Her three children, now aged 12, 16 and 20 years were doing home-based learning, and both parents were working from home at the time, said Mrs Ang, an administrator.At the time, they had just moved into a new flat and had no access to the Internet. The Wi-Fi service took time to be set up, and the family ended up buying a data card, she told CNA.“Everybody was crammed at the dining table. My husband was having meetings, and I was there, I was irritated.
Her employer is also understanding that she may not be “on the ball” in the mornings on some days during the period of home-based learning and has been supportive, she said. She added that when her daughter's school gives more information, they will work out a timetable for her, to create a setting as similar to school as possible. This includes scheduling break times and getting her to ask for permission to go to the toilet.“ just things to make it as normal as possible, to make it feel like yes, she’s still in a classroom setting, and that it’s not an early holiday,” she said.
She will return home daily by about 4pm, and her husband will start working from home next week, she added.Ms Soh, who also has a two-year-old son, said that she will be continuing to send him to pre-school so that those at home can work without distraction. “I find that it keeps me more sane. Three hours with them at home feels like 30 hours, especially when they fight a lot," said the 34-year-old, adding that both her children require her attention at the same time.
