[quote=Anonymous]She’s being totally unreasonable. Just because you WFH doesn’t mean you’re available during work hours (I certainly am not in my job - can hardly fit in changing a load of laundry most days). I think your best bet is to hold the line that during work hours, work needs to be your priority - especially on days when you’ve made clear you have commitments. But let her know that you hear her that it feels like you are not showing up for her and the family and ask if there are things you could be doing during non-work hours or other things you could both do to relieve the stress (hire a sitter?). Honestly though, it’s pretty ridiculous that she wouldn’t be taking 100% lead of taking care of the kids while she’s on leave and you have presentations to the c-suite. In our family the other parent (mom or dad) would be going out of their way to get kids out of the house and give you space on a once-a-quarter important work day.[/quote]
