Resenting working from home during isolation

[TheLittleLady]

I think I understand why you feel as you do. Your at-home time should be your own time, and you feel that the demands from work that are being made of you while at home with your family are intrusive, and somewhat of a nuisance.

Those who are being paid to work at home ought to expect to spend the hours that they normally work (7 hours per day for me) from home. In the US, if your boss is expecting you to be on the clock 18 hours for 8 hours pay, file a complaint with HR or the Labor Board. The other option is to negotiate your work at home hours with the boss.

We all get crabby (at least I think we do)!
I usually check my bank balance, breathe, say a prayer of thanks and promise myself a glass of wine at quitting time

This is a very hard time, even for those who don’t work from home. I can’t imagine how you handle a young baby and work. Babies don’t respect our work schedules!
I find myself feeling down for no reason, maybe just because I can’t have a change of scene or take the kids to the park. My grandson seems to have ADHD and though I try to keep him on a schedule, he fights it. And I’m still not recovered from a long bout with the flu, I guess.
I also miss going to mass, though I watch our pastor and Bishop Barron’s masses. They are very helpful.
Praying for all those at home with young children.
