Man expects month-long birthday vacation from responsibilities, wife refuses 😳

Turning 30 is a big deal, but expecting a month-long birthday vacation from all responsibilities as a partner and a father? 🤔 That's what one man's "birthday month expectations" included, and his wife does not have it. She refused to agree to anything on his list, which included not doing any chores or paying rent for the month, playing Xbox for hours without interruption, and skipping workdays to sleep in. 🙅‍♀️ Although the man argued that his parents and friends had done this for him in the past, his wife couldn't afford to comply with his demands and needs his help. 💰 Now, he's giving her grief and avoiding her, making her wonder if she went too far. AITA? Let's take a look at what the comment section has to say about this entitled birthday behavior. 😬
