Husband Working Full Time And Doing 100% Of The Chores Snapped When His 6-Month Pregnant Wife Woke Him Up In The Middle Of The Night To Go To The Store For Some Sweets
Should pregnant women do chores?
One exhausted husband thought he was doing everything right, until a late-night craving pushed the situation over the edge.
He works full time, handles nearly all the chores, and is trying to support his 24-week pregnant wife, who says she has never felt better. But when he asked for a little help around the house, the conversation quickly turned into a fight, and the tension only grew after she woke him up in the middle of the night for sweets.
Now he is left wondering whether he was too harsh, or if he has simply reached his limit. Read on.
50-hour workweek and house chores made one soon-to-be dad feel burnt out…

OP was feeling overworked and burnt out.

His wife refuses to do anything around the house, claiming it would hurt the baby.
fruitsnackk94
That setup was already wearing him down.
And one night, she crossed the line...

OP didn't want to go to the store at 2 AM

And he snapped at his wife
fruitsnackk94
He said he was done with doing all the chores
fruitsnackk94
And his wife started crying...

Her mom got pulled into the argument too.
This is similar to a woman setting boundaries with her pregnant best friend after she lost her job.
She told her mother about the fight, and OP received an angry text from her. According to her, he is hurting his baby.

The Redditors were pretty much unanimous:
fruitsnackk94
People in the comments did not hold back.
OP is manipulated
fruitsnackk94
She is pregnant, not dying
fruitsnackk94
Women who have given birth all agree that this is pure manipulation.
fruitsnackk94
Pregnant women should be relatively active unless advised otherwise by their doctors.
fruitsnackk94
The wife is manipulative in the worst way—she is using the baby.
fruitsnackk94
And involving the mother-in-law... very immature.
fruitsnackk94
Pregnancy isn't an illness.
fruitsnackk94
Right on
fruitsnackk94
OP confirms that his wife is generally lazy, not just when pregnant.

One more comment kept the criticism going.
And one woman who worked until she was 38 weeks had this to say:

The fact that her mom sent a text, joining her daughter in judging OP and claiming he is hurting his baby, says a lot. It is evident that OP’s wife was overprotected in her parents' home and has turned into a lazy person.
It is beyond our comprehension how her mother doesn’t see her fault in all this and continues to support her. We would recommend OP send his wife to her mom and let her take care of her precious baby, who is 27, by the way.
