Telling my partner I lost my job - what worked for you?

I have been leaving the house at the same time each day so my kids do not notice. I worked as a medical assistant before this. Bills are coming up and I cannot keep this quiet. What did you say?

Keep everything in writing and save the confirmation numbers. It made the follow-up calls so much easier.

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