[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, you never answered - do you normally take him lunch given that he always works from home?  And does he always have those hours?  It sounds like the only thing that's different is that the kids are now home during the day with you.  He ought to realize that and step up, but it sounds like some of this behavior you have blessed before this happened.[/quote]

OP here. It depends. On a ‘normal’ day, I get the school aged kids to school, then take my youngest somewhere for the rest of morning (playdate, library, museum, park, etc). It’s rare that we go back home. Usually, DH gets hungry before we get back and grabs a granola bar & fruit. If he hasn’t eaten when I make lunch, I’ll run him up something. As for hours, he was exercising/showering after I left in the mornings and starting closer to 9:30, but also working longer days when he was traveling. I overheard him telling his dad that his office is being flexible, but I don’t see that. I do think he’s worried about job stability through this as they’ve laid off a couple employees. My vent to my friend was not in a ‘he needs to step it up tone,’ it was purely an ‘I’m overwhelmed being on for so many hours without a break.’[/quote]
