Husband lashed out at the two who were asked to look at him

Parenting is one of the toughest jobs – so it is usually up to your spouse to support it.

But, a tired wife did that–now, if she asked for too much, now is guessing.

A 1- and 2-year-old millennial mom took the R/AITA forum on Reddit and asked other users if she had made a mistake asking her husband to help her child take care of her child 30 minutes a day.

She explained in the post that she worked part-time from home Monday to Friday while taking care of the couple’s two children.

“In the morning, they caught my full attention, which wasn’t bad, but it was very difficult to have them entertain and take care of it in the afternoon after I was trying to take a nap while I was trying to work. We are actively working on other solutions, but this is what we have to do now,” the OP wrote.

When mom finished her job, her husband was already at home and she started preparing dinner.

“I hate washing clothes, he hates cooking, so we made a deal, I’m going to do all the cooking, he’s washing all the clothes, I don’t mind at all. The only thing I want is to have him watch the kids and let them leave the kitchen for 20-30 minutes and I have dinner ready for all of us.”

She explained that the little window to play with the kid was “struggle for him” because he was tired from work.

Prompt eye roll.

“Tonight, I was in the middle of cooking with dirty hands, stove and oven and he asked if I could help one child while he was holding another because he was picky. I told him no, I was working all day and everything I needed was 20 minutes to cook for everyone.”

Well, the boy was upset that his wife refused to help – eventually surrendered.

The bigger problem here is that the husband obviously doesn’t respect his wife’s work all day – he only focuses on that when he works.

Other Reddit users made a sound in the comments.

“He can handle his own kid for 30 minutes. Holy Hell, weapons are incompetent. He should be embarrassed.”

“It sounds like he’s going to keep you with the kids every day, for a lot of 30 minutes.”

“Those are also his children. It’s bad for two kids to be parents in person at the same time. Sometimes parenting is sucked and he needs to be a complete parent, not an assistant.”

“You need to start taking Saturday away from your family and keeping your husband alone with the kids. He needs to be happy with parenting and understand how crazy it is to be doing this while you are at work.”

Unfortunately, this is not the first powerless person to make a simple request to his partner.

A frustrated woman begging her boyfriend to help with the housework – his response was shocking.

“We have had the same discussion for years and we haven’t found a solution together,” she wrote in R/AITA Subreddit.

His answer was, “When I feel it, I will do it.”

“If he doesn’t complete the task on time, I still have to do that,” she wrote.

“I was very tired mentally and I’ve told him a lot,” she admitted. “He said I was negative about this situation and I was ridiculous and dramatic.”
