Work-life balance is necessary for one to be happy and fulfilled. When this balance doesn't exist, it's easy to feel dissatisfied with life. Vegetable-Release717 on Reddit took to the AITA subreddit to express her dissatisfaction concerning an incident with her husband.

According to the 29-year-old mother of two daughters aged 6 and 3, her husband works from 8 AM to 3:30 PM every week and often goes out with the boys after work, making him return around 5 PM or 6 PM.

On the other hand, Vegetable-Release717's typical day involves her waking up around 6 AM to do laundry, make breakfast, and get her eldest daughter ready for school. She also cleans the house, makes launch and dinner, and does all other chores.

According to her, all her husband does when he returns from work is eat, watch TV, and sleep. Vegetable-Release717 said she hasn't had a full day to herself since the birth of her youngest, so when a friend called her and asked if she would be interested in having lunch, going shopping, and getting a drink or two with her, she was excited.

When she told her husband about it, he seemed ok with the idea, so she assumed he would gladly watch the kids. However, on the outing day, when Vegetable-Release717 was about to leave, her husband stopped her and asked when the babysitter would arrive.

Vegetable-Release717 told him she didn't make arrangements with a sitter and that he would have to watch the kids. Her husband got angry, saying it was wrong for her to go have a good time and leave him to babysit.

He added that she shouldn't go anywhere unless she finds a babysitter. The duo got into a huge fight, and Vegetable-Release717 had to call her sister to watch the kids.

Since the incident, Vegetable-Release717's husband has been giving her the silent treatment. Is Vegetable-Release717 an ahole for expecting her husband to watch their kids while she goes out with her friend?

What Do You Think?

Being a Stay At Home Mom is an exhausting job. Dealing with kids, husbands, and daily household chores is hardly fun.

Just as many people resent spending their entire day at work, housewives can also get tired of spending all day at home.

While a chance to break up the routine by hanging out with a friend, going on a vacation, or doing anything fun, is fantastic, proper arrangements should be made to ensure the home continues running smoothly.
