Our protagonist and his wife have always been a power couple, both working hard and contributing to their family’s income. But when his wife suddenly expresses her desire to become a stay-at-home mom and an Instagram mom, he’s not exactly thrilled. He believes that having two working parents is better for their financial stability, and he’s not convinced that Instagram will provide a steady income. Despite his wife’s persistence and even tears, he stands his ground, suggesting she could work part-time and take on more chores if she’s really committed to her Instagram dream. But she’s not budging either, insisting that her Instagram work will be enough. So, who’s in the right here? Let’s see what the internet thinks of this situation…
