A mother's definitive poster for teleworking with children at home 2026

The closure of all educational centers as a shock measure against the coronavirus crisis that, unfortunately, is changing the daily lives of Spanish families, has made many parents put their hands on their heads. A measure that is joined by teleworking, also mandatory in some sectors for the duration of the confinement.

With both, a new panorama is painted in many Spanish families who have had to go from their usual daily routines, to dealing with the obligations of their work (from home) and with acting as teachers for their children: who now study through a screen.

Although, on the one hand, it is a highly positive situation to spend quality time with the family, there are many parents who “put their hands on their heads,” as Adrián Cordellat literally states in this article.

Children need help with their homework, with the Internet connection, or simply require maternal or paternal attention to play. The elderly, meanwhile, demand time of solitude and concentration to be able to carry out work hours without being affected by being at home and having to take care of the children.

Mom is in a meeting

A situation that makes us all square our imagination and, without a doubt, take it with a great sense of humor. An example of both is the idea of ​​influencer Susana García (@beautyblog) who has shared the solution to this problem on her social networks.

Given the incipient importance of entering a virtual meeting and needing silence from her family, she decided to hang a sign on the door of the room where she was meeting in which she made it clear that “mom will be in a meeting from 11:30 to 12:15”, along with a no entry symbol. Since mothers are wise and know how to anticipate the future, she knew before she started that her children would need her for something at that hour and a quarter and she used her imagination: “the answer to your question is one of the following” and then she wrote down the most common answers of all mothers to their children's questions. “I don't know what to eat” or “no” are just two examples of them.

It is true that this poster can be adapted to the age of each child and that it is not viable if it is very small, but, of course, it will save more than one mother and father at some point during confinement. We know this because its wonderful initiative has already been retweeted by almost 10,000 people and has reached 48 thousand likes on Twitter. In addition, he is also collecting successes on Instagram, where he is about to reach 1,500 likes.
