Man Corrects Wife’s Friend on Breadwinner Status, Sparks Fiery Debate

Picture this: a husband and wife, both working, but the husband has automated his business to the point where he only works an hour a week. The wife, a school librarian, works full-time. They’ve decided that the husband will take on most of the childcare duties during the week. All seems well, right? But when the wife’s friends come over and mistakenly assume she’s the primary breadwinner, the husband steps in to correct them, and things take a dramatic turn.
