New mom sabotages her husband's gaming tournament after he refuses to help care for their newborn: 'Step up and be a parent too'

Parenting is a two-person job. While there are excellent single parents out there, caring for a newborn often requires the waking attention of two fully attentive adults, which is why having children can make or break a relationship. When new parents reach a boiling point, things can go south very quickly.

For the Redditor in our next tale, things took a turn for the worse the moment their baby was born. Although he never showed signs of inattentiveness or laziness prior to the birth of their baby, this man became a whole new person in the midst of fatherhood–and not for the better. The wife and new mom originally posted this story online asking strangers on the Internet if her confusion and fury were misplaced, but after reading a few details about her husband's reaction to their new life together, it's clear.

Keep scrolling to read how this new mom stood up for herself and her needs as a human when her lackluster husband found a higher calling in his video games over his duty to his newborn child.
