[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]WFH days have saved us. If possible if each of you could do one day a week, it's a gamechanger. Most companies are open to this - so long as you don't want to go 100% remote (companies are cutting down on that but the 1-2 day WFH option seems to be the norm now). Just cutting down commute and energy dealing with work clothes, etc is huge, and allows me to a load of laundry in and out etc. and I do a yoga class at lunch sometimes.

DH typically takes 1-2 days a month to WFH, but I generally do it 3 days a week (that said I have a longer commute than you so for me REALLY makes a difference. My normal commute is 60 minutes each way).[/quote]

Yes, can either of you WFH once a week? Bc that would then be your laundry day, giving you time back on the weekend. Even if you just take a bathroom break and move clothes into/out of washer/dryer, it's a lifesaver.

My kids are those ages, and our schedules are similar. The biggest plus for me is that DH is FT WAH, so laundry and meal prep are off my plate. My kids also help with setting the table, loading/unloading the dishwasher, and are responsible for all their clothes - putting them away and picking out clothes for the next day. [/quote]
