Mom vs. Zoom Meetings: The Battle for Silence

Picture this: you’re a stay-at-home mom with a 7-month-old baby, and your husband has just started working from home after a big promotion. He demands complete silence during his Zoom meetings, but let’s be real – babies aren’t exactly known for being quiet. So, what’s the solution? Well, hubby thinks mom should pack up the baby and leave the apartment every time he has a meeting. But is that fair? Let’s dive into this heated debate and see if we can figure out who’s right and who’s wrong. ‍♀️

The Great Silence Debate: Who’s Right?

So, we have a stay-at-home mom with a 7-month-old baby and a husband who’s just been promoted and now works from home. He insists on complete silence during his Zoom meetings, but as we all know, babies aren’t exactly quiet creatures. His solution? Mom should leave the apartment with the baby every time he has a meeting. But is that fair? Opinions are divided, with some saying it’s her apartment too and she shouldn’t have to leave, while others argue she should support her husband so he can support the family. Let’s see what the internet has to say about this tricky situation… ‍ ‍
