Introduction. - In the context of the COVID-19 pandemic, the French state implemented containment measures requiring parents to stay at home with their children, while ensuring, in addition to daily tasks and work, their schooling.

Objective. - The objective of this publication is to present the modifications of parent-child and spousal relationships during this period and their main sources according to the parents.

Method. - An online questionnaire from 28 April 2020 to 29 May 2020 collected data from 490 French families with at least one child from birth to six years old. A content analysis of the discursive corpus was carried out with NVivo software (version 10). Quantitative statistical processing (using STATA software, version 16.1) tested the relationships between socio-demographic variables, as well as those relating to the parents' experiences, and "strained" and "strengthened" intrafamily relationships.
