To dislike the days DH is wfh?

[Iwonderwhere]

I probably am being a bit unreasonable as I don’t know what it is. He doesn’t want me to be quiet and has never said I should be doing this or that but I just feel in the way in my own home and constantly conscious of his presence. I’m on maternity leave at the moment. He normally wfh Mondays and Fridays but yesterday announced he didn’t have to go into the office and I felt all disappointed although I didn’t say that! Does anyone else feel the same about their dh?

Good opportunity to let him see how full on mat leave can be. Playmat, baby group, nap time. "Great, it'll be so nice for you to take the baby for an hour at lunch!"

To be honest it isn’t usually … I have a fairly chilled baby. But I only have 2 days a week with just her, the other days I have an older DD here too and so I really really treasure this quiet time … I know I’m BU!

YANBU, my DH changed jobs last September. He now works shifts, two days, two nights and four days of. After three months of him being at home for four days in a row I got a part time job where I'm out of the house three days a week. I love him dearly and we are best friends but I needed my space. I now childmind in somebody else's home and I love it.

I feel the same. I know it's completely unreasonable and my DH doesn't ever bother me but I just wish he'd go to the office! I think for me it's because I'm an introvert and get real mental peace from having the house to myself.
Also, although I work a lot in the house (as in domestic chores) he always comes down the moment I put my feet up so I worry he gets the impression I'm just lounging around.

This!! I love being alone every now and again 😌

I actually don't think you're being unreasonable - WFH has lots of benefits but ultimately the vast majority of homes are designed for family living, not as partial offices.

I don't know what the solution is though

No, but I think DP feels this way about me. He works shifts so is often in the house during office hours, and I do notice a particular enthusiasm to his farewell when im in the office rather than WFH! However, luckily he understands how much easier my life is without having an extra two hours of commute added on to my working day, and wouldn't want me to lose that just so he could have the house to himself.
