This was something that one dad reminded his wife of when she got upset that he had curated a coming-of-age experience with him without her. Coloring their son's hair with the help of a friend, she started crying as she felt left out of the experience.
As a stay-at-home dad, the father had taken on almost all the parenting duties in recent years while his wife worked. He felt like his son was no longer comfortable with her and told her that they would not do anything together if they waited for her to join in. This caused her to stop talking to her husband, and he wanted to know if he had crossed a line.

Stay-at-home dad dyes 14-year-old son's hair purple, pushes back when working wife complains about them making memories without her: My son isn't even comfortable with her anymore'
Becoming a parent is a shock to the system in many ways, but one common thing that many moms in particular find difficult to prepare for is the level of guilt that can be felt in relation to their children. Every single decision that gets made post-parenthood feels like it has to be measured against the effect it will have on the kids, and more often than not, there are going to be doubts that you are making the correct decision.
The awkward thing is that while sometimes that little voice in your head is going to be highly unreasonable, other times, it's kind of right. Even if they get support and care from elsewhere, being a present part of the lives of your kids is essential, should you choose to have them. This can be difficult when you have responsibilities such as working full-time as well, and it is something that is often the source of tension between kids, parents, and partners who share children.
