[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am a guy who makes a lot more than my wife.

There is no reason in the world he cannot work from home on Friday and you still have your event.  Even in an apartment- you seem seriously unhinged.[/quote]

You are a guy who lacks imagination. Say it was a meetup for ten moms of little kids with ADHD. You can't work from home out of an apartment in that situation.

Its so fundamentally disrespectful of you OP that he is suggesting you change your event to suit his whims, when he knows it was your only condition to the job switch. [/quote]

Interesting comment, because we had a very similar situation in our marriage. I had a bi monthly meetup for moms with other dc with SN and their siblings, at our house. DH wanted to WFH that day and suggested we regularly meet up at the park or starbucks instead.

The whole reason the meetup worked for the moms to actually socialize was because the kids -some runners--were safely contained behind locked doors at our house! T[b]he kicker was he had refused for years to take our dc to the park solo because he was difficult to manage there![/b] Friends, I lost my sh!t during this convo.

HA HA HA. Of course. Great suggestion to take ten runners with autism to the local park so the moms can "relax" but the suggesting DH can't even handle his own kid. [/quote]

DP. You say the poster lacks imagination. I say some of you love to make stuff up. Zero chance that OP’s “long-standing personal/health/wellbeing routine at home that keeps me grounded and brings me joy” is hosting 10 children with autism who are runners and their mothers. But I know it brings many of you joy to complain about unrelated circumstances on nearly every thread.

The woman is doing something closer to yoga or book club.[/quote]

I mean, if it's book club or yoga, then there's definitely no reason why DH can't work behind a closed bedroom door while it's happening. [/quote]
