[quote=Anonymous]One PT SAHM, and one WFH dad who is heading back to the office a few days a week soon.

I think having DH in the office a few days a week will be our sweet spot. I love having him home and I think it's been great for his relationship with the kids. Also just good for his mental and physical health to be skipping the commute and have more opportunities to work out, eat better, etc. I'm really glad he's going to keep WFH a few days a week for these reasons.

But I also cannot wait until I get some of my quiet time back. I used to get about 4 hours a day alone in the house to work, do housework, and also have my "me time". It's a lot to pack into a small period of time, but it was enough for me. And it's just not the same with DH home. Yes, I get to eat lunch with him and check in with him during the day. But I also have to clean around him. Sometimes he is distracting when I'm trying to get work done. And as much as I love him, I need to be totally alone sometimes. Especially with little kids. I really need a little bit of just total solitude every day to feel like myself.

So I'm grateful I'm getting that back. But yes, there are some real benefits to both of us being at home all the time and I hope to keep enjoying those.[/quote]
