[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am a SAHM whose husband works from home (office in the basement) and kids are in full day school. If he’s upstairs on a break when I leave, I’ll obviously say goodbye but no I don’t otherwise notify him when I’m leaving each day. He knows I will get the kids at the end of the school day, and be responsible for them until his workday ends. He knows I run errands or meet friends during the day so isn’t worried if I’m not home. He doesn’t need to know the nitty gritty. This doesn’t feel weird to us but I guess it would to others. After work hours and on weekends we do tell each other where we are going and when. [/quote]

I think it’s completely different during the work day. If the expectation is you are with the kids, you are “on” and it’s up to you to manage your time, the same way you would if he was at the office. My DH and I both WAH several days a week and we often mention in the AM that we have some errands (just making conversation I guess) but I might not text him exactly when I leave the house. I think we both act like we are having separate work days and we are non a lot of calls. If the kids are home unexpectedly (like a sick day) we would treat that like a weekend where we are both in home mode.[/quote]
