SGR 082: Dividing Household and Childcare Responsibilities When You’re Both Working From Home
Manage episode 258999030 series 2606785
One of the biggest challenges we’ve heard from couples we work with since quarantine began is managing household and childcare responsibilities.
All of a sudden, both of you were working from home. Schools and daycares closed, so the kids were home too.
Wow.
This has been a huge transition for families.
These circumstances lend themselves to increased stress and anxiety, less time for self-care, more conflict, and feelings of overwhelm. When both you and your partner are having a hard time, it can be extra challenging to come together as a team - but even more important.
There are a few simple strategies for navigating our new reality constructively:
- Get clear on where you’re at and what you want
- Approach your partner gently to discuss how you’re feeling and what you’re needing (and invite them to share the same)
- Come up with a plan and execute it
In this week’s episode, we’re talking about the struggles in this sudden transition, how to communicate with your partner to create a shared plan, and concrete tips for making it work.
