OK so.. I'm preparing a draft work choices agreement for my wife and I. We both work from home and the hours are really flexible .. we can be "around" when the kids arrive home from school.... and we spend more time together.
In terms of working conditions, what do you think is fair? For example... should the "quickie" be limited by time and or quantity.... or should it remain spontaneous?
Also, should tantrums be allowed in the workplace?
Do you have any other recommendations for this draft workplace agreement?

Thanks Jen, I know what you mean. I used to work for myself until my boss joined the firm.

I work from home but not with my husband he works outside of the home. There are times like now (winter) that he doesn't work as much and he "requires" more of my attention which is fine by me if you know what I mean ;) lol
Anyways yes it is for the most part all fun and games with us and we enjoy our time together before the kids get back home from school but there are times when he drives me a little nuts especially when I have more then one job to finish then I have to get him out of the house or busy him with something to do around the house. That usually solves the problem...but if that doesn't work we end up having a "quickie" and that always solves the problem which may be why he tries to get on my nerves so much :)
as for the quickies I think spontaneous is best and I do prefer quality of it so if it is very quick it better be damn good ;)
so for me the rules would be no tantrums and a very good spontaneous quickie everything else is simple if it is in my office leave it alone and if my door is closed either I am very busy or I'm acting like I'm busy and am on Y!A :)

You find something else to do that will get you out of the house. Join a bridge club, take some adult education classes, volunteer at your church, Habitat For Humanity, food kitchen, animal shelter. There's tons of volunteer opportunities in ravaged areas like Joplin. You can always get a little part time job at the ice cream stand for the summer. My point is that you don't need to be there all the time. Being with someone all the time is usually hard on a marriage in the long run.

You know something that's kind of cool to both work at home. I would love to do that. As for the work place agreement. If you get injured at work, lets say while your both pulling a nooner. Do you file for Comp? I won't even go to pregnancy or STDs. Listen separate the house and devise a schedule or book appts with each other. Sounds great.

I used to work FOR my husband, and it was awful. If there was a problem between us personally, it wasn't like we could get away from each other, ya know?
Do your best to stay loving with each other. But have a plan for those off days. Never use your power in the work force. Try to remain equal and have DIFFERENT but equal duties.

Never limit the lovemaking (trust me, most women prefer this term eventually)! The more the better!
Tantrums?...why?...were they tolerated in either of your other workplaces? Probably not. Sounds like a great opportunity to practice treating each other as respectfully as possible.
Find a way to maintain individual space and schedules in addition to enjoying the togetherness!
Good luck!

looks like you're heading right into a sexual harassment lawsuit... you'll probably end up complaining to yourself that there's a guy working there that keeps hitting it with your coworker and that makes you uncomfortable.
Perhaps you need to get yourself a secretary to give you a hand around the house, hmm?

I would get an attorney if I were you :) Sounds like more than a simple agreement is needed.

Being fifteen I believe everything you mentioned is illegal here in the U.S.A so I really can't answer your question lol
