I understood the other emphasis, I wouldn’t necessarily call it more subtle as the implication of the emphasis on mother is pretty clear.

But the tweet clearly mention “you wrap the present”, not “you have to go” and while it is possible someone puts that much importance on wrapping a present, I don’t think the choice to not wrap a gift would warrant such a reaction, whereas an exasperated partner might easily be fed up with their partner asking them to do something all the time. Which, let’s be fair, is a very common dynamic in relationships, where one person bears more of the load.

Both scenarios are definitely possible, I just see the one I proposed as more likely. I think someone would sooner be pissed off about being asked to do something than by another person’s choice to not wrap a gift.

I mean, if someone asks me to do something for them that they could easily do themselves I’d be more annoyed than when that someone decides to not do that thing altogether.
