Being a stay-at-home mom (SAHM) is a tough job, but being a working mom is no walk in the park either. This woman tried being a SAHM for three years but it took a toll on her mental health. She went back to work and now travels for her job once every two months. Her husband doesn't like it and makes snide remarks about her not fully doing her job as a mother. But when she reminds him of his vacationing with friends and leaving her to take care of their newborn, he calls her an a**hole. Is she really the a**hole for bringing up the past? Read on to find out.

🤔 Confronting double standards in parenting and marriage 🧐
Parenting is a partnership, or at least it should be. But what happens when one partner expects more from the other? In this post, a wife confronts her husband's hypocritical behavior when it comes to parenting and their careers. Despite her husband's expectation for her to be a stay-at-home mom, the wife returned to work after experiencing mental health struggles. However, her husband still criticizes her for occasional work travel, even though he has taken vacations without her and left her to care for their newborn. The wife confronts her husband about his double standards, leading to an argument about their past actions. But who is in the wrong? Join the discussion and share your thoughts on this complex issue of parenting and partnership.
