It's not just that she doesn't want to babysit her husband's bandmate's children, it's like she's practically their slave. She just cares to other people's needs all day. She shouldn't be obligated to do this, even if she's a SAHM without any hobbies.

She approaches his name-calling so casually. In my book, this type of language is absolutely off limits to call a woman. It shows a complete lack of respect, and it's intentionally trying to hurt the other person. Name calling is never justified, even in the heat of the moment of fighting.

SAHM refuses to babysit husband’s bandmate’s chaotic kids, he insists she should be happy to do it because she “doesn’t have any hobbies”: “I just hover around and fulfil everyone’s needs for the day”
Being a stay-at-home mom is a controversial job. Many women might assume it's a "heaven on earth" type of job, where they get to be with their precious baby, doing whatever they want, being in the comfort of their own home. Some other people may demean it for not being a "real job." But anyone who's anyone knows that it's an extremely difficult and demanding job. It's even more stressful than a "real job" because it never stops. You never really get a second to yourself, you don't get a lunch break, and you don't get to go home for the day and have a work-life separation. It's constant cooking, cleaning, preparing, and a slew of other tasks that don't need to be mentioned. Sure, your baby takes a nap, but it's not like you just have endless downtime. It means you probably have to clean something, take your shower, do laundry, or prepare dinner.
In the story below, the protagonist is a stay-at-home mom. Because of this, her husband thinks it's appropriate that she not only parent and take care of their child, but his friend's children too.
