You get left ALL the jobs by the family, including washing, cleaning up kitchen, feeding animals, school drop-offs, and more
You get distracted by a messy house
You leave house messy, for too long
You look for all the answers in the fridge
You wear stretchy clothes so often you don’t realise you’ve put on 20 kilos
You are nearly smothered in the ironing when entering laundry
You get up at 4am and end up working
You come home from school drop off, sit down to work, glasses on head, put them on, stare and the screen, wonder why it’s so dark and small, and realise you’re wearing your sunglasses
My children think I can still pick them up and drop them off. I still have to explain why I can’t every single week
My children text me and ask ‘What are you doing?’ I no longer answer
My children ask me what I’m doing tomorrow, when I have been working the same days for months. I no longer answer this question
You pretend your camera is broken on your computer, so you don’t have to brush your hair for a Skype call
Birds outside your window have become annoying, You think about making a slingshot
You drink too much coffee
You don’t eat lunch
You binge on food at 5
You are still working after dinner
You get asked to run errands during the day by family
You don’t have to clean up after dinner because you’re ‘working’
No one laughs at your jokes
No one talks to you (Also no one talks to you, which can be good)
You have a lovely office, but work from the sofa
You’re insanely productive
You’re insane
People ring you and asks if you’re working today. Yep, same as I was the other days, and the days before that, and when you asked last time
