Juggling parenting with work and household responsibilities is no easy task, and often it can feel overwhelming to keep all of the plates spinning. Most couples find a way to split these duties up in an equal and fair way, so each parent doesn't feel swamped or burdened with a bigger share. But for others, a newborn baby can cause heated rows between partners as expectations on divvying up responsibilities can turn sour.
One new mum is frustrated at her husband as he's demanded that she pick up more household chores while she's on maternity leave, but then makes snide remarks about her 'ignoring' their newborn when she's doing said tasks. She's admitted that her hubby's comments are tongue in cheek, but she's still not happy with his criticisms given that she is doing most of the parenting.
