| I've written about this before, but nonetheless:
Obviously work has to take precedence over family life, that's what pays the bills. So we have spent the last year walking on eggshells, trying to inhabit our house-turned-office as unobtrusively as possible. Too often we fail. The tension is palpable, 24/7.
OH had been working from home one day a week for the last few years, so at the beginning we thought WFH full time would be a cakewalk. But as time has worn on, it clearly is not sustainable. At least not sustainable as a family.
YMMV. | |

I agree with what you wrote in the first paragraph. I felt the same way when my husband had to work from home (pre-COVID), and I was not working. I constantly felt my schedule was interrupted because of him WFH.
With regards to your comment about the sustainability of the whole thing, I think it depends who you ask. My kids will tell you they love having both parents at home (although they themselves have buggered off to a friend to play). So totally sustainable in their young minds. As for us adults, I think we both enjoy the fact that office is just a few steps away, but we are also very aware that we stay connected a bit more than we ought to!
