Entitled Wife Refuses to go Back to Work Despite Her Daughter Being in Daycare Full-Time

The question of how to split work, housework, and childcare is one that has plagued couples for generations. We all know that the 1950s model was for a husband to work outside of the home and a wife to do the housework and the childcare. From what I've seen in films satirizing this time period, that model didn't work great for either party. The wife would feel resentful that her husband didn't contribute enough around the house, and the husband would be irritated that his wife was financially dependent upon him. It's just a bad situation all around.

This stereotype of 50s married life doesn't mean that one working partner and one homemaker partner can't work. However, there needs to be a nearly equal balance of responsibility, otherwise, the marriage will become a breeding ground for resentment. One husband took to Reddit because his wife wasn't pulling her weight, and the people of Reddit couldn't help but agree with him.
