"My husband and I became parents, but not to the same extent!
My husband continued his work; I did not.
My husband still makes money; I make zero.
My husband keeps his hobbies; I can't go out without someone asking me who I left the baby with?!
My husband sleeps soundly every night while I nurse or rock the baby.
My husband wakes up in the morning saying he had a good night's rest, while my eyes droop from exhaustion after a sleepless night.
My husband takes a quiet shower, while I am escorted every time and forced to finish in five minutes.
My husband has kept in touch with all his friends, while I don't even know the last time I talked to anyone.
He, after finishing his eight hours of work, sits relaxed on the sofa, while I never finish my work as a mother, wife, or woman (who sits at home and does nothing).
My husband is not fighting the pregnancy weight, let alone the birth experience...
No, we are not equal in rights as parents as long as I have given up my life altogether! Society fails to recognize that parenting is a full-time, unpaid job that is more demanding than any other job.
Now I am more empathetic with other women, mothers.
For years I criticized them and called them maintained, when throughout history they were and are the ones that keep humanity alive.
We must take care of the mother as she takes care of the baby!"
