Trying to work from home as a teacher while simultaneously taking care of my 4 year old and dealing with my paranoia surrounding this virus is bone tiring. I am exhausted to the core. Lately my daughter has become very sassy and defiant. Anything basic I ask of her is met with a resounding “NO”. Tonight, at the end of my rope, I asked her to come to get ready for bed. Again her response was “NO”. So I said, “okay stay up as late as you want”. 30 minutes later I said “since you apparently want to be a grown up who makes all your own decisions, I’m going to let you be a grown up. Tonight you’ll need to get dressed by yourself, read your own book and put yourself to bed”. She became hysterical right away and would not stop crying. I feel bad but I am also at my wits end. I cannot simultaneously work all day, care for a defiant 4 year old and maintain my sanity in the midst of a pandemic. I feel like a shitty employee, a terrible mother and overall a horrible human being. This is far too much for one person to deal with. Send help.
