[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]And you haven't thrown an epic fit yet? You must be some kind of saint or martyr.

You're allowing this to continue, OP. I would be picking open his office door lock and handing him a kid. [/quote]

I have and he just says he can’t multi-task like me and the kids want me anyways (which is true).  This dynamic has existed since DCs were born and I decided that rather than resenting DH, I’d just hire help. It’s worked...until now...where help cannot come.[/quote]

Oh, hell no.  Make up a schedule and stick to it.  When it's his turn, go to a room and close and lock the door.  He's on duty.[/quote]

This is what we're doing in my house too. We split the day into work and childcare shifts, and when it's my work shift, I close the door and work and that's that. It's exhausting because we're both either working or watching the kids nonstop all day and then work in the evening  too. But, it's a better system for us than any other alternative. When it's work time I can concentrate on work, and when it's kid time I can concentrate on the kids. Part of why this is possible is that I told my colleagues what my work hours are and made it clear that I can only schedule zoom meetings during those times. I realize that not everyone has that flexibility though.[/quote]
