I don't have the luxury of working from home, but def feel this as a tech guy in a no - tech family.

No one cares about how I found some crusty old code that was not at all optimized that I trimmed an order of magnitude off its run time, nor how I fixed some dumb debugging logic a coworker inserted that caused a race condition once in a while; hell basically no one would understand unless I explained ELI5 style.

The especially hard part is that the dynamic OP is meme-ing on is the reverse of me and my fiancé (I'm the male and I want to talk, she's the female and wants to forget she even has a job the moment she's out of the office).

Actually they might (in my experience) be interested enough to listen if you can dumb it down enough: e.g. I found this thing that wasn't very well written and I re-wrote it and now it runs 1,000 times faster. You probably need to ELI5 to manglement anyway, so why not for the family too? Hopefully they'll respond to your enthusiasm if nothing else.

Your dynamic is perhaps different, but you do have the empathy (or whatever) to know that it's different.
