Men are finding this isolation/social distancing harder than women

[justasking111]

I am finding it harder to keep OH occupied than any child I have had. Having raised three being housebound through their illnesses plus one six week illness of my own. I am finding it more challenging to keep OH on an even keel, he had a mini explosion last night over something minor. He is champing at the bit to be out and about.

I cannot entertain him with puzzles, games, BBC learning unfortunately.

How is it your responsibility to keep an adult man occupied? Do you wipe his bum as well?

YABU to humour him. There is no reason it should be any harder for a man than a woman.

There are plenty or reasons that men may find this harder than women.

Feminism doesn't trump millions of years of evolutionary biology.

Leave him be, he's an adult. Life is going to become incredibly tedious incredibly quickly if you continue to pander to him

Tell him to suck it up buttercup.

Yabu because it's not your job. He isn't your child.

He needs to get a fucking grip and sort himself out and you need to stop pandering to him

Please do expand on this.

What’s he doing to keep you occupied?

Or being a grumpy, pathetic twat, apparently.

Feminism is not the reason a grown man doesn't know how to keep himself entertained ffs 🙄

No football doesn't help

Can you post the list please.

I agree. The kids are behaving much better then the husband!! He has always been someone who needs space though

What a load of wank.

@conduitoffortune

it's easier to answer specific questions than keep typing and hope I cover your specific area.

Send him for a run then tell him to get on with it.

I don’t think I’ve ever read anything so bloody ridiculous.

He has walked the dogs in the hills this morning, been to Tesco, pressure washed half the drive, now he is bored gawd....

You are ridiculous.

pressure washed half the drive, now he is bored

Well he can do the other half of the drive for starters!

Seriously though. Leave him to it. Not your job to keep him busy. Just like it’s not his job to keep you busy.

Stick on Gold. Only Fools and Horses is on all day. No man can resist.

What a Stepford Wife you sound, fretting about how to appease the big important manly man who is too manly to be constrained.

So pleased all detractors are married to happy clappy men quite happy to be at home, however, not all are perhaps.

Tell him to get a fucking grip.

How does it even cross your mind that you need to entertain him? The world really has gone mad.

Most people don't think it's their responsibility to entertain a man though whether he's happy to be at home or not.
