MY HUSBAND COMPLAINED THAT I WAS RESTING TOO MUCH AS A STAY-AT-HOME MOM OF 4, SO WE SWITCHED PLACES FOR A FEW DAYS
For the past 10 years, I've been fully devoted to childcare. I used to dream about having a big career, but now I'm a proud mom of 4. Don't get me wrong. I love my kids, but the exhaustion is REAL. Any mom will understand—it's a full-time job. My husband, Henry, and I had an agreement: he provides, and I handle the house and kids. That was the deal, and I never complained.
But lately, Henry's been making more and more comments about how I "DO NOTHING ALL DAY" and how "LAZY" I am. The final straw? I asked him to grab something from the top shelf, and he blew up, yelling about being the sole breadwinner and how tired he was while I just "relax" at home. I was stunned.
So, I calmly suggested we switch places for a few days—he'd stay home as the "housewife," and I'd go to his office. 👇 See less
