[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is OP. We don't have kids. In past weeks, I've done what others suggested by being on the call at the start and then dropping off to do laundry/walk the dog, etc. The issue is that the other SO's are on the call for the whole time. Last week, I had told husband I wanted to sit it out, so he told them I wasn't feeling well, to which apparently IL's were worried that I was gravely ill. Also, while I don't think DH would ever admit it to me, I think he feels jealous that his sibling's spouses are on this call, and I'm sitting it out. [/quote] It's 30 minutes, once a week. Or at most, an hour once a week. Just sit at the diningroom table on a joint Zoom call and make mental lists of what you will do that day/tomorrow. Or keep a piece of paper there and make real lists (just make sure it's not seen on the screen). Since they don't seem to need any heavy lifting, you could also sit there and fold laundry while being on the call. but seriously, I'd just do them as long as they are no more than once a week.[/quote] WAIT! I' sorry, didn't see that the calls are more than an hour, sometimes 2 hours! Jesus. Ok. Be there at the beginning, make lists, then go and start dinner. Pop back in when veges are chopped. Then run and grab a load of laundry out of dryer and bring back to fold (towels, not undies). [/quote]
