[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]All day.  I work up in the converted attic. He works on the main level.  But, he makes my latte and oatmeal and we split up morning school runs for our MS and HS kids.

We workout together mid-morning.  Sometimes a quickie somewhere in the work day.

We might hit Whole Foods together after the workout one day a week for groceries.

Afternoon everyone is home.  Dinners together--alternate who makes it. Kids different sports team runs.  Couch at 9pm to watch Netflix.

I have been WAH since 2005, but husband never was (just one day every other week) until Covid and he's been full-time WAH since then. He used to have long hours and it would just be by text.  IF he worked out--he had to do after the day was over and would get home after dinner.  This has been so much better for our marriage and we both really are loving it.

He has been offered pretty crazy $ to take on a new role but it would require a lot of stress and possibly less at home, if at all.  At 50, we are thinking time is now more important.  His prior schedule did a number on our marriage since he was out of the house so much and got home so late in the evenings.[/quote] This sounds so great![/quote]

It also sounds like they’re the reason companies are calling people back to the office. They’re not working…[/quote]

My husband works for himself, consultant.  My work is production based so it's verifiable.  My company found the WAH workers to be 35% more productive than the in-house workers when they started WAH two decades ago.

IF you read studies on WAH, this is found to be the case across industries.  Cutting out the commute each way and the hassle of getting ready and make happy workers with access to everything at their fingertips actually make them work harder and are more dedicated to their work.  You should see the amount of useless meetings, long lunches and 'water-cooler' BS that want on in the office.  [/quote]
