Middle School Domestic Violence Skit

Child comes home from school

Enters the door

Mother: Hey! How was school today?

Child: It went well, I have homework to do.

As the child walks to their room the father comes home.

The door slams

Mother: Hi, honey how was work today?

Father: I got fired, so I decided to go out with a few friends.

Father: Why isn’t dinner ready?

Mother: It is only 3:00.

Father: I expect a meal when I come home, why can’t you do anything right?

Father: You are so stupid!

Mother: I am sorry, but I normally do not start dinner till 4:00, you are home earlier than

normal.

Father: I don’t care you should have known better. I called you five different times today and

you did not answer.

Mother: I am sorry, I was busy cleaning.


Father: So you couldn’t take at least 5 minutes to pick up your phone?

Mother: It was in the bedroom.

Father: Well don’t ask to drive the car anytime soon, I pay the bills, which means I am the head

of the household, and that I expect that things are done right.

Father: Maybe now you will pick up the phone and have dinner ready when I call you.

Mother: But I have to go see my mother tomorrow and my friend Elizabeth who is in the

hospital.

Father: I don’t care who you have to see, I guess now you can walk. Maybe you can have that

friend of yours pick you up. What is his name? Oh Gerald isn’t it.

Mother: Not this again, you need to stop with the whole Gerald thing. He is just a good friend.

Father: I wish I would have never had a kid with you, it would be so much easier to get a

divorce. The only reason I stay with you is because of our son. Look at you, you have really lost

it over the past 2 years.

Mother: I am sorry that I cannot do anything right.

Father: I don’t know why I even married you.
