I am working from home today. This requires me to be logged into my work phone and be available to take calls as if I was in the office.
Husband has just text me to ask if I can go and pick our children up from the childminders (husband is self employed, works about 45 minute drive away and normally finishes work at 3 in time to pick the kids up at 4). He says he is held up and as I am not at work it will only take ten minutes.
Our two children attend different childminders both about a ten minute drive away. By the time I get in the car, pick both of them up get them into car seats and home this will probably take around 30 minutes.
I have said no, I can't just stop work to pick them up one because I'm not allowed to just leave work regardless of whether I'm in the office and two because I have work to do. In addition to this he won't be home when I get home with the kids which will prevent me from working properly until he gets home- children are pre school aged and infant school aged and taking phone calls is an essential park of my job.
He says iabu because I'm not "at work" I say he is unreasonable because although I'm not at my office I am still "at work"
Who is unreasonable?
