Motherhood is a challenging role that requires significant effort, often made more difficult when partners do not share parenting responsibilities equally. Many women report feelings of alienation and frustration when their partners do not contribute equally to childcare and household tasks. Examples highlight instances where women feel overwhelmed by their partner's lack of involvement, including refusing to participate in essential routines. This imbalance leads to resentment and disappointment, suggesting a need for better communication and cooperation between partners in parenting roles.
My husband is a stay-at-home dad, and I work full time. He spends most days playing video games and says educational activities are my responsibility.
My husband literally refuses to give our 3-year-old a bath or put him to bed. He would rather hold onto a screaming newborn than let me feed her.
He's treating parental leave more like a paid vacation, but still acts miserable every day. I’d rather do everything myself without his negative energy.
I genuinely expected a more even split of parental responsibility, and it’s disappointing that it’s so off balance.
