A new baby changes everything, or at least it’s supposed to. For one new mom, life now revolves around feedings, diapers and sleepless nights. Her husband’s schedule, meanwhile, is still full of card games, video games, sports and golf. When he announced yet another hobby, she finally said what she’d been thinking. He did not take it well.
She isn’t asking for a perfect partner, just a break now and then. But as she lays out how her husband spends his free time, the imbalance in their home becomes much harder to ignore.
His reaction left her doubting herself, so she asked strangers online to tell her honestly whether she was the problem. The extra details she added afterward revealed far more about what life at home is really like.
Is It Fair to Say “Enough Hobbies”?
She never asked him to give everything up; she simply drew the line at one more expensive hobby while she shoulders most of the parenting. Reddit was firmly on her side, with many pointing out that his life barely changed after the baby while hers changed completely. Her final note about her anxiety also shows how much this imbalance weighs on her. Was she right to say enough is enough? Tell us what you think in the comments.
