'You won't overshadow me at home, too': Stay at Home Mom Forbids Husband From Helping out Around the House, Demanding He ‘Stay in His Lane'

Every marriage navigates life in a different way. Some stay at home with the kids while the other works, some hire a nanny, and some, well, they choose not to have babies in the first place.

The story below is of a confused husband who truly believed he was being helpful. OP works to provide for his family, while his wife stays at home to look after the children. But because of a severe back problem, OP is confined to his home and is unable to work. He has decided that, while he is at home preparing for surgery, he should assist his wife with taking care of the kids and the house. But instead of feeling grateful for the thoughtful act, OP's wife thought her husband was attempting to minimize her skills as well as contributions to the household.

I won't reveal too much, but let's just say that a simple gesture of compassion turned into a heated dispute. Having said that, find out what took place between OP and his wife and whether or not they were able to get past their disagreement by reading the story below! And when you're through, check out the story about the woman who skips her best friend's wedding here!
