You can't be tired, I'm tired

  1. I’m assuming she’s a sahm because he says and I quote “wife does a great job at keeping them alive”. Sounds a lot like what she does on a regular basis.
  2. That sounds like a more baseless assumption than what I thought. Nowhere is there an indication she’s unhappy, just that she’s tired (The only thing she states is that she’s tired, there’s no mention of him not helping. She’s just mad he in that moment said he was tired). There’s also no indication she was forced into it or that in-laws expected her or anything else.
  3. Since all we have is this post to go on there is no “you never help out” just a mention of being tired.
  4. At no point did I mention that his job was tiring since that is stated in the post “work isn’t bad”. Just that since he works the child rearing does in fact fall on her.
  5. Then perhaps instead of being passive aggressive with hinting at needing help she should actually say she needs help. Getting mad at him for being tired is not helpful and is unfair especially if she’s being passive aggressive.
