Husband Denies Support to Stay-at-Home Wife, Belittling Her Hard Job as Baby's Primary Caregiver

Being a parent is a full-time job. Therefore, if someone is given the impression that raising kids doesn't need a lot of time and work, they may become a little agitated. Having said that, how would you feel if your partner declined to help you with housework since, in his opinion, you haven't worked in over a year and are just expected to stay at home with the child.

The story below is an account of a frustrated husband. The primary source of income for the household is the original poster (OP). However, his partner had been taking care of the baby at home for the past year and had only recently returned to work. As a result, when the wife asked for assistance around the house or with infant care, OP declined to help. He failed to grasp the reason she would need help given how well-rested she is after spending the entire day 'playing' with the baby while he is hustling at work.

Therefore, as you have probably figured by now, this did not sit well with OP's wife, who insisted that OP show her gratitude for her hard work and commitment by lending a helping hand around the house. Thus, make sure to read the story below if you're curious about the details of what happened and whether or not OP and his wife were able to overcome this hurdle! After you're done, don't forget to read the story of the wife who, after her husband fails to plan a romantic ten-year anniversary night out, leaves him high and dry to care for the kids!
