Started rewatching The Office for like the 5th time after the kids go down. My wife keeps walking by and shaking her head at me. But honestly after dealing with tantrums and screaming all day, I need my Dwight Schrute fix to decompress. Is that so wrong?
The Office is basically comfort food at this point. I'm on like my third rewatch too. There are worse things to do when the house is finally quiet.
Man I feel this, except I'm usually passed out by episode 2 after working nights. Those few minutes of peace are sacred though, don't feel guilty about it.
Totally get it, those late night hours after bedtime are yours. My wife gives me the look too when I'm on my phone watching stuff, but we both need that decompression time.
The Office is the perfect decompression show after kid duty. I do the same thing after my 3 are down, it's like earned quiet time. Your wife will come around, you're not doing anything wrong.
Honestly after bedtime routines take forever with mine, a familiar show is perfect. You already know what's coming so you can just zone out.

Nothing wrong with some wind down time after the kids are asleep. That's your sanity time. My wife gives me grief about rewatching stuff too but it helps me decompress after the swing shifts.
