[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If any adult (including my children) texted me in the work day to make them a snack, they wouldn't get a response.

I wonder those who are saying "make a snack" would do the same if it was her husband asking?  Or if her kid asked the husband to do it.

Shows how many of us still see women as responsible for all of the "home" life.[/quote]

I'd honestly be more likely to make my husband a snack in this situation. He does a ton of kind, caring things for me and I look for opportunities to reciprocate. I do often do little things for my teenage kids that they can do themselves, like get them a drink of water even when it would be just as easy for them to do it, but I am trying to transition out of that "mommy caters to me" mindset since they are at the age where they need to start seeing me as a human being instead of somebody who is just around to meet their needs. I develop my relationship with my kids by doing things with them, always being there to talk when they want to talk, showing interests in their interests, etc. [/quote]

But my issue is the OP is working.  I know a lot of people view working from home as a cake walk - but she shouldn't be responsible for making anyone food during work hours.[/quote]

Okay yes that's absolutely true. And my husband would never ask me to make him something if he knew I was working! [/quote]
