I’ve been learning about the importance of expectations in marriage counseling. Specifically, I’ve been learning about how important it is to make your expectations known, clearly, if you have any hope of them being met.
What, if anything, does this have to do with women who work full time?

I do a lot of my work from home. I work a full time job from my home several days a week and juggle several part time and freelance writing jobs that are done at home on nights and weekends. As I’ve mentioned before, almost all of my work is done on my laptop.
When I’m working, I need to concentrate. I need to, to a certain extent, be left alone so that I can work. During the week, when the rest of my family is at work or school, this is not a problem. However, if I’m working at night or on a weekend morning - something my husband understands and is supportive of - the “being left alone” part gets a little tricky.
