Sherri Shepherd has been in quarantine at home with her 14-year-old son Jeffrey Charles during the coronavirus outbreak. The single mother reached her breaking point when she learned his school will not reopen until May.
Sherri, 52, took to Instagram to vent her frustration over being at home all day with her developmentally delayed son.
“I’m sorry, I just, I just found out that the Los Angeles Unified School District is pushing school back to May 1st,” she said tearfully.
“Jeffrey is going to be here for the rest of March, and he’s going to be doing online schooling for all of April. He’s going to be doing online schooling for all of May. We’re gonna be together 24/7 until the 1st of May.”
She turned to Jeffrey and said, “Jeffrey, you’re gonna be here until the 1st of May with me…
When Jeffrey assured her that she’ll be fine, she said, “Okay, I’ll be fine? Are you sure?”
She added: “I gotta cook breakfast, lunch and dinner for you for the next two months.”
Through her tears Sherri offered a public service announcement for her followers: “Wash your hands.”
Sherri isn’t the only working mom who is losing her religion after being stuck at home with her kid during the coronavirus lockdown.
Hospitals in California and New York are reporting a spike in child abuse cases that they believe is linked to stress from parents being forced to stay cooped up with their children.
