Hi Alison, it sounds like you're doing just fine. I am pretty relaxed about any 'education' my kids are getting. This is a time to survive, not to try to excel. My kids are old enough to not need nagging, and they are curious about the world and learn a lot independently outside any schoolwork, so I am trusting them to get on with things. Ds1 bought a keyboard and he and ds2 have been hanging out together playing it! Your H seems to be getting his priorities right even under a lot of pressure, I hope that continues. Good luck in establishing a decent routine, at least you have your dog to walk! I kind of wish I'd got one now, the main reason I didn't was because I was going to go travelling this year. Ha!
