[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If you work from home and your kids are at school, why is your house a mess? Throw in a load of laundry while on a call or dump some stuff in the Crock Pot (use a liner so it's easy to clean).[/quote]
NP and this dismissive, unthinking kind of attitude is part of the whole problem. Have you not been listening to people saying the constant neverending blurring of work and home life is a huge part of the problem? Advising people worn out from constant multitasking to multitask is really tone deaf (to put it kindly).[/quote]

Making dinner or running the washing machine is not the problem.  We make dinner as a family so it’s usually a time we all catch up.

Folding the laundry is one of the ever present todo items — we seem to Always have two loads to fold; even when we have kids rewear things (if they remember) and we basically sleep in our leisure wear that we wear the next day. Likewise dishes. It’s not the crock pot, it’s the Tupperware from 3 lunches, dishes for 2-3 meals,  etc.

I like the idea of just ignoring it, but I see it every time I walk to get coffee or water. I know we handled it before, I just feel way more worn down by it. [/quote]
