Being a stay-at-home mom can be a tough job, and it’s even harder when you feel like you’re doing it all alone. One mom (26F) has been the sole caretaker of her toddler since December 2019, while her husband (27M) works. With a change in their financial situation, she’s now going back to a full-time work-from-home job, and she’s made it clear that her husband needs to help out more. But when she reaches her breaking point and can’t comfort her crying daughter, her husband gets angry. Is she really the one to blame?

A Desperate Cry for Help and Understanding
This exhausted mom has been shouldering the weight of childcare and household duties for years, and now, with a full-time job on the horizon, she’s reached her breaking point. After a night of frustration and a meltdown, her husband lashes out at her, leaving her feeling even more alone and overwhelmed. But there’s hope on the horizon: the couple has agreed to therapy and a chore chart to help share the responsibilities. Will this be the turning point she needs to find balance and support in her life?

NTA mom burned out, needs support from husband. Discussion necessary
NTA Your husband is a total dick for not understanding that you are burnt out although you told him so. With saying things like that he invalidates your hard work at home and on top of that you caught a cold. Either discuss with him about splitting the chores (since its also his child) or maybe start thinking the relationship over (although i don’t think you’re at that point of disagreement yet)
Anyways his behaviour shows some serious DARK ORANGE FLAG warnings. (or even red)
I wish you all the well and good recovery from your cold!
