We fight about it every week. Anyone else?

My husband and I keep getting stuck in the same argument, he just can’t seem to grasp that WFH is still real work, not “hanging out at home.” Today, I was buried in a project when he walked over and said: “Can you run to my dad’s? His computer’s acting up, should be quick.”

I told him I had meetings this afternoon and couldn’t just drop my work to leave. His dad’s 20 minutes away driving there, fixing whatever’s wrong plus driving back? That’s at least an hour, maybe more. But he acted like I was being uncooperative. It’s like because I’m in the house instead of an office, he thinks I’m available whenever for favors. I’ve explained my deadlines, my meeting schedule, and it still doesn’t click.

This same fight every week is starting to wear on me. Am I the only one with a spouse who mixes up WFH with “free time”? It’s a real job with real responsibilities?
