My donkey husband is getting on my last nerve to TODAY!!!! We've been self-isolating...DS(11) tested positive 9 days ago, DH; 7 days and myself, 4 days ago
Arghhhhh!!!
DS has gone back to secondary school today- he is fine, 2 neg LFT's so all good for school as per gov guidelines. He just has a cough (like 4 million other school children get this time of year) but DH is insisting DS stays home cos he's still sick! I'm being a bad mum and saying he needs to go in because he has missed enough time at school already and spent 1% of his time off on home school learning and 99% slobbing on the sofa watching crap/playing games! Of that 99% I've spent 98.9% of my time nagging him to get off said sofa to do his school work whilst DH helpfully tells me to leave him alone and let him be a lazy git, forgetting that I've seen the future and it looks like my sister - a 56 year old single woman who lives with our parents and calls a 15hr week job full time work!!! (She is capable of much more and even owes her own home)
So I'm getting DS sorted for school today, whilst DH continues to comment about him 'being too sick to go into school, he won't be able to work; he'll be coughing over everyone'....etc So I phone school and explain DS has had 2 neg LFT's, but has a cough....what do they advise; "yes that's OK, he can come in, lots of kids have coughs, as long as he has neg LFT". So that's that!
DH then helpfully offers to drive DS into school( cos the conversation we had last night about making DS walk in himself cos he needs the exercise has clearly fallen on deaf ears-its 10mins away!)
I know DH well; I know that DH will have used the drive in to coach DS on 'how to get out of school' and I tell him this as soon as he returns from dropping him off!
So I'm going to sit here and wait for my child to walk through the door having pulled the greatest 'skive' of his life......just waiting!!!
I am not raising my child to be a skiver.... AIBU?
