[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This isn’t a WFH problem. This is a communication problem. If you can’t figure out how to talk with him and set some guidelines around what are appropriate expectations at home  (quiet at 1pm while on a work call is fine; expecting silence at 5pm isn’t), then you have some serious challenges ahead of you. Hoping this will resolve itself by him going back to the office isn’t a viable plan. Step up and be a grown-up. Talk to your spouse and figure this out. [/quote]

-you use headphones. No one wants to hear both ends of your business calls.  
-no shushing or other admonishments to be quiet after 5pm
-your door stays closed 
-dinner is at 6:30 (or whatever time). If you’re not available to join us or weigh in on a food order, that’s on you. 
-on these nights, you’re responsible for planning dinner:
