[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My husband is NOT a go get ‘em guy and he’s always been super inefficient with time. But now he’s home all day (7:30-3:30, alone, no kids) but [b]hasn’t done anything beyond the day to day tasks. [/b]I worry about him.

I am not leaving him a list, because he gets overwhelmed easily and doesn’t manage time well. For example, I asked him one day to drop off somethings for returns at ups but then he called me stressed because he missed getting the kids off the bus. I gently apologized and said I thought maybe he’d go early but he said he was cleaning the kitchen.

I am worried about him sitting home on his phone all day. His home office (now obsolete) is a mess. I don’t want to nag him but I worry…he’s home all day and doesn’t do anything.[/quote]

What else do you want him to do? What have you been doing, just watching him? Go do something together and enjoy your vacay time together if you don't work. [/quote]

Yard work, cleaning out YEARS worth of stuff in the basement, grocery shopping, errands, making dinner…I work full time, kids are in school and daycare.[/quote]

OP your DH is in a weird place. He’s still employed but he’s not working. And it hasn’t been that long although I’m sure it feels like it.

Cut him a little slack. If this situation drags on you can start having conversations about his role in the family while you’re at home. But not yet. [/quote]
