To not want to be out of the house all day?

[kyliekangaroos]

So DH has a cold and is WFH this week, not a problem. Normally we have a sort of system where we do something in the morning then home for the afternoon. I’m the first to admit I don’t tend to organise activities for the kids, I’m happy for them to just play.

DH however will not stop asking me what we’re doing, what our plans are, and while he doesn’t pass comment if I say nothing the asking is making me feel like we should be out all day. AIBU to just stay home?

Does he also expect you to do all of the housework remotely whilst you’re out?

If he’s not used to working from home then I’d say it’s probably just cabin fever. He sounds like me - I absolutely cannot stay in the house all day and have to get out somewhere

We don’t stay in the house all day; we’re just not out all day either.

He's just asking and passing no comment? This is all an issue in your mind then?

Say 'nothing' every time he asks?
It's weird of him to be repeating the same question, like a toddler.

Does he have a separate office area where he can do his work ?

If he's only able to work from e.g the dining room table I can understand if he wants to try to plan parts pf his work - such as conference alls - around when he's least likely to be distracted

We go out in the morning and then home for lunch - if the weather is good there might be a trip to the park but if I’ve got a load of housework to do then we are in for the afternoon.

So, when he is over this cold and the work week ends he is back to his normal routine?
What is his usual work week?
Wouldn't hurt to mention that this is the family home where the dc live, rest and play. Where you do chores and enable family life. You can't run the house from the park.

Is this bringing up a new situation where a hard think about him having an office space, undisturbed, within the home? This is a new normal for a lot of people.
