How do I tell my family about the layoff? - 10 months and counting

I have been leaving the house at the same time each day so my kids do not notice. Thank you in advance. Bills are coming up and I cannot keep this quiet. How did you handle it?

I told my partner the same evening with a simple plan: what happened, what I was doing and what I needed. It was a relief.

Kids often pick up more than you think. A short, calm explanation helped mine feel secure.
