The objective of this work was to identify the difficulties and solution strategies of mothers of school-aged boys and girls, who were participants in a virtual self-help group during the COVID-19 confinement. Data was collected through documentary analysis and in depth questioning in the self-help group. The virtual field work was carried out during May and June 2020. During the pandemic, the main difficulties experienced by mothers of young children aged 3 to 12 years were: the overload of activities, stress, and exhaustion. This caused them feelings of anxiety, uncertainty, irritability, tiredness, and emotions of guilt and fear. The results made it possible to show the vulnerability of women, based on gender socialization, that has promoted an unequal distribution of roles and activities between both genders, assigning a greater burden of responsibilities to them. The importance of strengthening self-care, a social support network and co-responsibility with partners to  face  adverse  situations  is  highlighted. La pandemia por COVID-19 ha tenido un impacto social, económico y de salud física y emocional en la población, siendo las mujeres uno de los grupos mayormente afectados. El objetivo del presente trabajo fue identificar las dificultades y estrategias de solución de madres de niños y niñas en edad escolar, participantes de un grupo de autoayuda virtual durante el confinamiento por COVID-19. La recolección de datos se realizó mediante un análisis documental y una serie de preguntas detonadoras en el grupo de autoayuda. El trabajo de campo virtual se realizó durante los meses de mayo y junio de 2020. Durante la pandemia, las principales dificultades de las madres de familia con hijos e hijas pequeños, en edad entre 3 a 12 años, fueron sobrecarga de actividades, estrés y agotamiento, que les provocaron sentimientos de preocupación, incertidumbre, irritabilidad, cansancio y emociones de culpa y miedo. Los resultados permitieron evidenciar la vulnerabilidad de las mujeres, en función de la socialización de género, que ha promovido una distribución desigual de roles y actividades entre ambos sexos, asignando mayor carga de responsabilidades a ellas. Se destaca la importancia de fortalecer el autocuidado, la red de apoyo social y la corresponsabilidad con la pareja para hacer frente a las situaciones adversas.
