So, I work from home.
Since I do, I always pick up my kid from school and hang out with her from 3-5. She’s 2, so I’m not exactly able to work when she is around.
I do that pretty much every day, my wife opts in maybe on a Friday when she can get out early.
How do I reason with her that HEY – yes I am at home and can go do that – but this is costing me time, and then I have to get caught up later.
IDK – is this nit picking?
Like – I just want to have my time with my work I don’t want to get assigned to shit just because I am at home.
Edit: I want to clarify something — a lot of people are saying that “me getting assigned shit” is somehow directly linked to me picking up my daughter. It’s not. Its 100 other things I have to do during the day that just get dropped on me because I have to work. I am OK with picking up my daughter and I am proud of the Dad I am to her. And most certainly I am grateful that I am able to spend time with her every day. Every time I go I give her a different snack and play her favorite music. When she gets home I feed her and play with her.
It’s not that I care that some people is saying that — but I want qualitative answers, not mean ones, that’s why I wanted to clarify.
Cheers!
