Isolation away from kids?

Hi!
Tested positive for Covid this morning, PCR was yesterday....
I have 2 kids aged 4 and 2, we have decided not to send them into school/nursery (and made the school aware) just to limit the spread, although my OH had negative PCR and both kids are negative on LFTs.

Given the age of my kids I really dont want to be apart from them. They are so young and need their mummy sometimes, I have already listened to the 2 yo screaming for me at nap time. Plus the 4 year old has cottoned on to the fact I am upstairs behind a door and keeps asking why Im upstairs and not with them.

My OH and I clash on this one, I think we are already down the rabbit hole, just isolate us all together. He wants me behind a door and away from the kids until Im in the clear.

No underlying health issues any of us....

What would you do?

I'm recently out of isolation. The only distancing we did is me sleeping the spare room. We were surprised when neither my dh or 5 year old dc caught it so far.

No way would I isolate from my child! I'm really angry on your behalf that he's suggested that to you.

Tell him to go and lock himself in a room and tell him the isolate period has been extended 🤣

I know this a terrible situation, During this tuff situation I will stay away from my kids, because it is good for my health and my dear kids health.
