Work/life balancing act

By Clean up slob ass - 08/08/2025 16:00 - United States

Today, my husband was working from home, so I asked him to clean the living room and basement. He started yelling about how he needs to focus and that I can't be "constantly distracting him." Sorry for expecting you to care for the space you live in, dick. FML

I don’t think you realize what the term “work from home” means. Sounds like you wanted him to clean on his company’s time and dime. You could’ve asked him once he clocks off, but WFH doesn’t mean goof off and burn up time on personal errands and home stuff that should be done on weekends.

do you even understand what work in "work from home" stands for?

Consider his "Work at home" time as though he were at an office and not at home. If you ever had a job, you'd know that some jobs require concentration, and distractions F it up and waste time. You're the dick. I wouldn't be surprised if he asks his boss if he can come back to the office.

He is working. Leave him alone.

I genuinely don't understand how you thought you were gonna get any sympathy OP. He is working not being lazy and just laying around. You sound stupid and also like an absolute nightmare to be with.

Right! Also, what is SHE so busy doing while he's working, beside bossing him around? Clean the house yourself, B.

I take it that is a single income home (lucky situation), and she thinks he surfs the web all day when in the office.

I cannot WFH for the same reason. My wife comes in every few minutes to do something..... anything.... Now my daughter will come over with my granddaughter and walk in carrying her... knowing full well that the baby wants me to hold her. Some people just don't get it. So I only work from home 1 day a month while many others reverse that.

Cleaning the basement and living room don't pay the bills. WFH doesn't mean house work.

I love it when idiots just get roasted to hell in the comments.
