[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Do you mean daily stuff (laundry, dinner, pick up the kids) or big projects?

I think it's totally fine to ask for more help with the daily stuff, although I wouldn't say "it's all yours now" and just completely walk away. I'm furloughed and I'm doing more of that than normal, but haven't taken on 100% of my DH's responsibilities. He's still a parent and it's still a 2 person job.

For big projects, I'd tread carefully. We don't know how long this will last. I've tried to do some decluttering and consignment, and I hate it SO MUCH that I have had to work out hard to calm down after. [b]It makes me mad that I'm spending so many hours trying to make pennies like some poor tradwife instead of using my actual skills to earn our real income.[/b] [/quote]

[b]Damn. I mean, it's almost like all that SAHM tradwife shite is... like... actual work. And thankless, tedious, crazymaking work at that![/b][/quote]

Isn't that the truth!! :lol: [/quote]
