The first months after giving birth tend to be the toughest, as even entirely normal newborns need a lot of attention. So this can often be a pretty good test of how couples manage splitting responsibilities and helping each other.
A woman asked the internet if she was wrong to demand to be allowed to take naps during the day, as childcare meant she couldn’t sleep during the night. Her husband thought it was unfair, but was entirely unwilling to pay for a nanny or quit his job to help with childcare. Later, after reading through the comments, she shared what happened next.
