My Husband Snapped at Me, ‘My Bedtime Is 11 PM & If the Baby Wakes Up, That’s Your Problem’—What His Mother Did Next Made Me Gasp
Viki and her husband Kevin welcomed their son Liam in January. After the birth, Viki returned to work quickly, and Kevin agreed to help watch the baby during her late-night online lessons—provided he could go to bed by 11 PM. However, Kevin became increasingly cold and unwilling to help when Liam woke up at night, telling Viki it was her problem to solve.
One morning, after Kevin snapped at Viki about his bedtime boundary, his mother Donna overheard the argument. She shared her own painful experience of being a single mother after Kevin’s father refused to help with childcare, urging Kevin not to treat Viki the same way. Donna’s words deeply moved Kevin.
Following this, Kevin apologized and began actively helping with Liam, learning to care for him and supporting Viki more. Though they still face challenges, their partnership improved, and Viki no longer feels overwhelmed alone.
