Picture this: a hardworking dad (35m) and his stay-at-home wife (32f) have two kids and share childcare and chores. The wife enjoys girls trips, while the husband prefers staying home. After a grueling 60-hour work week, our tired dad requests a day off from all responsibilities, which his wife agrees to. But when the day arrives, she ‘forgets’ the agreement and asks him to help with the kids. What’s a man to do? ‍♂️

Dad’s Day Off Drama: Who’s in the Wrong?

So, our exhausted dad finally takes a day off after months of hard work, but his wife ‘forgets’ their agreement and interrupts his relaxation time. Fed up, he leaves the house for a few hours, only to return to a frosty reception. Was he right to stand his ground, or should he have sucked it up and helped out? Let’s see what the internet thinks of this situation…
