[quote=Anonymous]I feel for you and I have adult kids (who are home off and on) so nowhere near what you are dealing with. I had this conversation with my DH yesterday - told him I had had it and couldn't do this for another 6-9 months. I am the primary breadwinner and feeling real pressure to work as much as possible when the work is available. He seems to be relaxed about the fact that he is making much less money this year but he doesn't pay the bills. He talks about buying a luxury car. He's also had a series of medical events in the last 6 months and each one requires 2-3 weeks of "convalescing". So I feel like I am doing the majority of the money earning work, managing the house, bill paying, cooking and cleaning, and he's relaxing. In the meantime I can't see friends easily or do much that's fun because of COVID. And because he's always convalescing if I do fun fall activities I am doing them alone. He's also hypervigilant about the virus so that limits our options even further.

We did bring our cleaners back in June, which made a big difference. Make your DH take the kids out for a couple of hours while someone cleans and you can isolate in your home office. Agree with grocery delivery - I started doing that a couple of months ago, not for virus reasons but just because it was time consuming and unpleasant. I can at least order bulky stuff and basics for delivery from the Giant and then supplement with a quick trip to whole foods or trader joes.
