I feel the exact same way and in the same boat. I have a 5th grader and a 1st grader with a 7 month old. We are going through the same thing, my 1st grader i have to be right there with her to help her every step and my 5th grader wont do anything unless im sitting right there helping her practically giving answers. She finds every excuse to not do homework and then throws tantrums. Its horrible, ive tried everything possible. Its so stressful im at my wits end most days and feel like im failing and not the mom i want to be. If i focus on the house im slacking on the school work and if i focus on the school work the house slacks. We literally work on homework from sun up to sun down.
I’m in the same boat except I have 1 child in virtual kindergarten. He gets a lot of homework and its a real struggle to catch up or stay caught up. As soon as he sits down to do homework he starts tearing up then as he’s doing the work he gets argumentative if I try to explain the assignment or correct his work. I spoke with his teacher about it and thankfully she is very understanding. She suggested letting him do his work a little more independently. I just set him up and quickly go over his assignments and let him go. I won’t help unless he asks me to. His teacher said his work doesn’t have to be perfect and she will correct any mistakes or incomplete work with him so that takes some pressure off of me. Reach out to your children’s teachers. They understand what we’re going through and are in the best position to offer guidance.

Why are kinder kids getting homework?? Mine didn’t… he did basic alphabet/colour by numbers etc purely to amuse him while I sat with my grade 1. We chose what was important and ignored the rest! Email the teachers… tell them your doing what you can. Then let your kids be kids. Get them to measure ingredients for cooking, draw puzzles in chalk outside. They’re young with plenary of time to catch up. 
Send them to school. If there is no in person school, just have her do it when she feels like it. Teach her stuff at home.
You’re not a teacher, you didn’t create these stupid rules, and you can’t fail a third grader. They’ll just pass her on like everyone else.
Yes I go through this. I think a lot of us do. All you can do is your best and it sounds like you are spread pretty thin. Maybe cook on saturdays and Sunday’s and freeze meals for later in the week? I would say for your 3rd grader (I have a 4th and 2nd grader) she needs to learn how to do more on her own. Maybe have a meeting with the teacher and explain how she isn’t absorbing the information. The teachers expect way too much. We are not teachers, we are moms. And we can only do so much.

Just keep in mind that the teachers are on your side. Email her teacher and ask for tips. Teachers are aware that this is a hard situation and many parents aren’t equipped to be teaching 24/7. Trust me, for your kids your best is enough💕

Do you have a father in the house? I’m not trying to be mean, I’m asking because maybe he can help you out with the school work, house hold chores and meals. Just saying if there is two parents in the house then both of you should be doing their part. If your a single mother doing all of this on your own. Give yourself a pat on the back and stop being so hard on yourself. Your doing the best that you can.
Try rewarding and punishing their efforts
YES YES YES IAM girl just try to be strong let’s be real if nobody else knows I do your story is my story I have a 6 year old 5 year old and just turned 1 year old it’s hard don’t not over think or over stress yourself forget virtual do your own curriculum I got math work books writing and reading workbooks from dollar tree most days it’s hard for me to believe it’s going to be ok but at the end of the day it always is just hang in there mama sending so much love your way because I understand 
stop the preschool with your little one. Neither of my kids had preschool and did great in kindergarten…3rd grade is far more important than preschool. 
find activities your son can do while she does school work and help her.
Stop giving her the answers and set consistent consequences for the 3rd grader not doing her work. No screen time until caught up. Or no bedroom door until caught up. Or no favorite snacks until caught up. Or no outings until work is caught up. Set rewards for getting her work done, like more of any of the above, but no matter what STOP doing it for her. You are setting the expectation that you will allow this behavior to continue by… Wait for it… ALLOWING the behavior to continue…
Yes, your not alone! I’m so over this and the stress it’s putting on families. My kids are 5tha nd 7th grade and you would think the 7th grader was taking college courses do to the amount of work she is getting. Sitting in front of a computer from 8am - 2:40pm and then getting back on from 5pm to 11pm doing homework almost every night. This is not ok and making my kids hate school ad me feel horrible because I have to work full time. I feel like I’m constantly nagging them to do their work and I hate it.

I am going through similar situation. I have a 3rd grader and kindergartener, they both need me to be there during their virtual class bkz otherwise they get distracted and it’s also difficult bkz Ive been working from home too. I find myself not giving them full attention, and feeling guilty afterwards. The older one doesn’t like to do homework and I too get emails that he’s behind. I am just trying to stay positive and focus on the important things like the fact that we’re home together and healthy. You are not alone. This will pass. Don’t stress and do the best you can. Remind yourself that you are a great mama just for caring. God bless.
I commend all of you moms that are going through this and feel sincere empathy. I can’t imagine how hard it would have been to work, be a mom and a teacher at the same time. Along with all the other things that we are going through because of covid. Bless you all.
