To be really fed up with DP working from home?

[Rainallnight]

And there’s no end in sight.

I’m an accidental and temporary SAHM. DP working upstairs and full time since the beginning of lockdown.

I’m fed up with it. I’m fed up of the home being a workplace and having to shush the kids when they’re tantrumming.

I’m just fed up of DP being here all the time. I’m fed up of her lunch mess in the kitchen and her being ‘too busy’ to tidy up after herself.

I’m fed up with her coming downstairs at the end of the day full of work stress, with no commute to process it.

She’s fed up with me letting of steam about the kids being naughty if I see her on a break between meetings.

I really really want her to go back to the office. (Though of course I want her to be safe).

Anyone else?

I'm just fed up with him being at home. He's been furloughed since fucking March and is only now back 2 days a week WFH. I have worked from home throughout. I am now 33 weeks pregnant and basically live with a teenager who huffs whenever I suggest he might spend some of his 'free time' sorting out the house/doing chores UNPROMPTED. The longer this has gone on the more he clearly resents having to do anything that isn't exactly what he pleases. I'm starting to wish he'd just get made redundant because at least then he'd have to fucking DO something as opposed to this entitled sitting around that's gone on for months. Maybe I'm being irrational but it's boiling hot and I'm sick of it

DH and I have requisitioned a kid's bedroom each for WFH, luckily youngest no longer naps so works ok. Kids allowed to play quietly and only sent out if too noisy while we're on conf call. Means downstairs is free for any required activity noise.

We're a team and both accept we're not getting as much done, I'm PT so take 2 X 2 hours out to do stuff with the kids (start at 8:30 finish at 6:30 to accommodate) but DH will have either in with him too.

Roll on sept when full time school/childcare kicks in

[quote Werk]@Nanny0gg hell, no, it isn't going to be permanent. We are looking to move if DH has to WFH longterm. He needs an office. Preferably at the end of a very long garden.[/quote]
Definitely.

So far I've suggested the back of the garage, the shed at the bottom of the garden and the loft.

Dh has refused all.

Yes!! My DH works from home in the spare bedroom, my kids are older so not the same issues but I'm sick of him being here ALL the time but without it seems time to do any housework. So I'm working, part time, but also doing ALL the housework, chores, animal care, laundry, shopping, cooking etc. But the worst thing is that I never get any time in the house alone. I feel like there's this constant presence, can't have friends round for coffee, can't just "be". The only good thing is that there is someone physically in the house all day for the dogs so I don't need to pay for a dog walker.
