First day of online learning

My kids are doing their first day of online learning. Since schools are closed until the 17th, this is what has to be done. I have to say they have been pretty good about it. I'm definitely glad about that. Me on the other hand, not sure how I'm doing. Having to set up 3 kids on 3 different computers, finding the right zoom link, making sure they have what they need, and all. I was definitely all over the place. My head was definitely spinning a bit. It's definitely been busy morning for me. Oh boy ... Hopefully, next week will be a little easier. I'm definitely keeping my fingers crossed.

I can definitely imagine that it's difficult for the teachers as well. I can only imagine.

That does sound like a very busy morning trying to get your 3 kids set up for online school today. Some schools here have gone back to online too for the next few weeks.

It definitely was. Hopefully, it's a little easier next week. We'll see. Hopefully it goes well for the kids in your area.

@dodo19 its not easy doing school online but after being in lockdown for so long I think kids and parents are a little better prepared.

It says you work at home. Do you make things to sell or just write?

I mostly just write. I now also have a part time job, working at the front desk of a yoga studio.

My kids are in the school now but I understand you, as I was just like you when they were home and had online lessons.

My kids have been back at school since last week. The first morning was definitely hectic. But it did get easier. I'm just glad they're back at school.

@dodo19 I love to have my kids with me but I have to admit that it was a relief when they went back to the school.

It was pretty tiring the first day. It's gotten a bit easier. They're doing fairly well all things considering.

It's got to be hard for everyone to do online learning.

I'm sure it is. Not an easy situation for anyone.

You're lucky you have the three different computers. What happens in a household with multiple children and only one (or none) computer?

We were able to borrow them from the school. I know we're not the only ones who were able to. At least that's what they do at their school and I'm sure other schools may have a similar thing.

I hope it get easier next week. That would be a lot of work setting up three children.

It was a lot of work. Thankfully it did get easier, and now they've been back at school since last week.

It is alot of added work for the parents. A co-worker of mine was telling me that his son and his friends all go to a gaming site, and when they are not doing their school work they are together there having fun. I suppose it is like skipping out as they do it during the school day.

Oh how old are your kids? Having 3 kids requires a full time motherhood for sure.

They're 10, 8, and 6. It's definitely a full time thing.
