Husband Wants To Cheat Wife’s Weekend Sleepover Agreement: ‘I Wasn’t Nice To Him’
A young wife and mother posted a compelling riddle on Reddit – and in around seven hours she received over 2,000 reactions and over 900 comments, later adding an edit to her original comments to share how her situation has changed.
The challenge she posted is about family, a young child, sleep — and an important relationship.
Writing on the subreddit known as “AITA” (“Am I the asshole”), the woman, who goes by the name “Puzzleheaded_Rip6227”, explained that she was 27, her husband was 24 and that they had a 10 month contract. old baby.

(She also said it was her “first time posting” and that “English is not my first language.”)
She described the “deal” she and her husband made regarding their current weekend schedules.
“Every Saturday, he sleeps in and I take care (fully) of the baby” in the morning, she writes.
The woman who posted her story on Reddit said her husband (not pictured) turned to her ‘and told her that as he woke up early that day, he would be sleeping the next day (Sunday)’ . (iStock)
Then, every Sunday, “he takes the baby and I sleep in”.
Everything has changed recently.
“This Saturday, she writes, the baby woke up around 7 am”.
The mother wrote that she also woke up, changed the baby and prepared a bottle for their baby.
“I said no, since it’s not our deal and it’s not my fault that he didn’t sleep.”
Then, “shortly after I feed him, my husband comes into the living room saying he can’t sleep anymore.”
The woman added, “I get it. I mean, it’s happened to me before and it’s just natural.”

However, that night she said her husband turned to her “and told her that as he woke up early that day, he would sleep the next day (Sunday).”
The woman said she pushed back on that decision.
“I said no, since it’s not our deal and it’s not my fault that he didn’t sleep.”
“To give a little more context,” the woman wrote that she is a stay-at-home mom and her husband “works full time during the week.” (iStock)
He told her it wasn’t fair – “because he works and I don’t”.
The woman then shared more about the family’s situation.
“To put a little more context, I am SAHM (stay-at-home mother) and he works full time during the week.”
She wrote, “Fact is, I do most of the housework (which I don’t mind, by the way) and her only responsibility is to take out the trash and unload the dishwasher. I do everything else + take care of the baby,” she added.
She said her husband “usually just helps me bathe and watch/play with her while I cook dinner. We’re okay with the way things are going – we’re a happy couple and family, but I don’t think it’s OK for him to say he works and I don’t, when it was a common decision that I would stay home with the baby until he’s one year old.”

She continued, “He ended up waking up early and letting me sleep today, but when I woke up he let me know that he was really tired and that I was not being nice to him. him and that I should have let him sleep instead.”
“I don’t think it’s okay for him to say he’s working and I don’t think so when it was jointly decided that I would stay home with the baby until he was a year old. “
So the wife and mother asked the others, “AITA for not letting my husband sleep?”
After asking this question, she added to her post.
“Additional info: we usually wake up at the same time during the week since I pack his bag for work, so I don’t sleep more than (him) during the week, and when my baby takes a nap, I do chores that I can’t do it when she’s awake.”
“Has he ever had to care for the child alone or for an extended period of time?” said one commenter of the dilemma that a woman (not pictured) shared on Reddit. “I worked two jobs while my wife was on parental leave with my daughter. Then when she returned to work, I took time off to take care of her. Taking care of a baby and home full time was more exhausting than having two jobs.” (iStock)
Of the over 900 comments people shared on the post, the most “positive” comment was, “NTA (not the asshole), but I have a suggestion. Not my idea but something my “A friend did when she was in the same situation. She documented her schedule for the whole week. Until things like: 1:05 p.m. – her son took a nap, did the dishes, planned dinner.
The same commenter continued, “It really gave her husband a better insight into SAHM life and the fact that she wasn’t munching on chocolates watching ‘General Hospital’ all day.”

She also wrote, “Many of you are shocked that I’m packing his lunch bag for work. I get it! I’ve been doing it since we got married because I packed both of our bags at the same time. I do it out of habit and honestly, it’s a nice gesture on his part – he appreciates it and I know he does.”
