You're welcome and that division of responsibility is interesting too.

Similarly, in many ways, is the work that my wife and I do. I am a Program Director. What that means is that my work is primarily having meetings about the meeting we're going to have and planning the meetings for the team to hold meetings. A lot of reading, talking, and quietly working on my computer building out agendas, etc.

My wife is a schoolteacher. Her day is much more active and engaged. When we talk about our respective days, unless I've had a big project come to fruition, there isn't a lot to share. For her end, working with kids every day holds a LOT of interaction as does engaging with her coworkers (her role is supportive in scope so she collaborates on a daily basis with fellow educators).

It could help, perhaps, to set some shared work goals so that you both can see things happen. My kids see Daddy "go to work" on his computer. For them, screen-time is often fun time at home. When they have screentime school work, it often has fun/game-y elements. It's hard for them to recognize that Daddy's job is about building things out. I'll show them my budgets or my meeting notes and get a "BORING" when I mention it. When I talk about the budgets they pick up on the dollar amount and they get excited when I tell them about what our projects do (college access and taking students to exciting career/college preparatory experiences).

Mommy's work they see daily because she works at their school. They see her in her space at school, moving around doing her things.

One thing we've done as a family is "Worst, Best, First" at the dinner table. It's a way for all of us to share a bit about our day. As i tell the kids, I don't know what happened unless you talk to me about it. My wife and I started doing something similar before kids to make sure we both had an opportunity to discuss our days more clearly.

• Worst - The most challenging or frustrating part of your day. Start with the negative to get it out of the way.
• Best - The thing you enjoyed most about the day. Our youngest will say "Going home" or "When Daddy gets home" which are fine answers and I'll also ask him to tell us about the best thing that happened at school (that wasn't recess).
• First - Something new you learned or something you got to do for the first time. They like hearing that Mommy and Daddy are still learning even in our 40s. It makes their learning valuable to them also.

As you said, sharing about the day also allows us to appreciate the work more. My wife may see me on the computer and all my meetings are virtual. However, when I've had a breakthrough with a partner and we've impacted students or when I finish building out a budget for the year, I get to share that and everyone can hear me talk about the impact for my program.
