How's everyone holding up to all the craziness and stress in our world?

Hi! We are managing. It’s been craziness here with distance learning for the big kid and the tiny tornado interrupting every two minutes.
Other than we are sort of fine. Just staying home.

Hiii!!!
Lord help us.
The literal ONLY positives is I think O is ready to PT and school was fighting us on trying. So we can maybe do that at home?
Otherwise though we are doing the best we can and it’s very very difficult. MH and I are both WFH FT right now.

Hi everyone! I’ve had to close my business for now and it doesn’t look like I fall in any of the categories for government aid (Canada). Technically I can stay open because I’m classified as a restaurant and can do takeout/delivery, but with daycare closed and not willing to leave DS with 60+ relatives for their own safety, I’m closed. Thankfully my husband is able to work from home and in a stable industry. I know I will make it through this but my stress level is through the roof. I’m having weddings being rescheduled that are supposed to happen at the end of July, it’s so scary to think how long this will go on for.
Being a SAHM with a toddler is now my new normal. Definitely haven’t adjusted yet, I need to figure out some activities to do. My adult colouring books and pencil crayons aren’t cutting it lol. I would really like to use this time to dive into potty training. He‘s been using it before bath time every night since Christmas, but I rarely can get him to any other time. Twice this week I’ve tried to put him in pull ups and it’s been an epic meltdown.

We are ok. My work has slowed down but I still have a job for now. Dh is WFH and the kids are still in daycare for now. We are wearing masks at work with any patient contact. We told out parents not to visit this spring. Hopefully my work can get an SBA loan so we don't have to loose employees.

Hiiii! I am SAH/trying to go to school full time and it is kind of rough. The 2 year old is the biggest challenge BY FAR. She is halfway ready to PT - she'll pee in underpants if I put them on her, but she rips off her diaper to go on the toilet on the regular. It's an annoying in between stage that I've never had to deal with with my older kids. Other than that we're just hanging in there!

I'm not cut out for this SAHM gig. It's been a month but it seemed like the longest month ever.... I teach online so thankfully my job is safe but I'm trying to do FT working with kids from 24/7 with little sympathy from DH. I keep telling myself that this too shall pass but it could hurry the eff up now that would be great.

I am not great with being a teacher. I hate virtual school but I understand that it’s necessary.

I cannot get my work done and also all the things and also teach my kids and manage them all the time. I’m so, so burnt out.
