Overworked Mom takes week-long vacation away from family, incompetent husband left scrambling: ‘My partner hasn’t done […] laundry in 10 years’

This mother needed a vacation away from parenting, and we totally get it. Not only was she the primary caretaker of her three children, but also she was juggling virtually every household duty imaginable with her own part-time job. Objectively speaking, the division of labor within this household was wildly imbalanced, yet somehow, this woman's husband thinks differently. 

Sure, he works a full-time job and is technically the primary breadwinner of the family, but even so, you would think he would understand his wife's desire for a break during the week of her birthday. What's funniest, though, is that she didn't just want a break from her kids and from her household responsibilities. She wanted a break from her husband too. 

She planned a week-long vacation away from her family to be alone like the fully iconic queen she is, leaving her husband with absolutely no idea what to do. The man hadn't done laundry by himself in a decade. He didn't understand the kids' routine. He probably didn't even know they had a routine, which is telling enough that the division of responsibilities was far from equitable. Perhaps this could be a character-building experience for him. Good luck, sir! Really, good luck to the kids!
