Imagine building your life plans together with your partner, only for them to take a sudden U-turn after your baby is born. That's exactly what happened to this couple, when the husband, Jeff, decided to take on an 80-hour work week to support his family, expecting his wife to quit her job and stay home with their newborn. The wife, however, had always been clear about her love for her job and had no desire to leave it for full-time parenthood. Now, the couple is at odds, and their family and friends are taking sides. 😮🍿
