hello,
I used to work full-time and always on the go. Now that I am at home there are times when I feel lonely and need adult conversation around me. I put on the radio and listen to CBC when it is downtime. Maybe for him (who may not be used to staying home) might find your "presence" comforting. Also, maybe he might be interested in having you as his home provider and wants to know how you are with the children?
