[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, please help me understand why her saying that her son looks tired equals a passive-aggressive indictment of you. Why couldn’t she just be making a comment that just happened when you weren’t there?

Which also leads me to question if the passive-aggressiveness wasn’t actually coming from your husband?? What was his purpose in sharing the comment? Does he think he’s doing more than you are? [/quote]

He may be doing a little more but marriage shouldn’t be about bean counting and keeping score. Not to mention after the pregnancy and labor women experience it’s ok for men to do a little more once the baby is born. It’s the least they can do after carrying their child for 9 months. Let’s be real here. Mothers will always carry the brunt of childcare and even in 2024 it’s not truly equal. So if for a little while the man is technically doing more of the grunt work it doesn’t compare at all to all the emotional and mothering that will happen compared to the amount of work the men do.[/quote]
