[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Do you mean daily stuff (laundry, dinner, pick up the kids) or big projects? I think it's totally fine to ask for more help with the daily stuff, although I wouldn't say "it's all yours now" and just completely walk away. I'm furloughed and I'm doing more of that than normal, but haven't taken on 100% of my DH's responsibilities. He's still a parent and it's still a 2 person job. For big projects, I'd tread carefully. We don't know how long this will last. I've tried to do some decluttering and consignment, and I hate it SO MUCH that I have had to work out hard to calm down after. It makes me mad that I'm spending so many hours trying to make pennies like some poor tradwife instead of using my actual skills to earn our real income. [/quote] Well, you chose consignment. I chose investing. I turned $30k into $300k in 5 years. Now I have a new skill and I'm not going back to work. Had consignment taught you anything? You seem frustrated.[/quote]
