To think she should just go back to working in the office?

Dh now works from home (unless he's travelling away which is probably 50% of the time but supposedly going to decrease). He does have an office he could go to but he says that because most of the people he works with are now in different countries there's no value added by going to the office and he may as well stay at home.

However since I had dd and am at home too he's got increasingly aggressive about us making any noise. We are basically confined to the living room with the door shut. He had come down to the kitchen just to get a coffee and was still on a call. I went in to get dd a bottle and he made a throat slitting motion and mouthed 'fuck off.' In having to creep around my own house. When ds (6) gets home it's even worse. I have to remind him in the car every day that we have to go in the house quietly and go straight into the living room.
Sometimes - if on a particularly important call - dh will come down first and say not to let dd cry. How?! It's making me really stressed out.

Aibu to think he should just work from the office if we are that much of a problem? We are hardly noisy! It also means I can vacuum / clean upstairs etc. in fact I'm frightened to go upstairs at all!

This is all about control. He doesn't want to work in the office because he wants to be at home to have total control of op and the dc. He is a complete bully.

I'd be making noise deliberately! It's your home, not his office.

Tell him to go back to his office if he wants peace and quiet ... you and the children live there and plan to live.

He needs to go to the office and not come back. Ever. I cannot imagine living under a cunt like this - and my own father was physically and mentally abusive to me: he ruined any confidence and self esteem I had.

Chuck him out or get out. Please. He will make your children's lives hell as well as yours. Call women's aid now.

I can imagine living under a cunt like that because I did. Thankfully I didn't have any children with him. OP, it's not going to get better, he's not going to change. Get some help and get out.
