In isolation and just hAD an argument seriously thinking about pissing off right now to

[Fishies]

We are all in isolation with covid, me and husband not well at all kids are fine but are both positive also ,

An hour ago we have had a huge argument over the children doing school work. I've asked the eldest who is 8 numerous times to do her work thats been set . She keeps ignoring me and going off to do something else I called her once again back to the table she then started laughing at me and bringing on stupid baby tears that she does all the time when she doesn't want to do soemthing,literally i am on the last nerve ive been at home with them 9 days

I got really angry husband told me to go upstairs and take a break but he then proceeded to shout at me in my face,it really really really has wound me up I don't wnat her education to go down im just trying to get her to do her school work

Anyway im upstairs in my room and havnt gone down since ..... considering fucking off out of this house right now covid or no covid

Everything is normal life except him shouting in your face. Is that normal for him?

And don't leave the house unless it's a safety thing. If he's abusive, that's a reason.

Why did he start shouting in your face? What were you doing? Is that normal for him?

Maybe you’re all getting a bit of cabin fever. It’s not easy being locked down!

Take a deep breath and try to turn the day around. You can tell DP later that you’re sorry you lost your temper but the shouting in your face didn’t help at all! Implement a No Drama rule for the rest of the isolation period.

His never shouted before in my face in the 14 years weve been together

i think from what i remember now but you know what its like in the heat of the moment He said,

I(meaning him) feel fucking shit and I said well so do i and he said then go take some time out i can deal with the kids

I actually can't fully remember now what was said but it was definitely something along those lines

Thanks maybe that's it Im out of isolation tomorrow his newly into this and got a week left

Ugh should I go downstairs then

Him shouting in your face is grim. It would be hugely triggering for me. Awful
The rest of it sounds pretty normal cabin fever stuff, but he's crossed a line there.

You need to give your daughter consequences if she doesn’t do the work. Going on and on clearly isn’t working.
I would find that very intimidating - your husband shouting in your face - it’s sounds highly charged all round.-

Sending lots of hugs to you.

As a teacher, I completely understand the frustration parents feel when trying to get their child to work from home.

Have you tried blocking the learning out? 30 mins, break, 30 mins, break?

As others have said, your child does need some consequences for being disrespectful towards you.

Your partner shouting in your face however is not acceptable. He should be supporting you to get a united message across to the children.

Does he shout at you like this regularly?
