‘If I waited to make memories with our son, we wouldn’t have any’: 14-year-old dyes his hair with help from stay-at-home dad without mom, she becomes resentful

Our memories are some of the most meaningful aspects of our lives. If we forgot everything immediately after we did it, we'd be in a senseless ad infinitum akin to one of Dante's circles of Inferno. So when this overworked mom of a teenage boy asks her husband to wait to bond with him until she's there, he puts his foot down. She's sensitive about them forming memories without her, but his argument is that if they waited for her, they wouldn't have any memories at all. She could take a step back from working, but she chooses not to. 

The protagonist is a single dad who's just trying to be the best husband and father he can be. His wife is an overworked mother who's trying to provide for her family. Though the typical gender roles are switched, it's a hardship that isn't easy on any marriage or family. The teenage son is the one who has to carry the weight of his parent's mishaps also.
