@thisfeller I’m sorry you are going through that. I can see why another parent might resent the other for taking on more of the load during the pandemic. I think we are all having a hard time adapting to the situation we’re in. And as adults, I personally think we worry this is going to have a...

@vlasit Thank you for your reply. I’m so sorry you are going through such a touch situation as well. I really do hope that we can get these kids back to school ASAP so that they can get back into their routines. I had a heartfelt conversation with my daughter the other day after this and we both...

@katrina2017 I will add too that he’s always been the more fun parent because of the EOW arrangement but it’s only more enhanced now because I’m just a mean old bossy mom and teacher’s assistant.

@katrina2017 Both. Our custody arrangement provides that he gets every other weekend (different rules for holidays and summer/winter vacation). His work schedule isn’t as flexible as mine but he didn’t want to do any type of split situation anyway, we tried it in the spring and she came home...

@arjunsuresh That’s a great recommendation! I will look into that.

@marcosgpro These are all great ideas! Thank you so much!

@prabakaran That’s a good idea, thank you! I often have quite frank conversations with my daughter to encourage an open dialogue. I hadn’t thought about this though, thanks very much!

@gofthesearching Thanks, I agree it’s important to just think about this in terms of basic survival. I do work shortened days to help her with school but it’s not the fun stuff that we normally would do, and it takes longer than pre-covid homework would. So I think that’s where a lot of the...

@lexmark Thanks for your reply. I’m so sorry you are going through this. It sounds like you have a good system in place and I’ll take these recommendations into consideration. I hope things get better soon for everyone!

@fedya Her teacher has been super helpful and accommodating! We tend to do leftover daytime schoolwork after I’m done with work, and the teacher is really flexible with due dates.

@katrina2017 This is a good idea. Thanks!

@ebetch84 You’re in a good position. I wish he would be more helpful but when I have sent actual homework with her to his house, he brings it back the next day and says they were too busy. It blows my mind

@katrina2017 Thank you. I’m sorry you’re also going through this. It’s just so awful. As a working parent, I do appreciate seeing my daughter more but it’s not how I would like to spend our time together. We do try to plan a “fun day” - usually Sundays so I will keep doing that.

7 year old lives primarily with me (mom), and has every other weekend at her Dad’s. Due to COVID, I was able to move to working remotely to supervise my child’s e-learning, and it was important to me that she had an organized and consistent place she could call her own for remote schooling, plus...
