I reached my breaking point as a self-employed, single mom when my family recently got COVID-19. Parenting has only gotten harder after 2 years

Quick summary:

1. A job would have to pay me enough to justify putting my daughter in aftercare, but that does nothing to help my son, whose day care doesn't offer extended hours due to pandemic restrictions.

2. My daughter went into school on Monday and told everyone in her second-grade class, including the teacher, that I was dying of COVID-19 — I actually had very mild symptoms — and then proclaimed she had a sore throat.

3. I finally had time to walk my dog in the mornings, write during the day, and tutor after school on days my kids were at their dad's
