have sent my daughter to school this whole time. This would have reduced my working day so much but I made the decision to stay at home because that was what was best for the 2 of us.
we are in wales and our schools reopen on June 29th. This was announced yesterday. I’ve already been on to my management and HR to make sure that I can still go in to work and keep her home for the remainder of the school year.
I am not saying that they shouldn’t have sent E2 and A1 back to school. But I certainly think they need to get perspective. They haven’t had it difficult. The only big change they’ve had to do is actually spend more time with their bloody kids
