Man Refuses To Take Off Work To Watch His Son, Argues It's His Wife's Job
Every couple with children lands on some kind of system to share the labor. Sometimes people switch or days, or months, or they agree to have one person take on the housework while the other focuses on supporting the family financially. There is no perfect recipe for a happy family or marriage, but the important thing is that everyone feels valued and not like they're being taken for granted. There's not a single thing wrong with taking on the role of a stay-at-home mom, but it is wrong to be pushed into that position and then resented by your partner for 'having it easier,' as if managing a household is not a 24/7 occupation.
Like we said, find the balance that works for you, but make sure all parties understand why it's 'balanced.'

It was u/tempaccoutnt who took to the 'Am I The A-Hole' community on Reddit to ask if he was in the wrong for telling his wife that he won't or can't watch their son. 'Won''t is a whole lot different than 'can't.'

Before diving into the incident, OP provides a little much-needed backstory. A bit about his marriage and career, and how proud he is of making 'good money' and being able to support his family. Ok, and?
