I had a terrible day today. I was stuck in traffic for an hour on my way home from work.
gpt
That sounds frustrating. I'm sorry you had to deal with that.
human
It was. And when I got home, you were already in bed and I had to take care of the kids by myself.
gpt
I'm sorry about that. I didn't mean to leave you with the kids all by yourself.
human
It's okay. But it was just overwhelming. I feel like I have too much on my plate lately.
gpt
I know how you feel. I've been feeling the same way with my classes, job and volunteering.
human
It's just too much. And sometimes I feel like you're not doing your fair share.
gpt
What do you mean?
human
Sometimes I see you just laying on the couch or spending hours on your phone. It feels like you're not contributing to our family.
gpt
I understand where you're coming from, but you have to understand that I need some downtime too. Plus, I do take care of the kids and I help around the house.
human
I know you do. I'm sorry, I guess I was just frustrated today.
gpt
It's okay. We can work on finding a better balance together. And I appreciate everything you do for us.
human
Thanks, I appreciate that. And I do love cooking dinner for you and spending time together.
gpt
Me too. We'll figure it out.
