[quote=Anonymous]SAHD + WFH 3 days/week mom.  It mostly works for us now but it was BRUTAL in 2020 at the height of stay at home orders.
Note the kids are back in person full time, it’s… doable.  I think mostly because i -the hybrid spouse - am also out of the house 2-3 days/week.
The nice parts are that i get to wfh multiple days/week, see my kids in the AM which i did not used to get to do, and on a slow day (ha) can sneak out for lunch or a beer with dh.  And he still handles the drop offs and pickups and probably half of the days off school.
The bad parts are: he is always home. And doesn’t understand why my job doesn’t lend itself to afternoon quickies or interruptions every five minutes because he saw a funny  looking squirrel.  I mean if i was looking for interruptions all day i would have gone to the office!
That said, this works well for our family. Like i said the 2-3 days that i am also gone might be the key to success here.

And YES people find out word on a snow day or random day off when i can’t join the day drinking sahp’s… sorry, the snow day on the calendar and now i have 8 hours of meetings worth people who don’t have young kids at home…[/quote]
