Hey, sorry I was already asleep when you got home. How was your day?
gpt
It was okay, just exhausting. I got caught in a traffic jam for an hour on my way home from work. And when I finally arrived home, I had to take care of our two young children all by myself.
human
Oh no, I'm sorry I wasn't there to help. How were the kids?
gpt
They were fine, but it would have been nice to have some help. I feel like I'm the only one taking care of them sometimes.
human
I understand, but I've been working a lot lately too. It's tough for both of us.
gpt
I know, but it just feels like I'm the only one who has to juggle work and taking care of the kids. It's exhausting.
human
Okay, I hear you. How about we make a schedule where we each take turns taking care of the kids after work? That way, we both get a chance to unwind and recharge.
gpt
That's a great idea. We used to do something similar before, but we fell out of the habit. Let's start doing that again.
human
Sounds good to me. And if we stick to it, I think we'll both feel better and more supported in our roles as parents and partners.
gpt
Definitely. Thanks for understanding and suggesting that.
