Me and two DDs all tested positive starting last weekend. I am on day 8, DD2 is on day 7 and DD1 is on day 6. However DH had managed to avoid it so far but living like this is so stressful and difficult! We are trying to ‘save Christmas’ because of course if he catches it now our Christmas plans are over 😭 It feels like a ticking time bomb. We are all struggling with HOW to live in the house. We are mask wearing, windows open etc. But of course the children are in all the rooms they are quite young and already struggling with being contained. I feel so sorry for poor DH! He basically doesn’t know what to do with himself! We are usually quite an active family but the kids are just glued to tablets, arguments are happening. Things are tense. The garden is damp and muddy. Any tips for activities to keep us busy? Dh said he feels like he needs to go out as much as possible but there’s nowhere for him to go 😞

We are in the same position. My husband and I have it, the kids don't (2 and 4).
Before I got it my husband was working/sleeping in a different room and wearing a mask around us but that only lasted about a day.
If I was in your shoes and well enough to look after kids I would honestly send him to a travel lodge or something for a few days. Does he have to wfh or can he go out? Even if it's for lots and lots of long boring walks it might help, or go and read in local library?
I totally empathise about boredom and kids. We've been doing a lot of activities from five minute mum, art, fighting, shouting and crying. It's shit.
