For the last few month my mother in law has taken my kids to the park for 3h to give me opportunities to do other things

Most days I clean frantically in that time

Today I have an appointment an hour and 15min later but right now I feel like doing absolutely nothing

So I texted my partner: "Gosh I feel like just not being productive"

His response: "You can be"

Just a gentle reminders for others like me in the world.....

You can... just not be productive sometimes.... it's okay.... you deserve rest sometimes too ❤️

Maybe I can give you my wife's mobile number and you can tell her that? She won't listen to me :)

I honestly think it's really important to rest but hard to dismantle the messaging from society that we must constantly go. I hope your wife gets rest tho!! She deserves it!!

think working from home during the pandemic was the worst thing for her. She has such a hard time disconnecting from work when it is always right there. Now she works a "hybrid" schedule, which I think is the worst of both worlds for her. As someone who has worked from home for 25 years, I'm pretty good at disconnecting.

My partner is in the same mood: "I can't believe you, you said you love me". 🤷‍♂️
