... to be driven mad by DH working from home?

Yes... I already iknow IABU. But I need to vent somewhere.

DH works from home, this does not cause much of a problem at all when i'm at work. I know that i'll already have been at work for 2 hours by the time he even gets up, but out of sight, out of mind.

But today I had leave, he didn't. (early pregnancy and leave to use up- day to spend relaxing)
As usual when this happens, I spend the entire day feeling as though i'm in the way in my own home. If I have music on, he has to shut the door to his office, which then makes him freeze, which he moans about, so...

I didn't have music on and was reading a book, he then has a 2 hour lunchbreak where he watches snooker, plays darts . I then have afternoon nap where I get woken up being informed that he's taking the recycling down - WELL DONE HIM,

Then because he's quiet at work, he spends the rest of the afternoon 'sorting his office' (note- this wasn't done EVER before, or tomorrow, when i'll be back at work, or when he had 3 weeks leave over Christmas) which has involved him making a massive pile of 'mayanbob stuff' which includes guarantees, stuff for the pets - which were his btw- as well as some of my craft stuff admittedly, which has lived very happily in our spare bedroom until now.

Therefore my relaxing day off has just stressed me out and now I have yet more stuff to do.

I don't get that he has to have a whole office, when I know some of his colleagues just have a desk on the landing. He'll only have half the room when DC arrives but still...
I'm also concerned I may end up killing him when on Maternity leave.

thanks Mumsnet.

If my DH woke me up to tell me he was taking out the recycling, they would be in the process of putting me through booking and examining DH's decapitated corpse right about now.

CailinDana ha- thanks for that,it came close, let me tell you.

I feel better already post rant. That, and i'm now cwtched up in bed ignoring the existence of anything outside the bedroom.

Feeling you pain. Don't work and now he's home a lot. Wanted an office but still insists on using the kitchen table. He's just generating mess.
