If you’ve ever raised an infant, you can probably remember a handful of days when it felt like absolutely nothing was going right. In those scenarios, you’d hope your partner would be extra supportive and help you through those baby challenges.
Unfortunately, that isn’t always the case.
One woman recently argued with her husband, who accused her of aggressively passing off their baby to him on a day when she really needed a break.
She and her husband are 25 and have a seven-month-old son together. Recently, while her husband was at work and she was home with their son, she and the baby were having a rough day.
“He was fussy all day, and when I went to take him to the pool after getting us ready, I found that my husband had taken our pool pass with him to work,” she explained.
“Earlier in the day, I had showered while [the] baby napped, and [I] found that my husband had used all the hot water when he had showered before work. So, I was already annoyed on top of dealing with the very fussy baby.”
In the middle of her stressful afternoon, she texted her husband that she could use a break, hoping he’d help her out.
When her husband got home from work later that day, she had just put the baby down for a nap. She walked up to her husband, placed their baby monitor right next to him, and told him she was going to the pool alone.
“He proceeded to tell me that I need to ask him and not just pass him the monitor and peace out,” she recalled.
