I actually feel sorry for my dc.

I'm supposed to be wfh, but this is impossible with my dc around. My boss isn't giving me any alternatives such as working in the evening, she doesn't like me and I feel as though this is going to be her excuse to freeze me out. All I could do is take unpaid leave which I can't afford because we don't know how long this will go on for.

Dh is just carrying on as normal, long hours out at work, busier than ever.

I've done nothing with my dc, eldest is in an absolutely foul mood and just being vile, constant mess, arguing, backchat, even the simplest request is met with filthy looks and backchat.

I look outside and the rest of the world seem to be carrying on as normal, lots of cars on the road, neighbours in and out, builders still working across the road.

Honestly the thoughts of spending months like this I'd rather die and that's the truth.

Same here, except it's been like this since last week. No work done, my colleagues do loads of stuff while I do the super bare minimum and work evenings. Or put kid on the phone and even he is getting bored of it by now. We have a garden, but from this you can see the park and loads of people out and about playing around in the playground, no way we can keep 2m distance after DH finishes his work :/ DD wants to go out and play and it's hard, she is so upset and does not understand why other kids (of idiotic parents) are on swings and we are cooped up in the living room.

What does your dh do and how old are the kids?
