Husband Furious He Had to Spend 4 Hours Looking After His Baby, So He Lied and Said the Kitchen Was on Fire to Make Her Come Home

Being a parent is a very demanding job. If you already have a baby, then you know that; but for those who have yet to find themselves in a parenting role, life can be pretty messy until you figure out how to manage every single duty you have on a daily basis.

It requires time, unconditional love, and a lot of sacrifices. As mothers are more involved in childcare, they often find themselves in situations where it doesn't matter how they look or feel; the child must be provided with everything needed, and that is the only thing that matters.

Fathers have their role in childcare as well, but if they don't want to play it right away, they can reschedule it; mothers can't. Mothers don't have the luxury of being tired.

They can't take a shower whenever they want; washing their hair is a venture that has to be planned in advance. Going to a manicure or pedicure is nearly impossible, the hair salon feels like it's miles away from their schedule, shopping is a distant memory, and many other essentials that women owe to themselves are neglected. Oh, and don't forget about hanging out with friends; you have to choose a good place for them and your baby too. Plus, if you are breastfeeding or need to change the baby's diaper in a restaurant, it's just easier to stay at home and FaceTime with friends than to fit all the requirements together.

It is not a horror story, but while motherhood is a heartwarming "job," it can also be hard to organize a mother's needs alongside the baby's. Naturally, mothers often neglect themselves and dedicate all their time to the baby. These difficulties are something that no man would ever understand.

This fact shocked one Reddit user when she received unnecessary squabbling and stress from her husband instead of understanding and support. Take a look at the full story below and see what happened to this new mom.

Being a Parent Is the Most Beautiful Feeling in the World.

The comfort of your home can easily evolve into your prison when you have no one to understand you and take care of you. Parenting is such a beautiful responsibility, full of joy and unimaginable happiness, but it should also be done in partnership.

Otherwise, one partner could neglect themselves by doing everything on their own. That is the main reason why SAHMs are more often depressed, angry, and sad.

These feelings don't stem from excessive liability but from a lack of understanding from their partner. Partners must support each other; it's the only way for the family to be happy.
