I feel you. My kids have been at home during this pandemic because the schools are shut down and I cannot imagine what the parents working full time and dealing with this are going through.

Some things I do with my family after a stressful day is order a pizza and have a movie night, this seems to help everyone relax a bit. Things I do personally for myself is take a warm bath with some hot tea. I also go for a short walk when it is warm enough outside.

As a mom, I struggle with that too, trying to get everything done, while being present. But i do find that with kids, the more simple the better. They just want us and out time. things do not have to be complex, even small things reading a bedtime story, or actually sitting down together for dinner helps.
