[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is op sorry for ghosting.  Kid stays home half day with me and then half day in a pod type arrangement.  So I feel like morning through lunch is all me, then I drive him to “school”, then I get home and have a few uninterrupted work hours, and then pick kid up again and figure out dinner.  Spouse breezes in from office like whatever.  And sometimes spouse wfh but just walks himself off in front of computer like he who cannot be disturbed.  [/quote]

Wait. You only have one kid? [/quote]

One kid who is only home half the day. Oh boo, hoo, hoo. [/quote]

I am a SAHM and I am taking care of 5 family members who are home -  cooking, cleaning, laundry, eldercare and helping my twin HS students with college application process. 
 Nope, I did not do all of this menial work when I was a SAHM because I outsourced a bunch of stuff and was in a home manager role.   With the pandemic I dare not outsource anything.  So I am doing SAHM work and Tutoring/college counseling work, elder care and cleaning, laundry and cooking.

I think the problem with OP is that she is only capable of working from the office.  With all the help and with taking care of only one child part time, I don't think she is in hell.  Maybe she is just inefficient or low energy. [/quote]
