<\/p>\n

Being a stay-at-home parent is a tough job for anyone \u2013 let alone while pregnant.<\/p>\n

This woman\u2019s husband seems to have missed the memo, however, and his lack of empathy is causing conflict in his marriage.<\/p>\n

Posting to Reddit, the mum-of-three who\u2019s currently pregnant with a fourth baby explained she left work to take care of the couple\u2019s children, while their father works eight-hour shifts five days a week.<\/p>\n

\u2018My husband thinks that because I don\u2019t work outside the house it\u2019s my responsibility to take care of all <\/em>duties related to the house and kids,\u2019 she said, adding that this includes cooking, cleaning, laundry, shopping, and everything related to the children\u2019s school and extracurricular activities.<\/p>\n

The woman\u2019s post read: \u2018On top of everything I do, he also expects me to make all of his meals \u2013 breakfast lunch and dinner.<\/p>\n

\u2018I am so tired recently from entertaining the kids all day during summer vacation and I\u2019ve been having a hard time with my pregnancy. <\/p>\n

\u2018He told me \u201clife\u2019s tough, this is your job\u201d and has no sympathy for me. In fact, he thinks I have it easy because I \u201cdon\u2019t work\u201d.\u2019<\/p>\n

Due to the stress she\u2019s under and the lack of support she feels, the mum decided not to make her husband dinner for the last two nights, causing him to treat her like \u2018a useless, horrible wife\u2019 in response.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\u2018Why can\u2019t he stop at the store after work and pick himself something up? Or look at what we have in the fridge and make something?\u2019 her post continued. <\/p>\n

\u2018When he\u2019s hungry, he\u2019ll constantly say \u201cI\u2019m starving, I\u2019m so hungry etc\u201d being passive aggressive to let me know he wants me to make him something.\u2019<\/p>\n

The woman said she felt \u2018completely undervalued and unappreciated,\u2019 in the home, but was worried she was in the wrong for putting her foot down and \u2018refusing to wait on him hand and foot\u2019.<\/p>\n

Redditors largely supported her, though, with one saying: \u2018I\u2019m not even married to your husband and I want to divorce him. What a jerk.\u2019<\/p>\n

\u2018I\u2019m sorry you\u2019re dealing with such an insufferable man who truly has no concept of how much [unpaid] work goes into all you take care of,\u2019 said another.<\/p>\n

\u2018Ask him to give you one weekend where he handles everything that he expects of you \u2013 full stop. Let him see how hard it is.<\/p>\n

\u2018This guy sorely needs a lesson in gratitude and showing appreciation.\u2019<\/p>\n

Some suggested she go on \u2018strike\u2019 and refuse to do anything to help her husband to teach him a lesson, while a few went one step further and advised the woman to leave him altogether.<\/p>\n

There were a couple of commenters who agreed with her husband, though, including one who said: \u2018You make dinner for the children and yourself. I would be furious if you didn\u2019t cook for me too.\u2019<\/p>\n

\u2018He is working outside the home. You no longer have work outside the home. The home is now your work. Deal with it,\u2019 wrote another, while a third added: \u2018I agree with him. SAHMs are responsible for cooking, cleaning, and childcare.\u2019<\/p>\n

The debate over whether it\u2019s better for one parent (usually the mother) to provide full-time childcare has raged on for years, and 33% of Brits still believe women should give up work for a baby\u2019s first years.<\/p>\n

Unrealistic beliefs that stay-at-home mothers \u2018rest while children nap\u2019, cook dinner \u2018from scratch\u2019 and are \u2018intimate with husband frequently\u2019 also remain, despite the fact it\u2019s a tiring job that takes constant awareness for vast majority of your time.<\/p>\n

For some, this isn\u2019t an option anyway due to the rising cost of childcare, and there are pros and cons to both lifestyles that every family must grapple with. <\/p>\n

Yet hopefully they don\u2019t also have to deal with a grown man expecting round-the-clock service\u2026<\/p>\n
