How do I tell my family about the layoff? - first time posting

I was laid off 4 weeks ago and have not told my family because I do not want them to worry. It has been a long 4 weeks. Bills are coming up and I cannot keep this quiet. What did you say?

Thanks for writing this out. I went through something close to it last year, and it settled down once I kept a simple log of every call and form.

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