ALMOST every parent knows how difficult it can be to take care of a newborn.
A first time mom has revealed how her husband's ridiculous expectations added to the pressure of taking care of their baby.
A Reddit user has shared the revenge she got on her husband, after he demanded she prepare dinner while on maternity leave.
"I’m currently on maternity leave, which my husband has interpreted it as me being a Stay at Home Mom instead of taking time to rest before I needed to return to work," the Reddit user explained.
She continued: "Recently, he’s been riding me about not having dinner ready when he gets home."
"It’s not like I can just stop taking care of our daughter to cook him a meal," the new mother said.

The original poster detailed how her husband's demands had become too much for her.
"He came into the house and began berating me for not having dinner 'ready and waiting' so he could just 'walk in and sit to eat,'" she explained.
"I was actively changing my daughter’s diaper while he went on this rant," the Reddit user added.
After the original poster's husband said he was tired of her laziness, the first time mother made a controversial decision.

"Ever since that day, I go to my mom’s house for dinner. I don’t cook anything for [my husband], and I’m already at my mom’s by the time he gets home," she told readers.
She finished her post by explaining how furious her husband was with her actions.
However, Reddit users took to the comments section to share their support for the mother-of-one.
"You are a wife and mom NOT a personal chef. Newsflash: You are not leaving him to starve. He is starving himself," wrote one person.
Another reader said: "Good lord he’s gonna expect her to work, take care of the baby, and feed his whiney ass."
"You are not his mother. He should be running home to take over the household stuff, including dinner, so you can rest," commented a third user.
