[quote=Anonymous]It's not about work life balance. You have good work life balance. It's about her being unhappy home on maternity leave with a 3-month old who probably isn't sleeping much, and her resentment spilling onto you because you happen to be home. My spouse worked at home when my kids were tiny (and I was mostly home with them) and I felt very resentful at times that he got to sit at a computer, read the occasional news article or internet site, stroll downstairs to make lunch, work mostly uninterrupted. If he'd have been at an office it wouldn't have ben as resentment-making, I don't think, because it would have been out of sight. But having him right there, yet not available, was somehow harder. It's not a rational reaction but it's having a 3 month old. [/quote]
