hmm I feel lucky after reading this thread. My wife knows where the money comes from. She rarely complains, I work at home but she knows we have 35 employees and that they need me from 9-5. I suggest a good open honest conversation, or a therapy, if you want to keep your relationship happy
Sometimes they just want to know that you are paying some attention to them, No one wants to be ignored. I just try a little give and take. Also one of the benefits of working at home is no commute time.. think about how long it would take you to get to an office, and spend that ammount of time each day workorking on something your wife wants. Its all about give and take. And yes CHATTING is part of your work. You can also when they ask you to do something say I am busy rigth now but when I get done I can help you with what you want. Hope that helps, There are a lot of good things and some bad things about workign from home. I have been doing it for 8 yeas now and am super happy witht he extra free time I get from not commuting !
