Emerging Themes

Theme	Description	Example
The right to space	Negotiation between spouses over the right to a separate, quiet workspace at home (How is the home-space divided between the spouses? Who works in a home- office and who works in the living room/kitchen?)	"My husband is a male and males have the ability to focus on one thing, and one thing only… So he would go into the home office and not go out all day… he could sit there and not hear anything while I am in a Zoom session with my pupils, the kids are fighting with each other, and I have to worry about food, and this child is hungry and he [the husband] is upstairs … I do not have the ability to ignore these things. Not at all. So every now and then I had to shout: 'Come here! They are quarreling. Can't you hear? ' Then he would come out of his room and say 'did they quarrel? I didn't hear'. So yeah, he would get up and do it. When I tell him, he has no problem doing, but in general, he took the room to himself and shut himself off, leaving me in the kitchen."
Control of work time	The ability to separate professional public time from domestic private time, particularly with regard to the timing and continuity of working hours (How do the spouses divide their time? Who works in the morning and who works in the afternoon/evening? Who has continuity in working hours and whose time is discontinuous?)	"I was with the kids in the morning and my husband worked during those hours from home, and then, in the afternoon, we would try to take turns so I could work on my tasks. But it was not very good, because there were two small children in the house, and there were constantly disturbances and distractions. I could not work continuously… So we decided on an arrangement: he would wake up at three o'clock in the morning, work until noon, go to bed and in the afternoon he would be with the kids. If he has an afternoon call, then I would take the kids and the dog for a walk. In the evening he would bathe the kids, and in the meantime I would prepare dinner. In the evenings, when they go to bed I would go upstairs to work until two or three in the morning. I did not have many hours of continuous work, except for the night."
Embodiment/body management	The management of the professional body in the home-space (How does the introduction of Zoom into daily life affect the need to manage a professional body within the house? How do men and women dress up for a Zoom meeting? How do they take care of a professional work environment that matches their managerial status?	"I usually would get up, get dressed, put make-up, and then leave the house, but when I had to stay home, I couldn't really continue with the pajamas all day, so most of the time I also got dressed at home. But I would wear a shirt that looked more or less okay, a bra, etc., but I would sometimes stay with my sport pants that no one can see with the Zoom camera… It is important to dress as if you're going to work even if [it is at home]. I will not sit in front of a 17 year old pupil when I am carelessly dressed
