‘RHOBH’: Brandi Glanville Lets Her Kids ‘Skip School’ While In Quarantine
Like many parents out there, The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star Brandi Glanville is learning how to handle parenting duties amid the current coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic.
She is currently co-parenting her two kids with ex-husband Eddie Cibrian, but the two of them have found themselves disagreeing over certain rules that are in place. For example, Glanville recently revealed that she allows her children to “skip school” while they are in quarantine, to her husband’s dismay.
Who are Brandi Glanville’s kids?
Glanville and Cibrian were married from 2001 to 2010. They share two sons: Mason (b. 2003) and Jake (b. 2007).
Glanville and Cibrian got divorced after Cibrian had an extramarital affair with singer LeAnn Rimes. Cibrian and Rimes are currently married, and Glanville and Cibrian continue to try and co-parent their kids together.
Brandi Glanville and Eddie Cibrian have had disagreements over their kids during the pandemic
Since the divorce, Glanville’s children have been splitting their time between her and Cibrian’s respective homes. However, when the COVID-19 pandemic began to take shape in the U.S. and social distancing orders were implemented, the kids happened to be residing with their father and could not see Glanville. As a result, Glanville took to Twitter in late March to air her grievances for the situation.
“It’s very crazy that I’ve been alone for this entire week and I can’t be with my children because it happens not to be my week in our divorce settlement I think that this is a time with special circumstances and I should be able to be with them,” Glanville tweeted, tagging both Cibrian and Rimes in the message.
According to a report from OK! Magazine, Glanville felt that the kids should be staying with her for the duration of the quarantine because she lives alone. A source said: “Brandi’s a very high-strung, extremely sensitive person and she doesn’t like being ignored, so when her calls to them went unanswered, she lashed out.”
Meanwhile, the insider also noted that Cibrian and Rimes did not like the fact that Glanville went public with their dispute.
However, based on what Glanville has said recently on her podcast, “Brandi Glanville Unfiltered,” it seems that Glanville eventually was given time to be with her children after all.
Why Brandi Glanville lets her kids ‘skip school’ during the pandemic
On a recent episode of her podcast, Glanville even shared that she and Cibrian are now disagreeing over how they are each handling their kids’ schooling during the pandemic. Her children have to take online classes, but she is lenient and does not force them to sit at the computer for the required time.
“It’s 8:30 to 3:30 sitting in one place. That’s bulls–t,” Glanville said. “I told them they could skip school. Their dad’s a d–k and he told me, ‘Why are they missing classes at your house?’ I said, ‘Because I don’t want their eyes to hurt from the blue screen time.’ It didn’t work.”
Glanville admitted that, compared to Cibrian, she is the “fun [and] crazy” parent and does not want to force her kids to do schoolwork.
Glanville continued: “He’s like the boring one that makes sure they do their homework. I’m like, ‘That’s on you. Nobody made sure I did mine.’ I do everything else for them, I’m not doing their homework for them too. Plus, I can’t. F–k that.”
