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

Pregnancy is a delicate period in a woman's life, marked by many changes. However, it is also a challenging time for their partners.

They suddenly find themselves living with a completely different person, and it takes time to adjust to these changes.

All jokes aside, pregnancy is truly demanding for both partners, and they must adapt to the transformations it brings. Even if you come to terms with these changes, terrible morning sickness, significant mood swings, and constant cravings can be mentally and physically exhausting.

Having a spouse who steps up and participates can make things a little easier. However, if you take it too far, the people in your support system may become overwhelmed.

This is precisely what happened to user fruitsnackk94. The man wanted to be a decent husband, even though he was working full-time.

He was doing all of the chores and assisting his expectant wife, who claimed she had "never felt better." When the chores became too much for him, he had a conversation with his wife, asking for her help around the house.

Surprisingly, the woman was insulted, claiming that it "would stress her out and maybe endanger the baby." The soon-to-be father sought advice from the AITA community, so read on for the rest of his story.

50-hour workweek and house chores made one soon-to-be dad feel burnt out…

OP shares his story: His wife is 24 weeks pregnant...

He works full time and does all the chores

His wife... does none. She is pregnant.

OP was feeling overworked and burnt out.

fruitsnackk94

His wife refuses to do anything around the house, claiming it would hurt the baby.

fruitsnackk94

And one night, she crossed the line...

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

fruitsnackk94

And he snapped at his wife

fruitsnackk94

He said he was done with doing all the chores

And his wife started crying...

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

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.

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).
