That perfect mom you see on Facebook already has an entire bottle of wine in her recycling bin from today alone. And hey, know what? that’s cool. This is a triage situation and you need to do what’s best for you and your family right now. Screw literally everything else.

Except your job. You definitely need to keep that. If it’s a choice between your kid watching tv and keeping your job, KEEP YOUR JOB. That’s what’s best for your kid, too.

I have been home with my kids for six years. And formally homeschooling for one or two. I dunno. It’s not really formal. But I’ve been reading and preparing to be home with my kids as their for YEARS. Guess how much schooling we’ve gotten done amid this?pic.twitter.com/bdwnUm2Bsj

It is more than OK for you to prioritize your own mental, emotional, financial and physical health at this time over a zoom meeting that your kid’s teachers have put together because they want to feel like they’re still doing their jobs. That is what you should be doing.

I’ve been doing these pep talks on Instagram stories every few days because it is driving me nuts seeing my friends drive themselves nuts. It’s so unnecessary and makes an already awful situation utterly unbearable.
