He acts like he&#39;s not home when he&#39;s working from his office and ignores or gets mad when I ask him to watch the kids while I have my therapy.  He told me to stop trying to make him watch the kids when he&#39;s workibg even after I told him I have therapy. I didn&#39;t stop giving him the kids to watch while I have my meditation session which made him get a lock.  That made me angry and frustrated, I had a huge fight with him telling to cut some of his work hours but he said he won&#39;t because his job is important whileas my therapy can be done any time of the day, but I &quot;choose&quot; to do it when he&#39;s working and isn&#39;t available to stay with the kids.  I told him schedule is important and can not be rearranged. he called me inconsiderate for wanting him to cut on his work hours just so I could meditate.

When a person is working from home they should absolutely be treated as if they are not home but in the office, the fact that your husband had to get a lock shows just how intrusive you have been.  Yes, being a SAHP is work, and hard work at that, I absolutely don&rsquo;t want to minimize the amount of work you have looking after 3 kids and a home. Unfortunately SAHPs do not earn income for all their hard work, so your husband needs to focus on his job during work hours to provide for your family. vestiminferever writes: NTA .If your husband unilaterally picked up additional hours that makes him an ahole.
