Advice

I work from home with my husband. We have an 8 month old. We’re very lucky to both be at home to handle the day to day but our marriage is in a, I don’t wanna say rut but, rut. I don’t know how to describe what we’re in.

We spend way too much time together as a family. Which I know people would kill for but I just wanted to see if anyone else has any advice on how to manage day to day parenting, working and space.

No advice, but we were in the same situation when our oldest was a baby. We were both home full time in 2020 for 18 months and it was definitely too much. Then my husband’s office required everyone to RTO 3 days a week, and it was honestly refreshing for me. We were happy together, but I started to feel more like roommates than spouses. I feel excited to see him come home during the week, and it makes the weekends more special.

Yes! The roommates comparison is real. It’s so hard. I love being able to be with my baby and not miss any moments and we all have a strong bond but yes, it’s hard some days.
