If it helps to hear you aren’t alone, let me tell you my situation. First I note that kids lost access to schools, daycare, friends, grandparents, cousins, playgrounds, and have their parents actively ignoring them through the day. They also lost ice cream stores, toy stores, cinemas, etc if they were doing that as well. They don’t have any control. Their natural instinct is to continue to play if they can and push the boundaries if they can. And when kids get depressed they often act out more paradoxically. This leads to chaos if you’re also trying to work from home. I feel for my kids. So I don’t apologize to others if they intrude on my work; they are people too and going through the crisis too. But yes it is extremely stressful some portion of every day. I try myself to not blame them or myself for putting up with the situation, because that leads to frustration and anger and more stress; my wife and I are trying to create more and more capability in my home for the kids to self-entertain every day. We have a new daily structure. Goal charts. School time. Online learning games. Outdoor time. Messenger kids. Etc. It’s not painless. My wife and I are taking shifts during daylight hours so I work well past midnight every night to catch up. That also is impacting my ability to stay positive. But every day is a new day. Good luck and don’t be hard on yourself.
