I broke my arm and asked my husband to help me with our 5-month-old twins, but he refused, saying, "Moms don't get sick days. You wanted kids, so you take care of them" — so I taught him a lesson he'd never forget.
A couple of days ago, I fell down the stairs at home and broke my arm. The doctor put it in a cast and told me not to lift anything heavy for the next few weeks so it could heal properly.
With 5-month-old twins, that was incredibly difficult.
So I asked my husband, Derek, if he could at least take a day off once in a while, come home even an hour earlier from work, or work from home from time to time so he could help me with our sons.
Derek rolled his eyes and said:
"I have a job. I'm not going to sit around with the kids."
I tried to stay calm.
"But Derek... my arm is broken. I'm in a cast. How am I supposed to handle two babies with one arm? I'm just asking you to help me A LITTLE."
He shrugged and said:
"Well, sweetheart, you're the one who wanted kids. So you take care of them. MOMS DON'T GET SICK DAYS OR DAYS OFF. That's not my problem."
I nearly collapsed onto the couch right then because I was so shocked by what he'd said.
I take care of our sons almost entirely on my own. I get up with them at night, feed them and rock them to sleep, change their diapers, take them for walks, take them to the doctor, and still clean the house and cook.
Derek REALLY wanted kids too, and we'd planned the pregnancy together.
Over the next few days, I became so exhausted that I asked my mom to come over and help with the babies.
Then one day, my mom couldn't come, and I couldn't bathe the babies by myself.
So I asked Derek again to help me.
He crossed his arms and said:
"I just got home from work. I'm tired. Why should I have to come home and take care of the kids too? You stay home and DO NOTHING ALL DAY."
So taking care of two babies at home meant doing nothing?
I was completely stunned.
But I'd had enough.
It was time for Derek to LEARN HIS LESSON.
So the next evening, when Derek came home from work, he went pale as a ghost.
Oh yes, and that was only THE BEGINNING.
Before the night was over, he was shouting:
