I think the point was family would expect that from you, because you're home, not that it takes too much away from work.

I had to have that talk with my roommates when I worked from home. No, I won't be solely responsible for the dishes because I'm "home all day" when Im working 50-60 hours a week and you're working 40.

Beats having a roommate who keeps the tv on all day, loudly laughs constantly and walks around the house making car sounds
