Mom Asks Husband To Watch Kids On His Day Off And He Goes Ballistic, Leading Wife To Question Relationship

Days off are great, they let you take a break and recharge. At least, that’s the case when you don’t have kids. Children change everything: “me time” becomes a distant memory, and work might be the only place where you get a break from parenting responsibilities.

But what about stay-at-home parents? Do they get a day off? This was the question raised by a mom on Reddit’s r/AITA forum when she asked her husband to watch their kids while she ran errands.

Instead of supporting her, he complained that he wanted his day off to be kid-free, triggering a wave of pent-up frustration from his wife. After a heated argument filled with accusations and shouting, she began to question if she was the one at fault.

Seeking perspective, she turned to the internet for advice.

After that, the commenters weighed in. And the consensus was that she was NOT the problem here.
