Raising a family is a difficult task. Trying to juggle work, chores, looking after the kids and much, much more takes a lot of time and effort. So, it’s important for parents to work together and share the load. But what happens when this isn’t the case?
Recently, u/71910sj101 on Reddit shared her experience of feeling like a single parent. Although married and raising a child with her husband, he started making excuses and shirking his responsibilities in the household. Saying he was “too tired” to help her do anything meant she had to do double-duties instead, leaving her feeling twice as exhausted.
Finally reaching her breaking point, she decided a solo vacation was needed to recover and let her husband get on with it for a change. She made her arrangements and took a break without him telling him beforehand.
If she wanted a reaction from him, she got it. But after hearing his side of the story, she wondered if this was the right thing to do or if it was necessary to send a message. Read on for the story and decide for yourself.
