As a mommy of 4 and my oldest just turned 6, I know how you feel. Make a schedule of what you want the kids to accomplish school wise in the day. Make it something you know can be done in a few hours. I don't know about where you live but we have part day kindergarten here and my kids learn more in a few hours with me than they do in the same hours in public school. Yeah we tried it. Everyone gets chores. And all the kids including my 2 year old go to take a nap even if they just read. That gives me time to regroup. Since they don't go to school I need that break and so do they. During school the younger two get to do art or watch educational videos on the computer with thier own headset. They feel like a part of the class and they pick things up.
