@acaudpdrkkl2015 I think it’s a fairly common assumption that if someone WFH then they’re home to be there for the kids on those days. While it may not be a correct assumption I think it’s common enough that parent A should have communicated that wasn’t the case to parent B. Just because something is obvious to you doesn’t mean it is to someone else and it’s also an incorrect assumption to think it is. Both just assumed and neither said anything. There is the breakdown of communication. Parent B didn’t assume anything more than parent A did. Parent A was home they assumed that for the parents it would be status quo which means parent B going into the office.
Assumptions are always (on both sides so let’s stop blaming one or the other here) a lack of communication. Sometimes they’re correct and sometimes they aren’t. It wasn’t here. People on Reddit are so ready to go in for the fight forgetting that these are real partnerships that people need to live through and it’s beyond this one instance. If she communicated and the husband still walked out then yeah, that would be a bigger problem but that’s not what happened.
