""We have two kids, 1 and 2 years old. I work from home part-time, 12pm-5:30pm Monday through Friday. I also watch our two kids. In the morning they get all my attention, and it's not too bad, but in the afternoons after their naps when I'm trying to work, keeps them entertained and taken care of it's quite difficult," she began in her Reddit post."
"She explained that they're actively working on coming up with a different solution, but for now, this is the only setup that works for them. Right when she gets off work, her husband arrives home, and she immediately starts making dinner. Since she hates doing laundry and he doesn't like to cook, they have an agreement where she does all the cooking and he'll do the laundry. Seems fair, right?"
"The only thing she asks of him while she's cooking is to watch the kids and keep them out of the kitchen for at least 30 minutes while she prepares the food. Despite how low-maintenance the request is, she noticed that her husband struggles immensely with the task. "He usually asks for help when one is fussing or he has to go to the bathroom or whatever. Tonight, I was in the middle of cooking, hands dirty, stove"
A 30-year-old mother works part-time from home caring for two children aged one and two. Afternoons after naps create difficulty for her to both work and manage the children. When her husband arrives home she immediately begins dinner because he dislikes cooking and she dislikes laundry, so they split chores: she cooks and he does laundry. She requests he watch the children and keep them out of the kitchen for at least 30 minutes during meal preparation. He frequently complains about the arrangement and struggles with supervising the children without asking for help.
