To think there will an increase in divorce rates if we have to lock down (lighthearted)

My DH and I always bicker if we spend too long together. I can't say/do the right thing. I swear sometimes I even breathe wrong. Heaven help us if we have to lockdown. There are 4 of us in a tiny 2 bed rented ground floor flat and my DH is self employed and we are only just managing. AIBU to think that we might not get through a 2 week lockdown without me wanting to LTB. My DD's always argue if they spend too much time together. I can't be alone in this. AIBU considering sleeping in the tent in the garden.

I've been banned from entering work for the foreseeable (I can work from home), as I'm immunosuppressed. DP is at home currently job seeking following redundancy. Both my boss and my best friend have wished DP the best of luck Grin .

I'm more concerned for all the children that get free school meals

I'm concerned for some children who are from difficult homes, free school meals doesn't mean a difficult home any more then a wealthy home means a good home.

For looked after children the crisis events have frequently come about during Christmas or summer holidays. For many children school is a safe haven and a bit of structure in their lives and there are serious consequences to removing it.

You’re probably not wrong in the lighthearted way you meant but actually, I have serious concerns (and I’m sure others do too) that cases of domestic violence will go up significantly.
